I don’t get that part at all. If I were on a date, the guy would be driving. Unless it was a first date and I really wasn’t sure about the guy, and then I would have to meet him there. (Or if it was someone I’d been dating I might have to meet him there because of scheduling problems.) But I wouldn’t be driving…

Unfortunately, you can only do this once. You’d have to find another theater after that.

I haven’t watched this show in ages, so I don’t know what happened. Maybe someone will explain later.

I didn’t even have a school ID back then, and I didn’t drive till I was nineteen. I got a job at a theater soon after that, and most everyone was younger than me and had waivers that said they were allowed to watch the R rated stuff. If it were a law, you can’t sign a waiver to let your kid do something illegal, so…

Ooops. This is what I get for trying to have multiple conversations and do other things at the same time, I forget who I’m talking to. Apologies.

Okay, we don’t have those laws here. I have no idea how it is other places. I wasn’t referring to other places. You might start with the Australia bit next time.

That just it, it isn’t illegal. Not letting kids in a theater to see an R rated movie without their parents is a self imposed restriction. No one gets arrested. And it is just for the theater. If it is in your home, that is your business, no one is coming to get you because there is an R-rated movie on the internet…

TV is in a home. There’s no one taking tickets in your home. It’s up to you to control the TV set and whoever is watching whatever. And cable especially gets away with everything because if you didn’t want it in your home at all you don’t have to buy it. So you can but whatever rating you want on Game of Thrones to…

No, there are actual laws against selling alcohol to minors. That’s different. I still think a lot of people get away with it.

Illegal is too strong a word. Growing up, I thought it was illegal, that if you got caught going in you’d be lucky if the theater called your parents instead of the police. I never tried it. I worried about it a bit the first time I went on a date to an R rated movie, cause I didn’t have my driver’s license yet. …

I used to work at a theater. Once in a while someone had to leave immediately, but for most things it was three warnings and you’re out. Now most places don’t even train the employees to walk the theater

At least this theater can go out of business whenever it just happens to go out of business.

I like this idea better, but I still haven’t been there because of the price and the distance.

How can people even see the movie in a lighted theater?

Everybody who already saw Battle Royale makes a big deal about this. As someone who had never seen it and never heard of it until after Hunger Games, I just don’t see how any of us in general much less one person in particular was supposed to know about it.

I am so disappointed there are no attacking squid in this story.

Did a miss a rampage of mad squid attacking New York?

Sorry, my card is io9.

Or, someday, I might want to run over some zombies.

I have never done a full 100% application of the accelerator pedal.
