Watership Down, on the other hand, is something you would REALLY regret showing to your little kids! :eek:

I'd like to add that I regret that kids went to see Turbo and Bolt because those unruly pests wouldn't shut the Smurf up!

I've said it multiple times, if we're going to mollycoddle kids, then rent videos and wait for them to be mature enough to know that they should be as silent at a movie as possible. If they need to run around the aisles and restate the obvious and repeat jokes just as they're said, they're obviously NOT READY to see a film in public.

*At the meeting...

Hi, I admit to being an MST3K fan... And I also admit to having a habit of repeating back what I'm listening while watching TV/film, though I do try to do it more quietly to myself. But take me to the movies and I'm one of those people you don't want to be with. Heck, I sang with the songs during The Muppets because I'd been listening to MCR memorizing the new songs at the time, *admits that might happen again next year with MMW.

*Sits back down, zonks out like :cool:.
They all fall down... All fall down... zzzzz...

That's not too bad. I mean, just loudly saying everything the characters just said (I should have known there was something bad going down... kid talked during the opening commercials too). That is, when I saw Turbo. Seeing Bolt was an experiance. The kid kept hitting me in the back of the head and running up and down the aisles. I should have scolded the woman as soon as the film finished. POOR parenting right there.

Of course, there was the little girl at Despicable Me 2 that went "BEEDO BEEDO" after the character did, but not enough to distract. it was kinda cute.

Well, keep in mind that if I'm going to the movies I have to go with someone else to act as describer if something happens that I don't understand on the screen. That, or me and my friend are sometimes quibbling over the little oopses that the film got wrong during the moment. My current cinematic watchlist includes Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug, Muppets Most Wanted, Maleficent, and then Hobbit 3: There and Back Again.

See, I knew they don't really have headphones for blind people to wear that describes everything that happens as it happens. Where did ARTHUR ever get the idea that they do?
