Rio

It’s an ongoing dilemma for me where to sit in the cinema. I’m forever up against the tricky decision as to whether or not to sacrifice a good view of the screen for mental comfort by taking an aisle seat as, soon as I’m boxed in with a row of tightly packed viewers to either side of me having just got comfortable, taken their coats off and arranged their popcorn and drinks and settled down I will feel an immediate and unquestionable need to go to the bathroom. A recent experience of sitting through ‘Qui Etes Vous Polly Magoo’ and 2 1/2 hours of Q&A (it doesn’t matter how good the film is Q&A’s are always boring and another confirmation that a person’s creative genius doesn’t make them any less of a babbling idiot) whilst needing to pee 5 minutes in and without wanting to make 20 people stand up I decided it was preferable to sustain a bladder infection. Anyway the point of all this being that the seating arrangement at the Rio, (itself a lovely little independent cinema in the familiar old theatre style) is divided up the centre so you can have both an aisle seat and a middle view all at the same time.
