Now parents panic about everything and leave children unsupervised at virtually no point - if they want to be thought of as good parents. So kids not seeing movies without a parent present is as much the fault of the parents as the movies. As far as I know from my own child's experience, kids still love movies and love going to them, but the social dynamic has changed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31147228.post-73739583000907190142009-10-12T23:32:27.370-07:002009-10-12T23:32:27.370-07:00Tom - Your post was thought provoking and i've...Tom - Your post was thought provoking and i've been needing to have thoughts provoked recently. ;-)<br /><br /><br />the last part of your 5 comments is the social component, and I didn't address it yet as i am not sure how i feel about it. on one hand, I love going to conventions and talking comics with people who know their shit, but then i reach a point and i want to get the hell away from some of the con idiots. why is that? why such a polarized reaction? not really sure to tell you the truth.inkdestroyedmybrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037083364689982443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31147228.post-82114338870820715382009-10-12T17:43:26.303-07:002009-10-12T17:43:26.303-07:00Thanks for the compliment of your attention, altho...Thanks for the compliment of your attention, although I have to admit, I have no problem with the sentence, "Whether or not there are movies for kids, I still want movies to function as a pastime for a child."<br /><br />In fact, I went to the movies a lot as a kid, and so did a lot of my friends. I don't know that my friend's kids ever go without their parents involved, so if I were a movie guy I might indeed muse over how that's changed.Tom Spurgeonhttp://www.comicsreporter.comnoreply@blogger.com
