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.

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

I... what? I'm suddenly very happy for David Lynch, that he didn't live long enough to see this catch on...

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?

*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.

Or they could put subway surfers on the bottom half of the screen.

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.

Omfg most musical thester people can barely play anything with 16th notes past 120bpm this will not end well lol

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.

YouTube added customisable speeds recently!

I find 1.4 to be enjoyable, but 2x if I need to get through something dense.

I usually watch anime on 2x, but I struggle with other media at that speed, probably cause I can read faster than listen to words in english lol. I do watch videos in my native language faster on the rare occasions I do watch any
