Mine was a matinee on a weekday (had the day off, thankfully), so it was me and the other work-duckers, all adult.the sobsisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01698958505635001514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37240493.post-52217065378116023172013-01-22T08:14:45.312-05:002013-01-22T08:14:45.312-05:00We went to see it yesterday.

My 12-year-old (who has read the book, so really wanted to see it) said she covered her eyes for the gorier battle scenes--and also for the trailer for "Spartacus: War of the Damned" which was so gory that it even turned my stomach, and that's unusual for me. Also it was interesting to hear the dad behind me explaining to his 7(?) year old that Spartacus must be about the barbarians fighting against Rome. It took a lot of self-control not to turn around and set him right on that one.<br /><br />Speaking of 7-year-olds, there was that kid ("Why did that happen? What is that?") all through the film, and then also behind us was a family with two kids under 6. They were VERY unhappy about having to see it, and I think their parents finally took them out. Who brings an under-6 kid to see a PG-13 movie? <br /><br />Anyway, end rant. Good to see you're still out there raising the average IQ of the net.Uncle Royhttp://user.adme.in/blog/browse/u/uncleroynoreply@blogger.com
