I was watching 2001: A Space Odyssey<\/em> (1968) not long ago and I sat through the intermission in the middle of the movie. During that short break, I just sat there collecting my thoughts, even though I\u2019ve seen the movie several times before. I love that portion of the film. It shows nothing but black and has an eerie, yet mesmerizing score throughout. It only lasts for about three minutes.<\/p>\n

Then it hit me: why don\u2019t movie theaters show intermissions anymore? They don\u2019t take long, and they give the audience a break from the film. Almost every live show (play, musical, etc.) I\u2019ve attended has had an intermission. The shows can be up to three hours long, and having that twenty-minute break is beneficial to the audience.<\/p>\n

Think about it: many movies have long run-times, and some people are already dying to use the restroom as soon as the credits start rolling. I know I\u2019ve been there, and I\u2019m sure you have too. I hate missing a single moment of the movie, and I don\u2019t have the convenience of pausing the film for a restroom break. Asking the projectionist to pause the reel for my benefit is certainly not an option.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy to oblige when someone needs me to move out of the way so they can get past me, but it can be distracting at times. Having an intermission could help prevent that.<\/p>\n

\"Intermission\"<\/a>
hmmdaily.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sometimes people need to stretch their legs after sitting for a certain length of time. I\u2019m grateful for that reprieve while I\u2019m watching a play. It would be rude of me to spontaneously stand up and stretch during a movie \u2013 I wouldn\u2019t blame my fellow audience members for throwing popcorn at me if I did.<\/p>\n

This may be a hard pill for me to swallow, but an intermission would also give the rude moviegoers a chance to talk amongst themselves. They could talk about the film or whatever else their chatty little hearts desire. That\u2019s their business, and if they need to let it out, that would be their chance. I believe in proper theater etiquette<\/strong><\/a>,<\/span> but this break would allow an exception for those who can\u2019t keep quiet for two-plus hours.<\/p>\n

I think intermissions should be included in films that are at least two-and-a-half hours. Shorter movies likely wouldn\u2019t require the break.<\/p>\n

Monty Python and the Holy Grail<\/em> (1975) hilariously spoofed the intermission by having one that lasted about five seconds. The mental image of an entire theater getting up out of their seats, then immediately sitting down when the \u201cIntermission\u201d sign went away, is hilarious! While that joke was for comic effect, the movie is only an hour-and-a-half long. It didn\u2019t need<\/em> an intermission, but I\u2019m still happy that it had one for laughs.<\/p>\n

If my memory is correct, I think I had to use the bathroom right after each of the Lord of the Rings<\/em> movies. They were all at least three hours long, and I couldn\u2019t bring myself to leave the theater. I was too engrossed with the story unfolding in front of me.<\/p>\n

Intermissions started to fade away in the 1980s<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. Gandhi <\/em>(1982) is one of the last mainstream films known to have an intermission shown in the theater. I\u2019m not sure why cinemas stopped using them.<\/p>\n

I would like intermissions to be brought back on an \u201cexperimental basis,\u201d even if for a short time. They should play again in theaters, just to see how audiences react. I even have friends who have said they couldn\u2019t get into some movies, purely because of the length. I wonder if an intermission will help them change their minds.<\/p>\n

To the powers-that-be, bring the intermission back. The short break doesn\u2019t need to be an inconvenience.<\/p>\n

Happy watching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
