My Inner World

So, I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean yesterday afternoon. I had not seen the first one so did not really know what to expect. I really enjoyed it! It was funny, had a nice pace to it and the special effects were well done.
The one thing I didn't like, just like when I went to see Harry Potter, was the amount of kids there.
The movie is rather 12A. Which means that you have to be at least 12 years old to see it, or be accompanied by an adult.

THERE WERE KIDS THERE AS YOUNG AS THREE YEARS OLD!!!

The poor little tikes! There are some scenes in the movie that would be profoundly disturbing for children so young. A little girl in the corner started crying when Davey Jones' pirates came on to the screen, but do you think her parents shifted? Nope!
The family next to me had a little cop on at least and left with their three kids. (Still too late in my opinion but at least they did)
When the lights went on, and everybody got up, I saw a father with a littlie boy asleep on his shoulder. The boy can't have been a day over three years old.

What are these people thinking? I remember my foster brother letting us see Gremlins when he was meant to be minding us. I was about 9 or 10 years old and I was terrified for weeks! I would not let my mam turn of my lights at bed-time and could "hear" things under my bed every night.

I say to Hell with Parental guidance. If you are not the stated age. You should not get in. Parents or not. If parents do not have the brains to think, then someone has to keep the children's best interest in mind. My heart broke for those kids. Crying, or worse, not saying anything but whimpering softly because they did not want to upset their parents.
What is wrong with these people? If you can't get a child-minder: WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT ON FLIPPING DVD!

Poor, poor kids.
