Kids and LOTR (was Wow. Just....wow)

[Rachel Bray]

You know...we discussed this last night afterwards....

I've decided if I had a younger child, I don't think I'd 
take them.  There were some scenes that scared ME and I 
KNEW what was about to happen.  Some scenes are really 
intense.  The orcs are VERY alarming and the Balrog is BOOO-
scary.  (Gollum was adorable, though.)

But then again, it depends on the child, I guess.  If 
monsters don't scare them easily, take them.  If they are 
spooked by "things that go bump in the night", then, no, 
perhaps they shouldn't see this movie.

Adult Ralphie: Meanwhile, I struggled for exactly the 
right BB gun hint. It had to be firm, but subtle.

Young Ralphie: Flick says he saw some grizzly bears 
near Polaski's candy store!

Adult Ralphie: They looked at me as if I had lobsters 
crawling out of my ears. I could tell I was in imminent 
danger of overplaying my hand.
