Real life is often more interesting than fiction. War movies, historical epic movies, major sport achievements. I'm sure you can think of at least one movie in each of those categories that you really enjoy. Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart, Rudy, anyone?

Stadium seating sucks and I hate it. There's a point for ya.

carousel in greensboro has theaters ~36 seats. they're leather and the screen is fairly small. but i kinda like those theaters. leather seats, and the four of them that are that size has it's own concession stand with wine and nice things and whatnots.

I am envious of the Carosel's bi-curious bookings.

Yes, I hate stadium seating. The seats in the front are still too close/low, but the seats in the back are too high. If I wanted to look down on a movie, I'd put my TV between my knees. A stadium seating auditorium has 2-3 rows with an optimal viewing angle/distance, as opposed to traditional seating, which has about 15 depending on the auditorium.

the da vinci code is worth the price of admission...so go see it and pay to see it

^^What are you even talking about. I'd say that situation is reversed. There are about 15 useful rows with stadium seating and 2 useful rows with traditional seating.

The two useful rows with traditional seating are the ones where no one is sitting directly in front of you... until 5 minutes before the movie starts, then some fat guy comes in and leans the seat back into your knees and makes sure he has good posture so his head blocks 1/2 the screen. Yes, there's no beating that experience.

Stadium seating was one of the best things theaters have done in recent years.

^ you beat me to it.

ps. I am that fat guy
