Why do parents bring small kids to rated R movies?

Well even before 6 it is still the same movie. That really doesn't solve the problem.

It does solve the problem. If OP doesn't want to watch the movie with kids climbing on people, he could go see it at one of those theaters.

I am the OP and it really wasn't about the kids talking/climbing it was more about the content of the movie that the kids were brought to

Oh, I see. You're trying to control what other people do even when it doesn't affect you.

Yeah I do believe that bad parents should be controlled dont' you?

Yeah I do believe that bad parents should be controlled dont' you?

And you think banning kids from movie theaters will control bad parents?

Nope but do you think making it illegal to hit your kids will control bad parents? Why make something legal that should be illegal even if it won't fix the problem.

Cinemark does.

I thought it was after 10:00 pm. 6:00 pm is really early. Probably varies some based on theatre.

Yeah, I'm sure they hit their kids too if they take them to a comedy.

I thought your thread was about people being annoying in theaters, and I was all ready to agree with that and rant about it. But I don't think I could ever see eye-to-eye with you on this one, so I'm out.

Did I say they hit their kids too? We were talking about bad parents and laws not stopping them.

I saw the south park movie when I was like 10. I turned out fine.

I was a little kid when my mom took me to see Robocop, and to this day its my favorite movie ever. Just sayin

When I was a little kid I wanted to be a police officer. My dad let me watch Robocop. I saw officer Murphy get shot about 13 times. I changed my mind about being a cop. Just sayin

So because you watched southpark when you were 10 it makes it ok for parents let their kids watch anything and everything?

I grew up watching violent movies and disgusting comedies, not kids films. I've never went nuts or anything. I've coped with the world better. But then again, I had wonderful parents. Am I saying that every kid should watch R movies? No, some kids have bad parents. I don't think there should be any more restrictions for kids at the theater - this country is bad enough as it is on restrictions. But I agree that there are a lot of unpunished, out-of-control kids at the theaters these days, and I believe because of so much of these types of kids nowadays that there should be an extra price bringing such annoyances to an adult atmosphere. So if you bring kids to a R-movie = dish out more $$$ for my inconveniance. If you don't want to pay the extra money, then save it for a babysitter if you can't control your kid.
