my wife and I are very busy but we still want to see movies in the theater once in a while so we sometimes go to the midnight showing.
last night we decided to see the midnight show of mission impossible 3.
about 5 minutes in we heard the voice of a girl about 5 years old nearby.
for the next hour she kept talking loudly to her parents.
now I don't know about you but I find it difficult to enjoy watching a lot of violence and murder when I hear a young girl's voice so we complained to the staff and they sent someone down to talk to the parents then the staff member told us that the girl had fallen asleep.
at about 2:20 the movie ended and we saw the parents carry the sleeping girl out.
p.s. about the movie: the action scenes were nice but the rest of the movie sucked.
if they make a number 4 movie we won't see it and in 4 we are guessing that that freak tom will actually drown in his own tears. |

That's nothing!
I watched The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers in Bundang CGV. The movie started at 10:30. A special late show because the movie was so popular.
Pretty soon after the start a baby started crying behind me. Yes, a baby! It may have been as old as two but definitely no older. This baby cried off and on until the movie finished around 2:30 am!! There was also a few slightly older kids in the audience. Yapping and talking all the time.
Scary movie...late show...yeah!!, let's bring the baby!!! |

| Last year out at a bar around 1:30AM. Two couples come in dragging along a girl of about 3-4 years of age. They thought it was cute to put her up on the pool table and let her kick the balls around. Staff just thought it was cute. Then they let her roam while they drank. They gathered her up and left around 3AM. |

Enjoy the crying babies at bars and midnight movie showings while you still can.
The crisis of too few babies
http://joongangdaily.joins.com/200605/08/200605082215043309900090109011.html
Last year the nation's fertility rate �� the number of babies that an average woman would have between the ages of 15 and 49 �� slid to 1.08, from 1.16 in 2004. The reading is a record low not only for Korea, but for the world.
It would not be far-fetched to say the situation is something close to a national disaster.
Today's younger generation is not willing to make more babies just because they will receive a petty amount of financial aid from the government. (selfish, greedy couples?)
What is crucial in resolving this issue is finding exactly what is causing the decline. (selfish, greedy women? just a guess) Experts cite an increasingly late age of marriage and a widespread reluctance to tie the knot as the major reasons for the low birth rate.
They say lingering unemployment has been keeping youth from getting married. (selfish, greedy foreign countries who won't import more Korean products?)
The excessive cost of private education is also a major obstacle to marriage. (selfish, greedy foreign teachers?) Few people will be willing to give birth to more than two babies unless those issues are resolved. |

this is a cool thing from wikipedia:
| Quote: |
It is widely believed that there will be an underpopulation crisis in Japan by 2014, which is unsolvable except by massive immigration. It is also believed that there could be the same crisis in Western Europe; however, immigration is not as unpopular there as it is in Japan, and may help to offset the crisis. Problems could arise in Eastern Europe and Russia too, where the natality fell abruptly after the end of Communism. Underpopulation is also believed to be the root cause of the possible future failure of the United States Social Security system, but, until now, the constant flow of immigrants delayed the problem.
According to more recent reports by the United Nations Population Division (World Population Prospects - The 2002 Revision) and the US Census Bureau (Global Population Profile: 2002), underpopulation is becoming an imminent danger. In the former report, below-replacement fertility is expected in 75 per cent of developing countries by year 2050. In the latter report, the Census Bureau noted that the 74 million people added to the world's population in 2002 were significantly fewer than the high of 87 million people added in 1989-1990. The growth rate was a meager 1.2 percent, down from the high of 2.2 percent in 1963-64. |
it's funny that our economic systems demand we maintain population growth that our natural environment may not be capable of sustaining.
and it's no coincidence the japanese and koreans are working hard on building robots now. their aversion to co-existing with people from other countries is so great that they'd rather co-exist with robots. incredible. |

Hey, Korea's population wouldn't be dwindling like it is if english teachers were paid a flat 20,000 won/hour. 
BTW, BillyB, are you running The Yangpa now? I need to check that out. |

She did you a favour by talking over the watered down and pointless dialogue that accompanied the action scenes.
I did however catch Ice Age 2 at Co-Ex on Monday night. Excellent movie... and you can't beat Fanta Grape. Mmmmmmmmmmm... |

MI:3 was directed by the same guy who created Alias and Lost...JJ Abrams...I think the movie was better than MI:2...but let's face it, MI:1 was the best one of the bunch...
If you did see the movie, did you at least appreciate the digital camera filming the movie? I thought the clarity was much better than those old film cameras. |
