I have two kids, I have a high tolerance for it. And I expect some disruption going to the theatre--its part of the experience. I like the crowd's reactions and I love it when somone's cell phone rings and some other guy swears at them for it.It was the fact that this poor kid, who has no choice in the matter, was dragged to this clearly age-unappropriate movie and expected to sit through it. Yeah that kids gonna see a lot worse over the years. But right now, she doesn't have a choice. Not even during the torture scenes did the parents admit their mistake and remove the kid from the theatre. I kept thinking of my own child and just how wrong that would be.And I do want to comment on sneaking food and drink into a theatre. I'm all for it. Its part of the magic of movies. I once smuggled six cans of soda in big jacket. My dad once snuck in a Big Mac and smiled when someone smelled it out. In college one of my friends accidently knocked over an empty beer bottle during a quiet tense moment in Stargate and the damn thing rolled all the way down the sloped floor to the front of the theatre.Great stuff. I love the movies. But there are some savages out there that need a taste of the Gom Jabbar to see if they are human.</blockquote>
