I am trying to decide whether to go see Ford v Ferrari or Knives Out while I'm up in New Braunfels Texas for the weekend. Which one has better reviews?

They both have great reviews, actually. I guess it depends on if you are in the mood for a comedy murder mystery or a fact based story about racing LeMans and being Carrol Shelby. They both sound great.

No problem. I'm on it. What theater would you like to see the movie at?
user
Well, New Braunfels has a few nice theaters now. I think maybe the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. They serve dinner there as well, and that would be convenient.

Of course they wouldn't have any seats available the night I want to go. It's not even Tuesday yet! How did they book up so fast?
assistant
I guess it must be a great movie, or else there aren't that many showings of it being held now, so everyone is trying to get in while they can still see it in the big screen.
user
True. Also there's not a whole lot to do in New Braunfels, so I guess the movies would fill up fast. What about Knives Out?

Great. That looks like it'll be funny, and we could use a relaxing night pout with a good laugh. Go ahead and book them.
assistant
I'm on it. Where do you want to sit in the theater?
user
Put us near the aisle please. Not at the very end seats, but at least two seats in. Just closer to the aisle than the center of the row. Also, I would like to sit near the back of the theater if the seats are raised and recliner style.
