It seems everyone has a different sitting preference at the movies. I want the ultimate experience: the screen completely filling my vision, like I’m in the movie. Usually the third or fourth row. My wife complains we’re too close. Then I see people way in the back and it must be like watching TV the screen is so small. I don’t understand that at all. So, Lemmy, where do you sit with your popcorn and why?

Bonus question: best movie food / candy, and how do you sneak it in?

    Have you been to an IMAX? Every seat can see the whole screen.

    I don’t understand this comment… Why do you think I’m implying that people can’t see the whole screen from every seat? I don’t see how it’s related to what I said.

    I was simply jokingly observing the irony of sitting at the back to reduce the size of the screen in your field of vision because you have difficulties observing a wide field – a problem that is exacerbated by going to a larger screen in the first place.

        Yes, he understands that but then why go to the big theatre? Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

        • Bigger the better! This 70mm IMAX is a rare treat. Very few IMAX can show it.

          Why wouldn’t i want to sit in front of a huge screen in a good position where I can just sit back and take it all in without being dizzy by whipping my head side to side following the action.
