After work last Sunday, I decided to go see a movie: Hostel. It was one that I was really curious about. More people were there to see that movie that day, then I would have expected. The movie itself, with the exception of one scene, didn't bother me at all. In fact, I thought it was fairly average. The thing that disturbed me the most, was that a couple of people decided to bring CHILDREN to this movie with them. I'm talking ages between 2 and 6. For certain R-rated, I wouldn't have minded. But you don't bring a child to see movie like Hostel. Hostel was already pushing the rating boundary. They had to cut stuff out to keep it from being NC-17. Not just the sex and nudity, but the torture and dismemberment as well. It's a brutal movie to watch. As I said, you don't bring a child to see movie like this. They aren't going to understand, and it's going to scare the hell out of them. It's gory, it's violent, and it's depraved. They even had the kids sit in the FRONT ROW SEATS. I don't have kids of my own. But I would rather shoot myself than to take a child to see a horror movie. This is an example of really, really, bad parenting. Those kids are probably going to be disturbed later in life. After the movie, I talked to the ticketmaster about it. She agreed with me, but apparently, the parents of those kids, were getting pissed. If I was the ticketmaster, I would have told them to go get their money back. I don't mind movies like Hostel being made, since there are people out there, like me, who enjoy them. But bringing a child to something like this just pisses me off to no end. I enjoyed the movie, but the whole situation with those kids never left my mind. It still bothers me.
