when basic instinct came out, my wife and i decided to see it. we knew in advance it was going to be pretty raunchy in parts. at the theater that afternoon, there were two ladies who came in with kids under 5. they sat there allowing their kids to see all kinds of sex going on that huge screen, as well people being murdered with an ice pick. i wanted to yell at both of those idiots for allowing their kids to be subjected to clearly adult material.
my brother and i often catch a late show on saturday nights, usually 10:00 or later. it's stunning to see the amount of kids under the age of 10 who are at the theaters with their parents at that hour. babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers, second graders - they're often there seeing a late night showing of stuff they'll never understand or shouldn't see because mom & dad just had to see this movie and there weren't any sitters available. i don't get it.
