Everytime this show comes up, my mind automatically goes to the "brutalist" architectural style/era. And I wonder if this show is related to it?

Dramas often have a very specific pacing and tone, im not sure if you can keep the emotional aspect of Dramas up in a 3 hour movie.
But im curious, what is the longest runtime for a Drama? I would like to check that movie out to see how it is paced and all.
If you can hold peoples attention with a Drama for 3 hours, do it.

There arent that many Movies in general out there that go for 3 hours, so singling out superhero movies when its not that common, is a bit weird.
But i get what he means.

I'm not sure but I remember Hungarian movie Sátántangó is 7 hours and 20 minutes long.

Gone With the Wind was almost 4 hours long. And I think Titanic was 3 hours and something. But, for the most part, most movies nowadays aren't that long.

This feels like The Zone of Interest all over again with the movie not getting an expanded release until sometime in January of this year!

So glad to see Guy Pearce in a movie that is getting such acclaim. I love the guy, but he’s appeared in some real garbage over the years. I remember trying to watch some stupid movie he was in where a bunch of bikers take an entire town hostage and I honestly felt really bad for him.

Yeah, his appearance in Iron Man 3 was controversial and his old man makeup in Prometheus still cracks me up even though I generally like both of those movies. But then at the same time, he was in back-to-back Best Picture winners, The Hurt Locker and The King's Speech. I forgot he was in either of those actually but I haven't seen them in well over a decade.

Every time I see him in that Prometheus makeup it makes me think of Dan Akroyd in Nothing But Trouble.

It's uncanny! Actually, Aykroyd's makeup somehow looks better for a movie that was made two decades earlier.

It does! I couldn’t believe how horrible Pearce looked in that movie.

I will say this for Pearce’s Peter Weyland though. He gave possibly the best performance in Prometheus aside from Fassbender. Unfortunately, it was in a promo for the movie and not actually in the movie itself, lol.

Along those lines, you could also say the same thing for Covenant with the one scene he had in the beginning with Fassbender.

You could, but I refuse to compliment anything about Covenant.

Like, Prometheus was bad, but at least Ridley Scott was trying a bit there. Covenant was just Alien Sleepaway Camp with Kenny Powers thrown in for some ****ing reason.

Finally got tickets to see this (in IMAX) next week.

I saw this and I'll wait until more of you have seen it when it opens wide before going into too much detail but this was truly incredible. I can easily see why everyones been fawning over this. The performances were incredible. Truly some career best performances from Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce. The score, cinematography and production design were also outstanding. This should be a shoo-in for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor for Brody. I wouldn't be upset if Jones or Pearce won either.
