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?

I haven't seen a movie in a theater since... forever. Probably 20 years.

I do watch a lot of plays though. Would throw money for that any time.

At the plays? There are ticket numbers here, you don't just get to pick where you sit, you sit where the ticket says you should sit. You can't always pick and choose, depends if the play is sold out or not, but if I get to pick, middle, 5th, 6th row, not too far, not too close.

I often go to plays to. For me, the best seat is on the stage with the other actors. Bwahahaha. 😝

Even if I'm not accepted for a role being a stage hand is still a thrill.

Nah, I just like enjoying them. I did act for a short while, while I was in uni, amateur theater, but that was just for fun, I never saw myself as an actor.
