Although ‘Irishman’ director Martin Scorsese wishes the world would have been able to see his Oscar contender in theaters, he knows that his movie will be seen in numerous ways. He just has one request — don’t watch it on your phone. Speaking to film critic Peter Travers on his ABC show “Popcorn with Peter Travers,” Scorsese talked about the idea of people watching his three-and-a-half-hour film on their tiny phone screens. “I would suggest — if you ever want to see one of my pictures, or most films — please, please don’t look at it on a phone, please. An iPad, a big iPad, maybe,” Scorsese said. “In a funny way, I think I made it to cover all the bases in terms of how you could watch this picture,” the filmmaker added. “Ideally, I’d like you to go to a theater, look at it on a big screen from beginning to end. And I know, it’s long — you gotta get up, you gotta go to the bathroom, that sort of thing, I get it — but also at home, I think if you can make a night of it, or an afternoon thereof, and know that you’re not gonna answer the phone or you’re not gonna get up too much, it might work.” “The Irishman” is available now on Netflix.
