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?

    Edge seat nearest the door. A lot of the movies I’m willing to spend money to see are over 2hrs and I typically have to piss somewhere in that time. A quick convenient exit lets me get in and out with no fuss. I wish movies still had intermissions.

    Bonus: Bit-o-Honey, just stick a few in one of your pockets. The body heat warms it up so it’s not rock hard. No loud wrapper, not particularly messy.

        Flip phone, so no apps. Just pick my dash spot by need and feel.

        Most movies have a 2-3 min slow spot I can dash in. Then I do my best to peel porcelain.
