Popcorn I can handle, crisps are the worst. I can't freaking believe it when people bring or buy crisps like Dorito's or something to the cinema. Had someone answer his phone in the seat next to me during The Avengers as well. By going to a midnight showing for MoS I'm expecting these types will be filtered out and everyone there will be too glued to the screen to eat or slurp anything.

This is precisely why in my cinema I always sit here:
The area is designed for people in wheelchairs to get in with their friend/family next to them (so obviously I would move if someone needed the seats), but that basically means 1. You have tonnes of space 2. You have that wall behing you blocking the noise of the people behind you. 3. You are slightly higher than the front seats so there is nothing blocking your view (that almost no one sits in if they can help it), and 4. The only time anyone will try and sit next to you is when it's completely full
I don't know why no one else ever does the same thing... it's weird... am I the only one who's this anti social at the movies?
Haha oh I'm absolutely anti social. I will usually sit 4rth or 5th row from the back. I hate being up that close. I can't focus. I have a friend who always, ALWAYS sits in the very front row. Very hard to share popcorn that way. Lol

Yeah, I guess that's probably why most people don't like those seats.
I don't like being right at the front because it's too close. But I do like being in a lower down seat than the ones in the back. I really like looking up at movies, I think it's a psychological thing - makes me feel like a kid staring up at wonder or something
Dang what cinema is that? Those be some nice seats!
I definitely get what you mean. Of course, not to get back on this subject, but now I'd be afraid to sit THAT close up to the exit/entrance. That is just how I think now when I enter a theater.
Bristol Showcase Cinema de Lux. It is a really nice cinema, much better than the other option in town which is an odeon. They do hot food, the seats rock back and forth and the sound is great. Of course, it's exspensive - about 9 quid a ticket - but if you get a members card (for free) you get tickets for a fiver on sun/mon/tues and special members preview screenings and stuff.
Oh and they have a special Director's Hall that's even fancier. The chairs are even bigger and have a little table bit attached, you go into a special directors longue before the movie and get greeted with a little Box of chocolates and can get cocktails at the bar and take them in with you. Tickets for those showings are about 15 quid, but once in a while it's fun. I did that for Skyfall and they had a free Martini on entry, was awesome
I'm way to naively optimistic to think anything bad will happen to me. And I kind of prefer being that ignorant. If it is going to happen, it'll happen, no point worrying about it!
For MoS I'll probably go and see it in IMAX for the first time and then go to a cine capri screening afterwards. The Cine Capri room is glorious.
Yeah my first time will be at the BFI Imax in London. I'm super excited
