LOL, I remember seeing the South Park movie and being astounded by several 11-13-year-old boys who were there with their dads. |
Heh, heh- sounds like a cool dad! Honestly, I wonder about the translations, though- I think a lot is ... lost. Betcha dad figured it was an innocent cartoon  |
This was back in Canada. I haven't been in Korea quite that long.
When I was in Canada this summer I picked up a copy of Team America: World Police. I might consider showing it to my students if it weren't for the fact that they do such a piss poor job of KJI's accent. |

And last week, I seen a Schwarzaneggar movie
where he's shootin all sorts of these motherfuckers with a uzi
I sees three little kids, up in the front row,
screamin "Go," with their 17-year-old Uncle
I'm like, "Guidance - ain't they got the same moms and dads
who got mad when I asked if they liked violence?"
And told me that my tape taught 'em to swear
What about the make-up you allow your 12-year-old daughter to wear?

| I went with my father to see "Boogie Nights" in high school. He fell asleep and I loved it. Going to the movies was a bonding experience for me and my father, we didn't have many of the same interests, but going to the movies was something we could do together, even if he didn't always "get" the movies I dragged him to. |

When I went to see "Alien 4" there was a 3 or 4-year-old screaming and crying at the gross parts. The parents told him to shut up or they would spank him.
It's quite possible that the parents at "The Departed" didn't know how graphic the movie was. I was planning to see it, and I didn't know. "Alien 4" on the other hand, is pretty obviously going to be toddler-inappropriate. There are plenty of bad parents everywhere. |

That's a bit harsh! I don't see the OP saying anything about Koreans only the parents of the child...and I agree with him. A three year old child should nor be brought to see a film like that. Apart from the violence and language (which hopefully went over his head) how would a three year old possibly have any interest is such a film.....and it's also unfair to the other patrons to have a bored three year old near them in the cinema when they're trying to enjoy the film! |
Grimalkin, Q's comment was directed, appropriately, I think, to Brocky, not the OP. |
Eh? Then it doesn't make sense!
Can you explain  |
Yeah I agree.. doesn't make much sense. Anyhoo, I was talking about the OP. You say it's harsh but um.. well.. two sentences of light, obvious sarcasm is harsh? Ooookay.
I was trying to think of what the OP would do if he were still living in his home country and saw a similar incident. Would he get on the Internet and report it? Probably not. Just that people like to point out some really mundane stuff here on Dave's from time to time and it's transparent. |

Just got back from viewing one of the most gruesome, obscenity-laced, violent movies I have ever seen, the Departed. I would say it may have even gone a notch above Goodfellas.
As I'm exiting the aisle, who do I see right in front of me? That's right, a boy no older than the age of 3, accompanied by Dad and Mom.
Nothing like spending a Sunday afternoon with your kid watching a 2 1/2 hour movie, with close to 300 curse words and multiple graphic gun shots to the head.
Kudos also to the good folks at Cinus movie theater.
Good thing there are no porno theaters in Korea.

It really is funny how you just wrote this because I was going to write something similar in what happened in the State. I was reading a forum in IMDB about the Saw 3 and this guy mentioned how this couple brought in children who were in their 9-10 years old range and those children were screaming their lungs out and pleading with their parents to leave the theater. I mean, SOB!!, Saw movies are known for torture and violence and they bring children inside. Come on!!!
As for the departed, dont exaggerate to make your point. I do not condone parents bring in 3 years old to see R-rated movie but it is far from "one of the most gruesome, obscenity-laced, violent movies"
Where were you, watching countless repeats of Mary Poppin and Sound of Music?
"Selective thinking" happens so frequently in Dave forum it is not even funny anymore. Same crap happens in their native land but they don't see it (ignore it) but when it happens in foreign land, they suddenly become an expert and concerned citizen. |

I don't know how closely you follow international/American news, just a few days ago a news said that a mom in America murdered her own 3 weeks old by putting in MICRO-OVEN.
It wasn't even for insurance 
Everybody said, oh, she has a mental problem, well did you ever hear/read a news that any korean woman murdered her own child ?
That kind things NEVER NEVER happened in korea, I am sure there is some women in korea have mental problem too, but at least korean parent NEVER kill their own child. |

A Korean husband and wife are facing criminal charges after their baby daughter died when they left her alone in order to play World of Warcraft.
According to news site Chosun, police say the parents left their four month-old child alone in a bedroom while they went to play the MMORPG at a local Internet cafe.
When they returned five hours later, the baby was lying on her stomach and had died of suffocation.
"We were thinking of playing for just an hour or two and returning home like usual, but the game took longer that day," the couple is reported as saying.
Following a police investigation, the husband and wife will be required to defend their actions in court.
"It's unfortunate, because the tragedy could have been averted if the couple had just left their daughter with Yu's mother-in-law, who lived upstairs from them," said police.
"We booked the pair on criminal charges, judging that when you consider the situation, they were responsible for their daughter's death." |
...Yes missseoul because no one loves a child more than a Korean mother.
Are you one of these Korean women with mental problems?
I could find more examples but so could anyone, just google it!
Infanticide exists in all cultures.

I thought that it was hockey games that were for bonding between fathers and sons with practially no common interests whatsoever, like my dad and me. |

I was gay and thus had no real interest in hockey (that killed my father more than the gay thing) so we compromised on movies. He got me into art house and indie films and once in a while I took him to something with Steven Segal, it worked out well. |

Okay maybe I was being a bit harsh as well.....or maybe it's a case of England and America, two countries seperated by a common language. While the word 'harsh' probably carries the same meaning in both the phrase 'that's a bit harsh' really only means 'that's a bit unfair' in the UK (cos the OP wasn't generalising about Koreans).
It reminds me of when I came to Korea first my greeting 'Alright mate' always got the startled response 'yes...why?' from my co-workers the same way their greeting 'What's up' elicited a similarly startled response 'Nothing...why?' from me.

| I have loved thrillers, suspence, and action movies for ever. Takes a lot to disturb me. I saw "Saw" and "Saw 2" and enjoyed them. But I walked out of "Saw 3", first time Ive ever walked out of a movie. It was just too much. Anyone else see it>? |
