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 prefer to be near the back so i don’t have to turn my head to follow the action.
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.
Being in the back allows me to watch the action across the entire screen without having to zip my head side to side.
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.
