Mr Scorsese, Ms Schoonmaker, I love you guys and I love the film, but maybe you should look into the half hour of f***ing trailers I had to sit through instead of complaining about a much needed intermission some theaters were courteous enough to add for their patrons. I got to the theater a half hour before the scheduled start time, then when it came, I had to sit there for another half hour of trailers before the three-and-a-half hour movie started. And one of the trailers was for a Marvel film of characters I've never heard of. In front of a Scorsese movie. ARE YOU READING THIS MARTY? A TRAILER FOR A THIRD RATE MARVEL FILM WAS PLAYED BEFORE YOUR MOVIE!!!
Seriously, too many stupid trailers. Fortunately I made it through the whole movie without having to get up. I even stayed until the credits ended, which I'm glad I did because there are some cool easter eggs and tributes in there. I don't know why Scorsese and Schoonmaker didn't just add an intermission themselves. The film is kinda structured in two parts anyway. The arrival of the Bureau of Investigation would have been a great cliffhanger/cutoff point.
