it would also help for people who need to get up and stretch for chronic pain,
or people who need to get up and stretch because they are at high risk of blood clots...

Plus it would help the cinema. Like I restrict how much I eat/drink because I don't want to have to get up for a toilet break, but if there were an intermission and I could, all bets would be off.

Just enough time for them to get out of their seats, almost to the doorway of the living room, and the movie resumed. Several "Damn it!"s ensued!
