9 wouldn't. Dr. No's about two and a half hours, I'd be sleeping shortly afterwards so I'm happy with that arrangement.

Its only an hour 50 minutes according to my quick googling

Ayy Ben-Hur was in 59 and it was almost 4 hours lmao most of the early Bond movies were right around 2 hours though and they don't really start getting longer until the Craig ones I believe

There are obviously some longer films in the day, but generally speaking studios wanted films to be about 90 minutes. For maximum theater screenings. I don’t know when films started getting really long, but I want to say it was one the comic book movies that made studios realize that you can make money on longer films.

Gone With The Wind was in 1939 and still holds the record for longest full-length feature motion picture.

How does Fyter Fest affect this? Do we push this back or reschedule?

I'm fine with watching this instead of Fyter Fest, but if more would rather watch Fyter Fest I'm down to do whatever has the most people discussing it. I'm starting a new job on Monday, and I'm not sure what my work schedule will be so if we don't watch it tonight, I'll have to let you guys know when a good time will be in a few days when I figure that out.

Since Fyter Fest is live and this isn't, it makes more sense to do both to me tbh.

But, yeah let us know when is good for you, though.

We'll definitely have to work around schedules anyway since we want to do them all.

Yeah, I'd still be down to watch Bond after if it ends around 11 EST, but probably not if it ends any later. Double or Nothing went kinda late, but if this one is shorter we should be able to watch Dr. No after since it's not even 2 hours.
