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?

    The screen size doesn’t change depending on how far or close you sit to it though.

      But the angular perspective does. It “looks” smaller the further you are away.

      I really hope this doesn’t need to be explained…

      The apparent size of the screen relative to your vision totally changes. Airplanes flying by in the sky look real small cause they’re real far
