Hemi-Cuda, I imagine if you told Tarantino that you'd been on your phone, and didn't miss anything he'd give you a big smack upside the head. You miss out on the immersion. It really felt like 1969.
Often long movies like that have my wife asking to watch them over 2 nights, but when I paused it 2 hours in we were surprised we had gone that far, and finished it. So it didn't feel like a drag to us.
I will say DiCaprio's part was the least interesting in the movie though, and could have used less of it.

IMO it's a special movie that will stand up in time for its depiction of the late 60's. I think any non-action movie that pushes 3 hours isn't going to be for everyone but for the entire movie I felt transported back in time so not a single minute of the runtime was lost on me.
