What do you think of the film so far?
Getting any snacks or drinks?
Any other plans for the intermission?
Please don’t post your thoughts on the entirety of the film in this thread, there’s a monthly cinema thread for that

Are we allowed to post the thoughts we’ve had during the intermission of previous viewings in this thread or is it intended to be a live experience only?
When I was in the intermission for The Brutalist (2024), I had a quick wee then sat and enjoyed the music. I also thought “so far, so good”.

I enjoyed the little countdown on the holding slide

Don’t like the new gimmick of interviewing the actors at half time

My first viewing intermission experience:
- went for a wee leaving my belongings with my partner
- came back and wondered why the intermission image with the countdown wasn’t being projected
- sat around for ten mins or so with a blank screen as everyone starting to go back to their seats and then they started projecting the actual intermission with the countdown
In summary, my first experience of the intermission was quite frustrating as it lasted longer than it was supposed to. 1x wee, 0x snacks
My second viewing intermission experience:
- went for a wee quickly leaving my belongings on the seat
- the intermission image and countdown was on screen properly
- after my wee I sat down and ate my sweeties which were purchased pre-film
In summary, my second intermission experience was superior to my first.

I spent most of my time in the intermission feeling a bit nervous that people wouldn’t make it back in time - worried they’d miss some key detail once it picked up again, which might dull their enjoyment or appreciation of what struck me as a well-crafted but ultimately unengaging piece of cinema.

One little detail that I LOVED was the sound of the slide projector during the interval placeholder.
Like a perfect little pavlovian treat for those who sat through architecture lectures in the pre-powerpoint era.

I had a ham and cheese sandwich and a bag of malteasers I’d brought from home in the cinema lobby
I’ve called security to kick you out

I got in a lift to the toilet and did a wee and then used the stairs to go back down

Has anybody on here done a poo during the intermission?
I had a lovely time. Just weewee’d and stretched my legs.
In the first half I was sat in a jet of cold air which I didn’t really enjoy so I moved forward one row after the intermission. It was still a bit chilly so I took my coat out of my bag to use as a makeshift blanket.
This has been covered elsewhere but for prosperity, in the very appropriate thread, my reading glasses fell out of my bag whilst getting my jacket out. Didn’t realise until I got home. Called the cinema who said they would email me if they were handed in. Didn’t hear a thing for a week so went up there and asked if I could search the screen myself and they said that was cool after the film showing in that screen had finished. Came back later, made a search and found them tucked between seats 10 and 11 in row C.
They’d been there for 8 days for goodness sake! Amazing!

Oh dear!
I had to leave at the break because I got a call that my baby was vomiting and can I come home (he’s all fine now). That was three weeks ago and I haven’t seen the second half so in many ways I’m still in the intermission.

The nicest thing about the intermission is that you can enjoy the sounds of the extremely good pianist John Tilbury.
I put my jacket on to go to the toilet because I felt weird leaving it unattended. Then I felt weird taking a pee in a jacket like it was my special pee jacket and I took it back off when I got back to my seat.

I left my jacket in the theatre because there was only one other person there.
