I realize this is mostly for me, 10% for my pals (goodness, they love me if they are taking the time...) and then perhaps a few of you are just a little lost in the www. Whatever category you fall under, welcome!
i am a neophyte in this land of technology, but we're giving this a whirl.
My thought for today is: Babies in movie theaters. Period. Let alone movies that get out a 3am. WTF? i mean, they are usually sleeping, but why? why are they not in comfy cribs & beds? why am i tripping over a stroller as my popcorn & i slouch in a comfy seat? i kinda think these people should be offered birthcontrol & a pamphlet on The First 5, 'cause the movie theater is not the place to bring your babies. And i'm not talking about a sweet Merchant-Ivory-type fare, no, no, no. We're talking violent, shoot-'em-up drivel. I'm sure that the subconscious sponge of a six month old is the perfect forum for dolby surround sound of machine guns & nuclear bombs. Meh, meh, meh!

Loved your first post..... I want more!! Plus, I TOTALLY agree with you, just last week I went to see Hostel II and I couldn't believe how many kids were watching the same movie :0
It is time for us to do something.... So lets get together for beers.. I'm sure will come up with some good strategies. ha ha ha
Heart you too!

Well, since I was privy to the baby wrapped oh, so tightly in cheap synthetics, I feel I owe a thought or two.
As a mom and generally sensible human, I was simply appalled and horrified. Hello, anyone heard of a babysitter? And really, what is the point of bringing your young one to a movie so violent and LONG, regardless of its nostalgia? Isn't this yet another means for us to teach our mini-mes violence as a solution?? They do remember, starting from 6 months, so it's no excuse. It's just irresponsible and gross.
hey, easy there. i never said i liked the 3rd pirates. i was cranky when i saw it, and kinda asleep, but i'm pretty sure i thought it was way over-the-top & unncessarily confusing. There was really a 50-foot women at one point on the boat, right?
No, the latest theater escapades involved Transformers (AND NO THEME SONG! I swear, NO "more than meets the eye" to be heard. sacrilege! A blight on you, Mr. Michael Bay.). And believe you me, i love Optimum Prime as much as the next six-year-old boy in 1984, but he couldn't save this 2.5 hour American-car commercial. That had not one polyester-clad babe, but TWO. mama-mia
My entire reason for seeing Transformers was to hear the song! BAH! Or based on your information I can also attend in leiu of a visit to the maternity ward. Nice blog peep!
