hm. well, i'm glad for no running commentary, since that woul've been unpopular with everyone else in the theater. more than anything, i hope the movie was a subject of discussion after the family left the theater. i don't think everything needs to be filtered in realtime, as long as an analysis is forced to occur and parents take the time to properly align the perception of their child, it can be done after the fact. still, 8? doesn't give me a comfortable feeling.
