It’s funny, it make me very happy to hear that someone else feels this stress. I would give anything to be able to come in late. I’d miss the awful pre-show content and I see all of the trailers before hand anyway. But, the idea of having to sit up front or being that guy who sits next to you at the last minute just bothers me too much.

I don’t feel the community vibe (at least not for non-Star Wars films), but I do want a good seat. I want the sound to be even and the viewing to be at a proper angle. Sitting to the far side or up front, more often than not, kills the experience of the first viewing for me.
