What died out? Film?

[danielvaughn]

The practice of filming a montage around your local neighborhood or town to play during intermission. Though you could say intermission as well, since that was a legacy concept that was inherited from plays and eventually died out as well.

The idea of an intermission is something that I think should be entertained. 2001 A Space Odyssey has a 10 minute intermission for instance. It can also split up potentially longer pieces.

“The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.” - Alfred Hitchcock

IIRC Tarantino experimented with it in The Hateful Eight, in some theaters.
