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.
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.
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?
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?
The industrial revolution and it’s consequences…
What is this the 19th century?
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?
And the audience comments could scroll by on the side! Brilliant!
Or they could put subway surfers on the bottom half of the screen.
*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.
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.
I imagine in a few decades we might have AI media. You could read a web novel with a fewer or a lot of pictures, or read it as a manhwa / webtoon, or as an anime, or as a virtual reality 3D experience that is semi-interactive. And you could give instructions to shorten or expand it, or even diverge in the plot a little, or change the characters. More like the holodeck with a VR headset.
So anything except actually enjoying reading a book.
Maybe more like someone reading you a book while you can ask questions or give feedback. And maybe instead of just watching pictures / illustrations, you could also describe your own imagination more detailed or give some rough sketches and create your own illustrations to the text. Like a modding feature for books and you can share the mods with other readers.
Hey google, is this media literacy?
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.
niconico-style comments that fly across the screen
I… what? I’m suddenly very happy for David Lynch, that he didn’t live long enough to see this catch on…
It hasn’t…caught on? People have just stopped going to movies as much, and I don’t think 4 concurrent showings of the new Jurassic Park movie at speeds 1x thru 2x are saving them.
Not in theatres, yes.
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
Just like me fr :3
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
Jokes aside, I think this would actually be an interesting thing that would get younger people back in cinemas. At least for the absurdity of it.
Yeah and what if we played it backward and with the colors inverted
About 10 years too late I think. That dumb shit died out years ago.
This post would fit perfectly:
That community just has post of people you individually disagree with or don’t like in it. Like vegans, or women. I’ll pass
Read again. Slowly.
That community [the community that you moderate along with a carnist community] just has post of people you individually disagree with or don’t like in it. Like vegans, or women. We should all pass
Now click the link and read again.
No, I don’t think I will
Reading is hard and understanding two layers (that you mean OOP and not OP of this post), is even harder
Yup. Unless of course this guy likes genocide defenders or Russian shills and he objects to calling them fucking idiots.
I guess it’d be a good place to post screenshots of your stuff. I did read it, you’re not magically a genius for telling others to read slower.
