I know your pride. If i can find it, i will post it, but we have a piccture from last halloween, lily was almost 2, and there was a big kid dressed up as michael Meyers handing out candy, so we have a picture of our tiny little blonde standing up to michael meyers demanding candy :)





And its always awesome when your kid(s) like your stuff. Lily so far is a big fan of Tool and Alice and Chains. whenever Man in the Box or The Pot come on, she asks me to turn it up :D

Well the ratings over here are just guidelines parents can choose to follow and If your kid doesn't get nightmares etc. then there is really no point in following them... right?

IDunno really - its a very complicated matter and for definally at the end of the day a parent can make the best informed choice.

Over here its a bit different the 18 cert is not descetionary - not one under the age of 18 is permitted to see films with that cert. Cinemas/video libararys can get fined for breaching the law.

Not having kids I can't really make the call on what i'd like my children watch.

'If your kid doesn't get nightmares etc. then there is really no point in following them... right?'

Its a little more complicated than that - the harmless influence of film on its audience has always been heavily debated with no real proof for either side. Though few people can say that children are more easily influenced than adults it is still very difficult to draw the line in what is suitable for those under 18 or 15 or 12..

I would definally question letting any one under the age of 12 watch films such as Friday the 13th/Halloween or TCM.

And I would be shocked at a parent letting some one of the same age group to films such as Last House/I spit on your grave/Ilsa (or films with similar sexual violence).

Neverending-i'm gonna check that out with him
Ferox-I'm watching these with my son,believe me hes not seeing any sexual crap,most of the movies are actually on my tivo.Over here,when they are on like the sci-fi channel or whatever,they cut most of that out.I actually was just watching The Omen with him!I'm gonna prescreen any horror movie i allow them to watch.He has a new collection of Goosebumps dvds that i'm sure is gonna keep him pretty busy.I'm telling you guys,when he learns to spell,read and type he will be on this site.He was checking out everyones av's today and he is very impressed with this site!!
