When I watched Return of the King in a theater they had 10 or 15 min break in the middle, it was the first and last time I've seen such arrangement. It would be nice if Hollywood finally accepted such format and just went with 3-4 hour long movies with a break. Not for all movies of course, but at least for the more complex ones. I mean not making 2:30 long movie and then just pad it with irrelevant, often static scenes for some "Complete Movie Of the Year Directors Super Duper Cut Edition" clocking at 3:00, but having zero new content as compared to theater cut. That's just a dumb trend imho. But instead actually plan the story for 3 or 4 hours, with a proper increase of storytelling, characters and so on. Just for some top AAA movies.

Intermissions feel dated. But when I saw Ben-Hur at the fathom event, boy did I need it!

My video game clan takes hourly bathroom/stretch breaks, since we're all in our 30s and 40s. It's pretty great

Growing up in India, movies always had an intermission. They even used to cut Hollywood movies at 45 minutes. I always looked forward to the break because it was one of the rare occasions my parents would let me and my sister have soda and pop corn.
