recalcitranttoySo last night, I was dragged kicking and screaming to see Stardust. It's not really kicking and screaming, since I really do like to see movies, it just sounds so much more "drama queen" like :-). So ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
badmagic took us off to the cinema, where we found some decent seats and proceeded to watch a very "awww, that's SO romantic" movie. I'm a sucker for fantasy movies in general, and this one was all that and a bag of chips, with the added strangeness of seeing Michelle Pfieffer never looking quite so horrible, and Robert De Niro with a hilarious performance as Captain Shakespeare with feather boa.
I do have a question, however.... what could possibly be in the minds of people who bring babies and very young children to a 10:50 showing of a movie? And why should people around said noisemakers have to be the ones to tell them to shuddup? No, you can't always find a babysitter, but in those cases, why inflict your misery on everyone else? Those few times when I took Recalcitrant Child to movies, it was during a matinee generally of some Disney type movie where ALL the kids were making noise, not to movies that don't let out til 1 am, expecting my already likely tired and cranky child to stay quiet.
