It's no secret that films have been getting longer lately, and lots of folks seem to have a problem with this. But before you start complaining about a particular movie being too long, keep in mind that a baby made it through the entirety of the movie without any fuss.
In a display of unique determination, a fan attended Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer premiere at the London cinema Picturehouse Central with their baby in tow. Despite the film's epic three-hour runtime, this unconventional approach seemed to be the only way for them to experience the masterpiece. Film critic and podcaster Matthew Turner detailed the unusual incident via Twitter, stating: Not sure which is weirder: the fact that someone brought an actual baby to an 11.50am screening of Oppenheimer a couple of days ago, or the fact that said baby was glued to the screen throughout, didn't cry and only coughed a couple of times in THREE HOURS. Unlike in the US, where it's been rated R for "sexuality, nudity, and language," Oppenheimer has been rated 15 in the UK for "strong language and sex". We tried to reach out to the baby for a comment, but the baby did not have anything to share with us, being a baby and all. Nonetheless, online responses to this incident have been a riot, and we've been thoroughly entertained by most reactions.
