Soccermoms and Soccerdads in DROVES taking their kids to F9/11
I am told, out here in Suburban San Ramon, where it's supposedly Centrist through and through...wifey told me there were lines around the block at the local Regal in Dublin, not with hippies or activists, but PARENTS taking their kids to see Farenheit 911

God I can't wait to see this next week.

4. Yes, but anybody can attend an R-rated film...
...provided they're with parents. It's the very rare NC-17 rating that strictly prohibits minors from watching, regardless of who accompanies them.

Besides, the local news stations ran stories of parents dropping their minor children off to watch "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut" unattended while they went off to shop or whatever thing they felt was so important that they couldn't spend time with their kids instead.

5. I think I'm going to take my daughter.
She's 12. I might consider letting my oldest son see it when it's on DVD. He's going to be 9 in September and it's a bit much now emotionally, but he's very smart and could understand much of it. I just don't think he's quite ready yet emotionally, but maybe in another year or so.
My daughter though has read Al Franken's last book and even Pitt's book, so she already "get's it". (My 3 year old tried to read Will's book, but decided to color on it with orange marker instead).

6. Shhhhhh! Don't tell William Pitt!
I don't think he'd like orange marker on his book!

:D

7. He already saw it last weekend.
Nope, I don't think he liked it. :) Everything I own though is "lived-in lovingly" I should say.
