    Anyone can come in with an adult. They have to be 17 to buy a ticket and attend alone.

    We may have had a thread on this, but I've been appalled when people have brought toddlers and other youngsters to violent, sex-filled movies.

    I can imagine trying to explain to an 8-year-old why a teddy bear is smoking marijuana and dropping F-bombs.

    This could be its very own, HOF-worthy #SJParenting thread.

    I mentioned this before on another thread, but the worst example I saw was when I was walking out after watching "The Expendables" (the first one), and a couple coming up the aisle with a daughter who couldn't have been any older than 9.

    When I watch the Avengers, Ultron, I was actually forced to move my seat because of idiots around me. A Dad brought his kid in and for some reason decided to sit next to me in the middle of the movie. The kid was about three and it turned into a running fucking dialogue of why Hulk an Ironman are fighting and who was the girl. I'm fine with that going on in the back row but I sit front and center. Idiot number two was the mom decided to check Facebook for about a half hour on her ultrabright HTC extra size about two rows in front of me.

    This is nowhere near as bad as reacher's tory but it shows some piss poor etiquette in a movie theater

    Spy yesterday. That movie is a lot of fun. I'm starting to believe that Melissa McCarthy is one of the most fearless actresses going.

    I thought it was terrible and do not understand the glowing reviews. I'm just glad I saw it for free a month before it was released.

    I have been to movie theaters where no one is allowed into an R-rated movie who is under 17 past 8 p.m.

    My parents didn't take me to an R-rated movie ever. The first R-rated movie I saw in theaters, I was already 17. I do remember cringing through a showing of the Ray Charles biopic with Jamie Foxx. The parent in front of me brought his small child (had to have been under 5) and had to explain what all of the drug and sex references were in it. During the movie.

    It could've been a mistake on their part. Not really knowing much about the movie and going with, "Oh good. A story about a magical talking bear and his best friend..."

    Nolan overdoes almost every movie he touches. This was no exception.

    Nolan thinks he gives you this...
