Does that mean you don't like seats towards the front? I just thought that makes an interesting question, as I've never understood while people pile up towards the back.

From the front (of the Bluewater Screens anyways) You are very close to the screen, I have to look up all the way through the film, and I find I cant see all the screen without looking around it, and miss some of the action in the fast scenes!

My preference if I can choose a seat would be end of a centre row, about 4 or 5 rows from the back. But anywhere in the upper section is ok as it is teared back more steeply, and is far enough from the screen to see the whole of it!

In bluewater the 'graphic' noises usually come from the 'Gallery Seats', they are sofas placed in their own VIP section at the back of the cinema, really comfy and quite intimate.. I think people just get a bit carried away. But at £15 a ticket, they cant have liked the film much?

yeah front row can sometimes be too close but 2nd or third row is usually fine for me as long as it's near the centre and not on a tight angle at the sides. I think the sides at the front are about the worst seats because you see the film at a really strange angle.

Hello,
I've got a horrible flu, but nevertheless very happy as I have won two DVDs and a trip to Ibiza.
I will get in touch once I get out of this sickening headache!
I just wanted to let you know. Once I'm back on my feet I' ll get current, now I feel like I'm standing on my head all the time, good for Yoga training not for my tummy though_pale_

Commiserations for the flu, but congrats for the trip to Ibiza!

i prefer the rows between front-middle than rather at back because i'm quite short-sighted .......whenever i go into cinemas i check whether the handrest can move up...just makes things more spacious......i like London Surrey Quays cinema because it does just that

i don't like those people who put their legs up! i mean when i was in my young teens i was inconsiderate but now it's like....eugh! i remember my bf and i went to this quite packed screening and we sat down then we looked at eachother and said....."can you smell that?" lolz then we looked behind us then i was like okay i've got perfume so we sprayed a bit then we were about to put our drink in the cup holder and we saw the woman that was sitting behind us bare foot! _pale_ no wonder it was so cheeeeeeeeesy! obviously we had to move!

Is it just me or have all the Other Boleyn Girl codes that originally said "for 26 Feb" vanished from the codes thread? The screening has been postponed to 3 March, but that doesn't make the codes and tickets invalid, so I was wondering why I can't see them anymore.

That's one of the reasons why I like to sit in the last row. No one can crash into your seat from behind, and there are a few cinemas where the last row has more legroom than all the other rows - why is a mystery to me.

They do seem to have disappeared I'm sure the thread was 2 pages long earlier on today, maybe it's been cleaned up a little too well

I've been worrying that I'm about to get a migraine as I had some strange visual 'flashes' this morning but thankfully I think I've managed to stave it off.
