We have some theaters that are "diner movie theaters" in the SF Bay
Area. I saw a movie at one in Oakland where we were able to order wine
and pizza. The menu was varied (didn't think it would be much fun to
try to eat pasta during the movie).
Problem with a lot of the "ornate" old theaters is they lacked stadium
seating. I'm even wondering how the line of site from the balcony of
the theater posted here works out. But many of these had almost flat
floor so if anyone 6' 10" sat in front of you then you didn't get the
see the movie.
The theater about 1/2 a mile from me was remodeled about 10 years ago
and was one of the first all digital theaters in the SF Bay Area
(technology seems to follow me around). All seats are stadium. But
since they are often small auditoriums I like to sit at the back row
right under the projection window. That way I avoid some problems that
stadium seating doesn't tend to solve: idiot behind you kicking your
seat, talking during the movie and putting their stinky tennies on the
back of the seat next to you.

*/Michael, I don't know about the UK, but one can have a drink
(alcoholic) in most movie theaters I've been to in the rest of Europe.
Some of the theaters even have full bars that are so nice that people
come to them to socialize and have a drink with friends even if
they're not seeing a movie. The bar in the ornate, wonderful
Tuschinski cinema in Amsterdam is like that:/*

Oh man, what an article! Now, is Scotland a part of Scorpion land
proper, do you think?
I mean when Marshy reviled England as the Scorpion land, he didn't
specify that Scots were included in it did he?
Of course, the woman involved could have been Scorpions up for a
weekend excursion in Glasgow.
Wonder how far this particular theatre is from the nearest flying hall?
Didn't know you could get booze while watching a movie. Do they allow
that in all of Scorpion land, or only in Scotland?
