For those interested with Tower projection like myself, I have found out from the UK distributor that the Intermission is to be at the end of reel 3. Precise time was unable to be given, also an Intermission title will not be supplied.

End of reel 3??????? Isn't is 9 reels

That would make Act 1 1 hour and Act 2 2 hours

thats a little harsh.

Interesting. Someone put a stopwatch to the film and see what the scene and reel number is at 98 min 30 sec.

Incidentally, I thought the end of reel 3 was a pretty decent place to stop.

Intermission after reel 3 ??

Why do we stop the film at all. -To sell popcorn a second time to the same custumer. -To stop the traffic from seat to toilet, that goes so much up about two hours from showstart, that it will make more disturbance than an intermission. -Or what ??

Reel 3 must be one hour from start, and could not in any way help on the pissing problem, and even hardcore popcorn eaters have a bit left yet in the bag...

Heh, 'intermission,' what a novel concept. With Carmike's idiotic showtimes, we only have 15 minute between drop and start, so an intermission is not an option.
