"Intermission" is such a quaint word. Such mid-show stoppages are still used in this country for live theater -- Hamilton doesn't make patrons throw away their shot at a bathroom break. And movie intermissions are apparently still common in India.

But the last time I remember a movie using an intermission in the US was nearly 20 years ago, when I saw a rerelease of the 3-hour, 38-minute 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia at a Minneapolis art theater. That's a classic movie for sure, but midway through, a quick chance to stretch was as welcome as an oasis in the Arabian desert.
