This comment made me realize that English needs a word for “sequel to a sequel”

It’s not. It’s off topic and should be deleted

Am I being trolled or do people not know how years work

Why do people keep naming 60s films with 4 minutes of musical intros when I’m asking for 40s and 50s films with 10 minute credit intros lol?

Edit: overture is the word I was looking for, not “musical intro”. But that’s not a thing that happened in early cinema (barring Chaplin, who had strict control of scores - would be interested if someone else cares to google that)

4 minutes. That’s a great example of the rare symphonic opening I was referencing.

But that’s also not the 40s or 50s.

Please name one. Never seen one that had more than 2 minutes of opening credit even if you include the extra symphonic stuff as “credits” (we don’t count previews toward runtimes now, so not sure it’s a fair comparison). Maybe one or two had a dedicated symphonic opening but that was exceedingly rare

The Truffaut film referenced is an hour and 45 minutes.

What movie had 10 minutes of opening credits? Back when credits were at the open, it used to be about 30 seconds of credits.

It doesn’t sound like they are saying the are going to block sideloading, just sideloading stuff like Kodi that are often used for illegal streaming
