This was a Rogue Thought: how much is too much?
Inspired by blankfist work on SPIDERMAN 1+2+3 as an 4 hour epic.
I didn't want to taint his nice thread to what may be perceived as negative vibes so i started this one.
A 4 hour movie. Is this a good idea? can people actually sit down and watch non-stop for 4 hours?
If you say that you'd stop and watch it in 2 sittings then your answer is NO.
The intention is to watch it in one sitting otherwise why bother making it into 1 movie?
The length alone makes repeated viewing a chore rather than a pleasure.
Yes I have sat down in front of the tv and watched 4 hours... but not of the same thing.
I'd love to hear from those hardy souls that actually manage to do it. 4 hours non-stop.
The longest film I sat at the theater for was LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and even thou I thought i loved that movie, after a while it was torture.
My longest fanedit was KILL BILL X clocking at 150 minutes for both movies. Luckily it was my first fanedit and I could tolerate the screenings.
blankfist should win an award for just test screening this baby.
Anybody watched RISE OF THE EMPIRE non-stop? Another 4 hour fanedit.
that one just came and went without much of a Star Wars ripple, which I thought it should have got out of sheer audacity.
Was it too much of a good thing? what are its rapidshare download #? how about torrents?
And there are those intrepid souls that want to turn tv shows into movies (like boon's PRISON BREAK) from a source that expands minimum 12 hours per season, what length to strive for?
Again, this question goes beyond blankfist's SPIDERMAN or lewis RISE OF THE EMPIRE. It's not a critique of the fanedit, more of feedback on length and its potential effect on a fanedit's success.
I know there will always be intrepid faneditors wanting to create their epics, but knowing the time and effort that goes into making one of these, they should also know of the pitfalls if any.
Such as nobody cares.
