Well, he was impregnating her then, and now she is filled with large red slugs that are about to burst out of her in a sea of blood and slime which will cause her a very painful death.” 😛 So…this is appropriate viewing for any age group? ---

I’ve just realised that I have hardly ever experienced issues with children making noise or running around or annoying teens on their mobs etc and I am a movie goer! This must be due to one of the following: 1. NZers have much better Movie Theatre ettiquette 2. I usually go to see movies at night 3. I usually see arthouse or slightly non-block buster type movies that teens and children and low socioeconomic families are not attracted to (generally speaking) 4. We have a lack of teenagers or children in Auckland 5. We have better parenting skills 6. I have very good luck 7. We have less additives and sugar in our movie theatre snacks 8. Movie theatre snacks cost too much so noone buys them for their kids Now some of these are patently not true - but which ones? ---
