Part 5/11:
An interesting analogy is made comparing theater etiquette to unspoken rules in other social settings, such as the concept of leaving space in restroom urinals or seat selection in theaters. The consensus suggests that theaters should return to a more disciplined approach, limiting commercials and ensuring that trailers serve as a true preview rather than an extended commercial block.

Comfort is another significant factor in the ongoing debate. Attendees share preferences for certain theaters that offer plush seats, ample armroom, and a respectful environment. Some theaters are praised for their well-curated pre-show entertainment and minimal advertising, making the experience more enjoyable and proportionate to the time investment.
