One of the fascinating bits surrounding ""Oppenheimer" is that some editing was actually done the old way - by physically cutting and then re-attaching parts of the editing stock -

In my younger days I spent literally tens of thousands of hours sitting in front of a 6 plate Steenbeck editing table, synchronising the sound and pictures of 35mm workprints/mag sound when the dailies arrived from the film lab for projection later that evening to the assembled cast/crew.

They of course were the dailies from the previous day's shooting.

Then they'd be chopped up again and put into hanger bins for first workprint assembly the next day.

Not to mention the delicate task of cutting the negative once the final cut was done.

Never my job, those people were high priest cave dwellers referred to in hushed tones.

Viewing the answer print was a wonderful day though.

Theaters today are not like that. Most you can reserve your seat where you like to sit. Second, the seats recline and have a cupholder for your soda or popcorn. If the movie is bad, you can take a nap.

My complaint was not about the seating arrangement, or the seat recline, or the cup holder. It was about other moviegoers. Sometimes people talk, or are otherwise noisy, or fiddle with their phone, etc. You might even get someone's phone ringing in the middle of the movie.
