Yesterday I finally got to go and see Oppenheimer. I was excited about seeing this blockbuster on the big screen. I love Christopher Nolan films, and I love World War II history, so this was going to be huge!

Isn't that why most businesses have a no-shoes, no-shirt, no-service policy? I had to look it up. Here's all it says.

  • No profanity, disruptive behavior or vulgar attire
  • No smoking, vaping or e-cigarettes
  • No carry-in food and beverages
  • No children under the age of six are allowed into R-rated movies
  • No costumes or masks/face painting/make-up that cover an individual’s face
  • Avoid using cell phones/electronic devices in auditoriums
  • No recording devices may be used in auditoriums
