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?
Center seat, about a third of the way to the back. This is where we setup to calibrate the surround systems back in the 90s and I’m not aware of any change to this so I still sit there.
Dolby standardized to 2/3 in 2005 and everyone copied them.
Thanks for the info, I’m going to have to start sitting farther back.
