Why do parents bring small kids to rated R movies?

[saaltydog]

So after hearing about how good Forgetting Sarah Marshall is I decided to go and see it. Right before the movie started this fat husband and wife came and I couldn't believe that they brought their two little boys. One had to be no older then 6 and the other one couldnt have been older then 9 or 10. What the hell is wrong with people. I am not big on goverment regulations but why are they allowed to bring kids that young into a movie like that? Obviously they cannot make responsible decisions for their kids. It also happened when I went and saw Four Brothers. There should definetly be an age limit even if you are with an adult.

It really is none of your business what they let their kids see you know this right?

Some people can't afford babysitters or just prefer to be with their kids.



On another note....

I hate kids in movies theaters, they cry all the time and then get bored.

[joelz54_99]

They can't go in after 6 p.m.

Actually it is my business when their kids are talking and climbing all over their parents because they are bored of the movie. Also just because I am not the kids parents and they are doesn't make it right does it? Also if you can't afford a babysitter don't go to the ****ing movie. Wait until it comes out on dvd.

It's the parents choice, bottom line. Doesn't bother me as long as the kids are behaved in the theater.

Btw, Sarah Marshall sucked bigtime!

Thats not true. I went and saw the 9:30 showing.

[CerealKiller]

Nobody should have to see that guy naked.

[papi93]

They are too cheap to get a babysitter. You notice they are not too cheap to be obese though?

Well, you didn't say that in your first post. You were insulting the husband and wife over their weight and bitching in general how they brought their kids.

Yeah well I dont' think it should be the parents choice. There is no need for a 6 and 10 year old in a rated R movie. I think there should be laws against allowing anybody that young to go to a movie like that. It is obvious parents cannot make the right decision.

Then when you have kids don't take them in to see the movies, but don't tell me what to do with my kids or how to raise them.

Because that didn't bother me as much as them allowing their kids in there. I am more upset with the fact that they would allow their kids to watch something like that. They were kind of far away so them talking/climbing wasn't THAt much of an annoyance but I am sure it bothered the people they sat by.

im not sure about american law, but its illegal to show a kid an R rated movie here.


EDIT: Our R18+ is like your NC-17, except a lot more common.

I used to watch 18's when i was 5 or 6, which is the highest age rating here. Never did me much harm.

[saaltydog]

I don't want to tell you do to anything. I want the government to.

To hold the popcorn bucket.

Yeah I used to watch horror movies when I was younger. But movies have changed since then. Jason and Freddy movies arn't as bad as say House of 1000 corpses or the new Halloween. It is totally different.

So you are wanting to be able to to people how to raise their kids, and You are able to get bothered by what happens to other people?

I told you before I want the government to. There is absolutely no reason for a 6 and 10 year old to be in a movie like that.

[TheLasher]

As long as the kids stfu I don't give a ****

Cinemark does.

Well the movie I went to was a Loew's in the local mall.

They'll just buy the dvd. Kid's will see whatever parents deem worthy.

[MyLastSerenade]

Why rely on the government for everything? Just go up to the people next time and tell them what you think.

You think there are no such thing as unfit parents? Kids should watch porn and violent films? They should be running a muck undisciplined in a public place disturbing other people and have no respect for anyone?

You're gonna have some fucked up kids which are going to turn into fucked up people who will live in the same world as MY kids.

This is how it becomes my problem.

In England there are age restrictions for movies, PG, 12A (kids under 12 must be with an adult), 15 and 18 (both strict age limits). Way better system IMO.

What's so bad about that movie?

[choppedIT]

Big ****ing deal, some people don't have a problem with nudity. It's a romantic comedy, not like it's going to ruin their lives.

You are unaware my friend.

Let me guess. You don't want them to watch an R rated movie but they can play games where people kill. Granted it's simulated but so are movies. This movie isn't rated R.

So does that mean it's ok to see people getting murdered or killed in horrible ways but it's not ok to see a pair of tits? Lay it on the table. Tell us how it's suppose to be.
