Breaking: No one want to buy their gown at Talbots or Brooks Brothers anyway.

At least one of them better be shirtless.

OK. But that's rather a lame dance party. Maybe if you are really stoned …

Went to St. Andrews and ran a race on that beach, and then hobbled around for days because you really should not run on sand.

I guess like professors, critics sort of have their own scale which you get to know over time. Most students should get Cs, but with grade inflation, that's generally not the case. (Trust me on this. I'm a biochemistry professor). I understand that to get a C, a movie has to be mediocre in a certain way, not just…

Want to see a good G-rated movie that does not end with a dance party? Watch "2001: A Space Odyssey".

Well you raise a really interesting point, because many grown up movies that we on this site (or critics in general) might call crappy are very popular. That is to say that most adults would not find them crappy. So if we do not judge the quality of grown up movies based solely on their popularity with grown ups, why…

Right. There are crappy movies for adults as well, and we are not afraid to point that out, even if many adults seem to enjoy the hell out of them.

Well, the movies are made by full grown adults, and full grown adults pay for the tickets.

Children are not the only ones who have to endure these movies. It's possible to make movies that are appropriate for children and enjoyable by children that are actually enjoyable by adults as well. It not as though a movie has to have graphic violence (which, granted, many children's movies actually have), sex, or…

There is no reason movies aimed at kids need to suck, and if you show kids good movies, they learn how to tell the difference about as quickly and with about the same frequency as adults. That is to say, some kids can actually have refined tastes in movies and other pop culture, if given access to high quality stuff.…

One way of another, that's a bad friggin' movie. Even my then 4 year old daughter recognized it as an awful movie, and claimed that I was "ruining her" by taking her to see it.

But what a coast it is.

Also, he's just supper nice, and great with the baby, and devoted to her, and thoughtful, and generous. He's just about as appealing as can possibly be. It's more an issue of "why the heck didn't she notice before?" kind of thing.

A very enjoyable watch on Christmas night. Having watched "The Husbands of River Song" the night before and again Christmas morning, it was kind of nice to have an episode that did not leave me in tears. It was cute and fun. (Maybe it helped that I was watching Dr. Who with my daughter all day Christmas Eve and…

Good lord he looks badass in that picture.

You can't have something set in the Star Wars universe without genocide. What's the body count on planets destroyed so far in the movies?

I don't really draw a distinction. Sure, there are things that are not appropriate for kids, but are there really things that adults should not watch, even if they are good? Things that, content wise, are appropriate for kids can be really interesting.

Things went even more downhill for her after I pointed out the sin of expository dialogue. "Thanks mom. Now I can't enjoy anything."

Mine was "Pete's Dragon". I remember sitting in the theatre with my mom and thinking how horrible it must be for her to have to take me to see crap like that. My daughter's awakening came with "Chicken Little". Her response to the movie: "Why did you take me to that? You're ruining me." She was four.
