    Oppenheimer was 3 hours long. We watched it from home over three nights with plenty of food, booze, pee breaks, etc. I could pause and rewind observe a visual effect again or rehear a piece of dialogue. Watching from home is a superior experience most of the time.

    The exception is when socializing is part of the experience. Like watching Rocky Horror or going to an outdoor screening where people are milling about between picnic blankets chatting and sharing food or theaters that have an established etiquette of talking and shouting more than you would find in other theaters, typically associated with black neighborhoods but not always. Not your generic AMC theaters.
