Where do you sit in the theater?

Don't know if it's like this at other theaters, since I only really go to one, and haven't been in a long time, but I usually sit right behind the railing so that I have something to prop my feet up on, and no one complains because they can see over them. Now isn't that nice?

As to placement, though, I sit slightly right to the center, gives me dimension so that I don't lose myself in the movie and go crazy since I usually watch psychothrillers.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm a regular at the theater closest to me, so I've got all of the seats counted. I sit in the back row, center seat most of the time.

Depends on who I'm with. If I'm with myself or family, I sit in the very back row, Aisle seat, for the leg room. If I'm with my girlfriend or other friends we usually sit in the middle of the back risers somewhere.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I used to try and take the classic "middle row, middle seat" approach, but I have been sitting in the back row for awhile now. Since most of the theaters in my area have arena seating, I can see all of the screen comfortably, and don't have to worry about idiots kicking me (or their heads getting in the way.) I honestly haven't noticed a difference in the experience, so I think sitting in the middle wasn't really necessary.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It depends upon the movie. Due to being tall, I am fairly comfortable wherever I sit in the theater, (much to the chagrin of the person behind me) though some movies need to be seen upclose/faraway to get the full effect. I may make some seating shifts if the lighting is too bright. My preference is for high middle section.

FELIPE NO

i perfer mid center of the screen and mid row. so im just right. i get better sound quality there as well. lol

Most amazing jew boots

When accompanied by friends, I usually sit in the first row behind the special seating. With family, we usually end up somewhere in the nosebleed section...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I try to avoid front row seats because I am not fond of trying to look up to the screen, I usually sit around the center or somewhere up the top for the best views.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Same for me though I wouldn't go for the top, it would make things too small for me but it all depends on where you are going. There's nothing better like sitting in the center of the middle row. Excellent view accompanied with a good balance of sound treatment.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I saw a movie today. I try to sit in the middle, but it is usually the area that fills in first, so from then I go further back. Up close is always a last resort.

Middle/Middle. haha.

Right in the middle of things, not to far, not to close but just right. The theater in Kona just doesn't feel right if you sit in the back or the front.

I just sit wherever the movie screen will take up my entire field of vision and also preferably behind short people so I don't have to deal with bobbin heads in the middle of the movie.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

After working in a theatre for 8 months and having plenty of time in empty theatres to determine where the best sound is, I have determined that my favorite spot is slightly further back from halfway to the screen and as close to dead center as possible. I'll take other spots in the center rows if necessary, but if I have to sit all the way on the aisle seats, I usually just get a different time.

FELIPE NO

Middle of a row (or near enough) and then about two-thirds of the way back I tend to find is the best area to sit. In my local cinema they have these 'premier seat' rows, which aren't really much different to the normal seats (except more costly), they only really have wider gaps between each seat. I tend to pick seats in the row behind the last of the premier seats as the extra arm width of the row in front often means you get better leg room.

How ya doing, buddy?

I suffered through the first Fantastic Four movie in the VERY front of the theatre. Not only was the film bad, but my neck hurt horribly after the film ended.

I try to hit up the center of the theatre as far as distance from the screen goes. I don't mind being off to the side slightly so long as I am at a comfortable distance from the screen so my neck doesn't kill afterward.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I prefer sitting in the middle of the row and about a 3 to 5 rows back. I don't like being to close or too far away from the screen.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The theatre I usually go to has two tiers of seating. I usually try to go to the first row of the second tier. Its pretty much the exact center, and you get plenty of leg room as well. And for some reason, no one ever wants to sit there, which is completely cool with me XD

But occasionally I just go to a regular theatre, where I usually try to get around 2/3rds back, but occasionally when I see a movie on opening night I sometimes have to sit in the front, or to the sides seats. I've been trying to persuade my friends against opening nights, but they're too obsessed or something, even though each time we get horrible seats >.>

How ya doing, buddy?

When I worked at a movie theater in high school, ushers were assigned to clean up after each show. For sold out shows, our managers used leaf blowers instead of brooms to clean out each seat row, kicking up all kinds of garbage out of the aisles and towards the front of the theater. When they were done, all the garbage would be right in front of the main aisle, and we'd just sweep it up. Sometimes there would be tons of gross stuff kicked over the seats...and, yeah, I don't want to get into too much detail. But anyway, after learning about that cleaning method, I resolved to always sit in the back.

Usually the center on the middle 'er so rows.


I like to be eye level with the screen. I sat up top once. Didn't like it. Felt weird.

I do my best to sit in the very middle of the place. I guess I'd prefer a bit closer to a bit further, though.

How ya doing, buddy?
