I honestly believe that there should be no children under age 4 in a theater ESPECIALLY an R rated film. Age 5 to 13 should not be allowed into R rated films at all either, whether or not the parents are with them.
I doubt the person(s) mentioned in the article will ever read it however, if they can read at all. |

Agreed that it takes a sick f*ck to bring a child to any horror movie or violent movie for that matter (Two 6-8 year old boys were in front of me at 300), but the parent is responsible for, well, parenting. As long as accompanied by an adult, a child under 17 can see a rated R movie in the states. I find nothing wrong with this. It is the government's job to limit what your children do when those children are in the direct supervision of their parent/guardian. Now if they are in a public place, aka a school, without parental supervision, then it's the government's job to censor. The government shouldn´t have **** to say about how people raise their kids. If you, or i, or anybody else disagree´s with it, that´s our/their problem, not that of the parents. |

I just can't stand when a bunch of 12 year olds come into an R rated movie and talk. It got so bad one day that a cop walked in and told them to all STFU, then apparently he recognized one of the little @!($*! and after that he let them talk on their cell phones, take pictures, whatever. The rest of the theater all got up and left after telling the kids to shut it, and I ripped the manager a new one over the whole deal.
If there's two things I can't stand its kids who cry at theaters, and at restaurants. If I started going "WAHHHHHHHH!!! WAHHHHHH" in a restaurent people would tell me to STFU. I don't care if they are children, parenting means that if they're too young to understand english get a babysitter, if they can understand what you say and don't listen then you suck as a parent. A good parent will let their child know when crying will be tolerated, and when they're going to be in deep if they don't stop. Parenting requires a firm hand and an understanding between the child and the parent. Unforunately this usually requires that you spend time with the child and show them love and affection in order to create this kind of bond... so obviously forget this because it cuts into your personal time. Lazy spineless parents shouldn't breed. |

I thought the whole idea of a rating on a movie was that you could NOT go into the cinema to see it unless you were (or exceeded) the age of the rating?
![]() Thats how it works in the UK, and AFAIK here in Holland too. Its a "guidance" on DVDs etc that are watched at home (obviously), but enforced at the cinema. |

If you're not a parent, then it's best you don't try and describe what they should do. I'm 25 and I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 11 month old baby. There's a reason they cry when in public and guess what? Sometimes you can't get them to stop or it might take a while to calm them down. I try to control my kids when in public to keep them tame, but you can't control them totally. It might get out of hand sometimes, but since they're in public places, you can't do squat about it. Don't talk about things you haven't experienced. |

Well, the problem is then have all those ****ed up people on the streets. So, kids under a certain age just shouldnt be allowed to see the movie (just like it is here), even with a parent watching it with them. (Stichwort: Aufsichtspflicht bzw Übertragene Aufsichtspflicht) ![]() |

Well, I know for sure that in our Cinemaxx here a 10 year old wouldnt be allowed to watch Hostle even if his father would be the freakin mayor. And thats good. To be honest I wouldnt even want minors in any action movie rated FSK16. I remember when I was 14 we wanted to sneak in and watch Speed, but they wouldnt let us. Today the average 14 year old has seen more violence than a US marine.

I understand that sometimes your child is going to cry when you're at a restaurant or some other public place. I don't have a problem with people like this as long as they at least attempt to calm them down. Now, it's the parents that allow their children to run around in restaurants that REALLY piss me off. I was never allowed to do such a thing when I was a child. I remember this 4 or 5 year old running up to my table when I was dining out in a rather nice restaurant. The child began running around and even UNDERNEATH my table; so, I turned and told her to "run along". The child began to cry, and her parents got mad at me! How in the world can you be angry with me because your little sh*t was running around disturbing my dining experience, and you didn't do a god damn thing to prevent it? It's almost as if children these days control their parents lives.
And as for the whole cinema thing, I don't understand the "accompanied by a parent" business. My parents would never take me into an R rated movie, even when I was 16! Those ratings are there for a reason people. |

Don't talk about things you haven't experienced. This letter is for you buddy! I understand kids might start crying and stuff, it’s the responsibility of the parent to be a decent person and excuse themselves until the child calms down, they go home, or the kid reaches the age of like 6 or 7. This is what my family did with me (granted I was a good kid and they didn’t have to do it too often) and it’s totally what I would do if I had kids. Having kids is pretty much giving up your freedom for at least six or seven years! |
