Pearl Jam and Sonos are giving away tix to a private screening of this that includes "45 minutes of footage not seen in the theaters". Will this content be on the DVD/Blu-Ray?

There's a fine balance between having the attention span, and the ability to stay awake when sitting still.
Funnily enough, there's a mathematical formula that Hollywood uses match the effects of their shots to the attention spans of their audiences. The pattern was derived by scientists at the University of Texas in Austin in the 1990s who studied the attention spans of subjects performing hundreds of trials. The team then converted the measurements of their attention spans into wave forms using a mathematical technique known as the Fourier transform.
They found that the magnitude of the waves increased as their frequency decreased, a pattern known as pink noise, or 1/f fluctuation, which means that attention spans of the same lengths recurred at regular intervals. The same pattern has been found by Benoit Mandelbrot (the chaos theorist) in the annual flood levels of the Nile, and has been seen by others in air turbulence, and also in music.
The discovery was made by measuring the length of every shot in 150 comedy, drama and action films, and then converted the measurements into waves for every movie. The more recent the films were, the more likely they were to obey the 1/f fluctuation, and this did not just apply to fast action movies. The significant thing is that shots of similar lengths recur in a regular pattern through the film.
Obeying the 1/f law makes films “resonate with the rhythm of human attention spans,” and this makes them more gripping. Films edited in this way would then tend to be more successful and the style of shooting and editing more likely to be copied. In the Film Noir genre, they do not generally follow the 1/f law, with shot lengths tending to be more random. By contrast The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and the 2005 blockbuster movie Star Wars Episode III both follow 1/f rigidly.
The researchers concluded that over the next few decades film makers may take more care to follow the 1/f law to try to boost audience engagement.

This was worth reading
