Accessible moviegoing is a huge problem here in L.A. especially with so many historical theaters. Fatphobic seats that haven't been updated since the 1970s are a problem and requiring people to stand in line for 2 hours to get a seat for special events is exclusionary to many disabled people!

Is the only seats for wheelchair bound people were the front row—the steps ascended to the good seats. My neck was broken from watching movies with her. Unfortunate indeed.
