In A Movie Theather With Kids

[MJK]

Hi!

I would like to hear Your comments:

Yesterday I went to a movies with my children, 7-and 9-years old. We went to see Walt Disney's Bed time stories.

Before the movie started, they showed trailers from 3 or 4 different horror or VERY violent movies were people vere killing eachothers and there were a lots of blood.

My kids were ofcourse scared and didn't know where to look!

In Europe this would never happen in a family movies, it is not overprotecting that kids are not allowed to look movies like that.

Next time we better stay outside before the movie starts as I saw some other Western familie doing!

Have complained about this for years to the management, and so far no response to my complaints.

They absolutely do not care about our kids watching movies at their theatres, it is all about the money we as parents pay up.

I stay outside until the Kings tribute is done. (not being disrespecting)

I come in 15 minutes later, just before King's tribute.

That may be cinema management's response - do not watch their standard advertising if with children.

(not that I would ever watch it, kids or no kids)

Yes, this would never happen in Europe. I have complained so many times but just get shy giggles in return. In one particular instance,whilst waiting for an animation movie to begin with my 7 year old son, they showed a trailer for a Thai horror movie where a toddler literally put his arm in a blender and the blender was then turned on! My kid was freaking out hiding behind me...I did happen to notice the little Thai boy and girl sitting next to us (approx same age as mine) who were calmly munching on popcorn,not at all fazed by the extreme violence on the screen. It really is best to wait outside until the movie begins....
