Let me start by saying I love the Music Box, I’m a member, but I’m also absolutely confounded by their seating. It’s truly the worst seating in any movie house. I hear the “it’s an old movie theater” response, but they just renovated and didn’t use it as an opportunity to even stagger the seating so you’re not staring at the back of someone’s head if you are unlucky enough to have someone sit in the seat in front of you. Going to a movie with subtitles is an impossible experience.

Raise the screen? Stagger the seats? I love this institution and as a member I’m excited about the films, but I’m genuinely curious as to how this wasn’t addressed during the recent renovation. Okay I’ll stop. Go support your local cinema and maybe tell the music box to fix the dang seats too… I’m off now to complain about some loud music coming from a child’s birthday party.
