That's a weird rear end curry but I guess there's nothing in the rulebook against putting silver in.

A friend and I took my nephew and her kid to see The Lego Batman Movie. Great film, but the best bit was at the end when both kids shouted "NO!" when it looks like Batman will have to return to the Phantom Zone. I miss getting quite that involved in a film. felch me daddy jr. posted:Is it just me or does the first rule ban popcorn?

Not being able to afford a babysitter shouldn't keep parents from having a night out  They should either have a soundproof room in the back of the theater where you can still see the movie without your fussy kid disturbing other patrons or special screenings for parents with kids E: VVV  VVV

You're lovely if you get angry over a kid getting excited about seeing their favorite superhero kick rear end. Conversely, you're also lovely if you bring your toddler to a late night showing of Jurassic Park 3D and they spend a significant portion of the film crying because they're scared and overtired. This isn't complicated.

Great film, but the best bit was at the end when both kids shouted "NO!" when it looks like Batman will have to return to the Phantom Zone. I miss getting quite that involved in a film. It's always so adorable to see kids getting really into the movies they're watching. Last year when the theater near me was showing The Princess Bride for its anniversary, I was seated next to a mother and her daughter. The scene during the climax when Inigo gets stabbed, the theater was so quiet you could hear a pin drop--except for the little girl, who let out a shocked and concerned gasp. Moments like that are what makes going to a theater to see a movie worth it.

Friends wife is a teacher and she's into this stuff. She gave me like... "ginger juice" she got the recipe from her sister who is really skilled with the natural remedy stuff. Served in a shot glass. Tasted fine. So I took another and she yanked away the bottle because she said I might overdose on ginger because it's so powerful. I looked at the recipe Ginger juice concentrate Honey Lemon juice I told my friend later that the ginger healing potion was some hocus pocus crap. He responded that his wife is a chemistry teacher so she knows more about this stuff than me. I conceded the point and refrained from pointing out that she's a 4th grade chemistry teacher and the most advanced chemistry she's done is turn chocolate powder and milk into chocolate milk. His wife is the oddest topic between us because since she's a teacher that automatically means she's a genius in his world. He takes everything she says for granted but at the same time she's in her 60's and believe everything she reads on facebook and he keeps retelling the stuff she shares with him Which is fine for simple stuff like ginger healing potions. But then she goes "You know Islam requires its members to strike down every non-Muslim they encounter? They have to do that or they can't be Muslim" At which point the record skips I can't just go keep nodding along in bored resignation. Katt has a new favorite as of 20:30 on Apr 19, 2019 |

I was so loving scared. I also cried during the live action Casper because her father becomes a ghost and that was scary, and during Pocahontas because at that point I was terrified of movie theaters. Basically, I was that child I hate. e: I loved the Lion King though, so who knows.

I'm pretty sure no one here is getting mad at kids enjoying movies. It's cool to see a kid enjoy and get involved in a movie. It is not cool to have a kid cry, loudly talk, get up and wander around, or kick chairs. This should be obvious, but well.... No one is saying don't bring kids to Endgame because it is a super serious movie. Just that no one wants to pay $15 a ticket to have a lovely parent having their screaming kid sit next to them. enigmahfc has a new favorite as of 21:01 on Apr 19, 2019 |

Mak0rz posted:You're lovely if you get angry over a kid getting excited about seeing their favorite superhero kick rear end. This is basically how I feel. If you're taking your kid to a movie, it should be a movie the kid would like to see. If I'm going to the theaters to see a superhero movie or a Pixar movie, I expect kids to be there, and I don't mind it when they get excited or ask their parents questions - if anything, it makes the whole experience more fun and nostalgic. But a kid is not gonna enjoy the 10:00 showtime of The Conjuring. You're keeping them up past their bedtime and letting them get scared and overwhelmed by loud noises, just because you didn't wanna wait 2 months for it to hit Redbox. Pththya-lyi posted:Not being able to afford a babysitter shouldn't keep parents from having a night out I dunno how popular it is, but my local theater usually has dedicated child/toddler-friendly showings in the afternoons. They keep the lights up a little bit, and everyone expects the audience to be a little noisy or for people to have to step out. Sometimes they'll also have autism/sensory disorder-friendly showings where everything's not as loud and bright. ghost emoji has a new favorite as of 21:06 on Apr 19, 2019 |

When I was a kid I was terrified of volcanoes and there was a nonzero amount of volcano movies like Volcano and Dante's Peak in the mid 90s. I was fine sitting through the movies themselves but while you can control what movie you take a kid to and make sure it's one that they're interested in, you can't control what previews they show beforehand, so other audience members had to deal with my mom leaving the theatre momentarily when the previews ended to come get my rear end waiting outside the theatre to make sure I wouldn't see a terrifying preview for a goddamn volcano movie. Oh no, what a burden for my fellow moviegoers.

Just don't do like the worst parent I have ever seen and take your small kids to Pan's Labyrinth. Oh, you think they realized their mistake and left once they saw it was loving subtitled and also not at all for kids? AHAHAHA NO! Those two kids white-knuckled the most of the way through a movie I'm not sure they could both understand. When did they leave? After the first torture scene? Ohhhh, no, not at all! They didn't leave until Vidal was sewing up his loving face and then drinking booze which visibly seeped through the hole! And I think that's just because the youngest was just sobbing brokenly and unceasingly. The older one was trembling and staring.

Introduce them to both magical realism and the Spanish civil war as early as possible imo If you’re not reading a hundred years of solitude to them at bedtime CPS should take your kids away
