I mentioned to a friend that a movie I watched recently was really good. It's a 2 hour film, which pretty much the new average these days. He applauded me for being to sit through such "long form content."

I think his take is pretty representative of the general public these days. There was even that wild discovery that modern streaming series are written in a way so that the characters are always describing and announcing what's happening because it's assumed that the audience is always looking at a second screen (their phones) so it makes it easier for them to follow along without acutally looking at the screen.

Crazy times we're living in. I honestly just prefer to avoid going to entertainment where a crowd can really make or break the experience, like cinema. I just wait for stuff to come out on video or streaming and I watch it at home on my projector with my Atmos sound system. It's not quite the same audio/visually but it's 10 times more enjoyable. The only times we pause a movie are for toilet and getting more snacks.
