WTF Is Wrong With People?
I found this news article while surfing today: first-grader wrecks car with dad at his side.
‹rant›What the hell is wrong with people? I drives me crazy the way I see people exercising no control over the screaming, obnoxious, self-centered brats. I must admit I'm not a big fan of children (gasp!), but it seems to me that people are not bothering to raise their children at all. You are the parent. You are supposed to teach your children to behave in public and to respect people around them. Is it any wonder that the world seems to be heading for hell in a handbasket? If I would have behaved the way that I see lots of kids behaving when I was their age, I would have been in big trouble, believe you me. I am definitely not for being a total dictator to your kids, but they do have to have some discipline. And for all parents that bring their children into R-rated movies - quit doing it! I cannot remember the last movie that I've seen in the past three years that didn't have a small child or baby in it. Please, show the people around you some common courtesy.‹/rant ›

This is one of the reasons why we wait for the DVD, as opposed to paying $8-$9 for a movie.
I love Harry Potter...read all the books. But no way in hell was I going to see the movie in the theater, as I imagine the hell it would be.
But the point is...even if it IS a kid's movie...that is still no excuse for kids to make noise and run rampant through the theater.
And any parent who brings small children into R-rated movies should be taken out and shot. Period.

As for Harry Potter though, I am really glad we saw that in the theater. All of the kids were great, but it was the afternoon it came out and there were a ton of adults there because the kids were still in class. Except mine, since I took him out of school early...

I love seeing some kid's movies (Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Harry Potter, etc.), but most of the time the desire to have a nice movie-going experience causes me to just catch it on video.

What happened to common sense and good manners? To being helpful to others? It's unbelievable. I could go on like this for hours. I won't. Plus, you pretty much covered it. :)
