We’ve never taken my son to anything but a G movie, but he is wont to sneak down the stairs and watch age inappropriate stuff in secret before we realize he is in the room. Therefore, he wants to be a scientist when he grows up, just like the ones who cut open bodies on CSI. Imagine the future therapy he will need, as he was only 4 when he saw that.

@ SmudgeNOT

1) Birds is worse, because YOU had to endure it. Quantum was worse for me, and Front for Scott.
2) Legal action, no. Revenge, yes. Best served cold…and avian. (Think, chilled flu virus.)

well, MY mommy took me at nine to see The Birds.

when the scene of the children being attacked in the schoolyard began, i asked if we could leave.

“nope,” i was told, “this is the best part.”

so, Guncle: 1) which is worse? Quantum, Front or Birds?; and 2) do i have grounds for legal action against my 83-year-old mama??

I remember when Grandma Bobbie took seven-year-old me to see “The Front” instead of “Fantasia” because, as she said, “Who wants to see all that butterfly and Bambi stuff anyway?” I remember telling her that everyone in the theater will think that her husband (me) must be a midget. That pales in comparison to a baby screaming in the middle of a Bond movie, but the 70’s were a gentler era.
