I saw The King's Speech today. It was excellent.

Colin Firth has this marvellous ability to angst silently at the camera until you're simply aching for him to get whatever it is he's wishing for. One minute in, he hadn't said a word, but I was already wanting to offer him chocolate, a puppy, and just about anything else that would make him feel better...

I saw it at Crown Casino Gold Class, with the boyfriend. (For out-of-towners: Crown Casino is very flashy, as well as being rather maze-like. Gold Class is the really expensive version of going to the movies, where they give you reclining seats and serve you food during the movie. Quite fun.)

they give you reclining seats and serve you food during the movie.

Wouldn't you spill most of it,then? Or do they make an announcement? ("We will shortly be serving drinks and light refreshments; please return your seatbacks to the upright position.")

There's a little table attached to your recliner where your food rests when you're not eating it, so there's no spillage.

Personally, I think the best part of the experience is that you can tell the servers exactly when in the movie you want your food brought in. Never again will you be at the end of your drink halfway through the movie with half a box of popcorn, dying of thirst!
