I punch in at just over 5' 7" and I always feel like airplane seats are trying to push my chin into my sternum, so no. Not comfortable. Hideously uncomfortable.
I'm 5'8" if I stand up straight, and I can't stand those movie seats/airplane seats.
Hate those seats. Hate hate hate.
I often sit indian style (my feet tend to not reach the floor anyway) and lean forward, resting elbows on knees.
The seats work ok for me, until they get just a little old and the springs stop functioning correctly, then they quickly become horribly uncomfortable. The thing I can't stand about movie theaters is that no one seems to pay attention to the sound levels. When the audience is sparse, they need to be reduced in order not to blow your ears out, but few theaters pay any attention to it.

At FU, the Spring calendar is fixed by MLK day. We always start the day after. Fall, however, is a different story altogether. It appears to be fixed by where Thanksgiving falls, except in even years divisible by 6 or if a full moon falls on the third day of the semester...

I'm shrimpy and I hate those seats, for precisely the "bug" reason--I always think, "ick, someone else's head was just there..."
Which is weird, b/c I'm not phobic about things like public toilets. But somehow the head thing, ick.
Yes, shrimpy, yes hate hate hate. And there's the added insult that before they, um, innovated those seats, the only seat I knew like that was an old boyfriend's couch -- the boyfriend my mother insisted on calling "The Unsuitable Young Man" instead of his name, even to his face.
