back row right under the projection window.
Damn right! My favorite place now. I used to see teenagers almost exclusively
sitting there and thought they just did it so they could get up to no good
without anyone seeing them or to be able to text and all that jazz during the
movie.
Then a couple years ago, I was with my daughter for the afternoon, had picked
her up after her rehearsal in a young people's play at the time. I asked if she
wanted to go see a movie to which she said yes. So using her apps she checked
her phone to see what was playing and instead of anyof the ones I thought she
would pick, she asked to see Now You See Me.
I had not heard of it but in my typical daddy mode I gave her what she asked
for so we went to see Now You See Me - one of the BEST films I have seen in
years, and we were the only people in the movie. Sat at her request in the very
middle of the top row, under the projection window. Best seats in the house!!!

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?
