The dopamine must flow!
I can kind of understand the people who speed up audiobooks and podcasts. But movies? That's nuts. |
I wonder if OP was alive during the VCR era. I bet they would have loved the FF button. AKA chipmunk mode.
I hate watching anything faster than normal. I want bad things to happen to this person.
do you want bad things to happen to OOP at 1.5x speed?
No, more like 0.5x speed so we can savour it
Nope, 0.5x
this user, right here, what?
this person needs to beblocked into the Clockwork Orange device
Why waste time like this? Wouldn't it be better if cinemas would use vertical screens where a popular youtuber would describe the plot of the movie in like 30 seconds while talking at 2x speed?
Or they could put subway surfers on the bottom half of the screen.
What is a subway surfer
And you can pay extra for a chinese voice counting numbers as back noise.
*an AI describes part of a scene in a movie, badly.
And the title is something like “HE USES SUPERPOWERS TO SAVE HIS FRIEND #MOVIE #FILM #CINEMA #SHORTS”. Also, the name of the channel is any two word combination of: movie, cinema, star, summary, domain or reels. And each upload is either 15 to 25 minutes or a short and the channel uploads something every day.
Why waste time watching an entire movie when you can just read the spoilers and know what's it about in less than 5 minutes?
Absolutely not me watching cinemasins as a substitute to watching the whole movie.
Look, I am the type who watches lectures at 1.25x or 1.5x speed or something. But movies? It'd ruin the pacing. If you can't bring up the attention to watch a movie then maybe you just shouldn't
What if we invented drugs that allow you to enjoy any content 1.5 times faster?
Maybe that'd just make the content 1.5 times longer and 1.5 times more expensive
And also add a subway surfer with family guy funny Momentes for the ultimate goldfish experience
And a live comment section. Or even synced commentary streams by YouTubers you can view on your phone via their Wi-Fi? You're paying to see the movie anyway, so they won't be limited by fair use.
I kinda want this (live comment section)
am I okay?
Does this person not pay for their ticket? It costs 15$ for a ticket at our theater. Why would I want to waste that money by having it sped up? It's hard enough finding movies that are worth watching in the first place.
For obvious reasons this will never happen. That being said, I do the same with most content. When YouTube I use from 1.25 as an absolute minimum to 2.0 a lot of the time. Average being 1.5. For movies/series I tend to opt for 1.25-1.33.
But this all fails when any music is involved - then I dial it down to 1.0.
If you look at old silent movies, they were played at different speeds in different cinemas and projections. There wasn't a standard way to play a movie, no "you NEED to play the movie at this specific speed or it will be ruined". I'm not saying the same should apply to modern movies, but I find it interesting.
That is not true. There was a standard, which is different from todays standard. Which is why it looks funny being played at todays standard, but mostly they get digitally fixed and they look completely natural now.
Theaters and opera, too. I'm sure the actors will be willing to get their shifts cut by 20-50 % if we help them negotiate the same pay per performance.
I... what? I'm suddenly very happy for David Lynch, that he didn't live long enough to see this catch on...
