THE MIDDLE SEAT: “FURRY NOSTALGIA”
I am about to risk sounding like an old man tearing into the new generation for forgetting all the great things about the last generation.
The Middle Seat
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “SIZE MATTERS”
Between my wife and I, screen size is a huge chasm of passion and indifference. I simply cannot watch a movie unless it is on a large screen.
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “BEEN THERE, SEEN THAT”
Let’s talk this week about something that every single movie-goer experiences – artistic hijacked redundancy.
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “TRAILER TRASH”
I have been endlessly fooled by movie trailers to frequent films that ultimately were nowhere near as good as the trailers suggested. Has this ever happened to you?
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “CINEMATIC LITMUS TEST”
My initial thought is, we come up with a basic questionnaire, designed by people who enjoy and understand the art of cinema, and anyone who fails it gets put on the list.
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “SCHWARZENEGGER OR SONY CLASSICS”
In my humble opinion, there are certain people who don’t “get” movies, and thus should not be allowed to view movies at all.
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “LET’S NOT GO TO THE LOBBY”
It is time. In a column about the “movie-going experience” we have to address food.
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “WHAT DO YOU HAVE A TASTE FOR?”
From the dawn of silent films, humans have had to navigate the treacherous social waters of yet another group entertainment decision
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “PLEASE TURN OFF ALL DISTRACTIONS”
To everyone everywhere who ever goes to a movie theatre I politely remind you to SHUT UP!
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “WHERE YOU WANNA SIT?”
I need to see the movie straight on. And that’s not just at the theatre. I will go for any seat in any living room that gives me the most centered view of a movie.
