Also, what about crying kids in movie theaters?  Is there an age under which children shouldn't be allowed?

I understand it's hard for new parents to ever leave the house sometimes and that always finding a babysitter is cost prohibitive or not an option.  Still, I question bringing kids under a certain age (I don't know, under 3 or 4?) to the theater to begin with.

I mean, come on, they really DON'T know what's going on.  If the movie is Teletubbies 5, I get it.  But even if it's say, Shrek, I'm not sure I do get it.

I'm flexible on the age thing, as someone might be able to convince me that a 3 year old *can* appreciate it.  But you'll have a hard convincing me that a 2 year old needs to see any movies in a public theater.  Which reminds me, someone brought a baby to a 9pm showing of Texas Chainsaw Massacre once (the remake with the sexy Jessica Biel).
