The Good, the Bad, and the extremely long run time
Wednesday, June 26, 2013
Tonight's scheduled CineVerse film, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, is actually the restored, extended version that reinserts 19 additional minutes into the movie that had been trimmed out for decades, making the final film as close to director Sergio Leone's original cut as possible. While that will be a treat to watch, that means that the film will run for 3 hours (20 minutes longer than I had anticipated). Hence, we will need to start the movie promptly at 7 p.m. sharp, take a 3-minute bathroom break at 10 p.m., and reconvene for 20 or so minutes of discussion. I completely understand if some of our members cannot stay for the discussion. My apologies for not being aware of the longer-than-expected run time. Hope to see you this evening.
