I wouldn’t call it a dystopian nightmare, just movies are no longer as engaging as they used to be. Now I can text/send videos pics or voice to any of my friends at any moment I feel. Why should I force myself to watch the boring part of a movie?

this is the kind of thinking that results in app ideas like "new app that uses AI to predict the least offensive time to take a pee break during a work meeting"... and this is precisely the kind of thing that blunts us into being automatons.
Why bother paying to be in a theater at all then? Why are you paying to be bored?
