We took Emeline to see Coraline today. It was a bit of a clusterfuck.
We warned Em that it might be a bit scary, to which she said, "Not to me!!" We get our snacks and sit down. The previews start. They show the previews for: Clutch 2, The Haunting in Connecticut, and a couple of other R rated movies. I raised an eyebrow, escpecially when Emeline crawled into my lap on the verge of crying during the trailer for Haunting in Connecticut, but didn't think anything of it.
We put our 3-D glasses on and the movie started.
Except the projectionist hit the wrong button. (S)he started MY BLOODY VALENTINE. I've never seen parents running out of a theater so quickly in all my life. It was really kind of funny.
But, they got it fixed, Coarline was watched and Em loved it. She wants to go as Coraline for Halloween. Which, I can totally get behind, but I need to find a way to make the Other Mother's gray polka dot dress with the fuschia bustle thingie.
But the movie was WONDERFUL. Just marvelous and beautiful. Now I need to read the book.

Ah hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
I've had nightmares like that

Heh, I've had that happen.
Took Emmett to see an innocuous animated movie with an audience filled with wee kids. Movie is late to start, waiting waiting, lights dim and it comes up....Right in the torture scene of Mission Impossible (2? with Philip Seymour Hoffmann).
Screaming, mayhem, crying toddlers, running for the doors...
Ha, Aims! But that means you missed the 3-D trailers! Aw. I saw Coraline today too.

No R-rated movies for the Coraline previews -- we got one for Monsters Vs. Aliens, which does look promising. And I heard no crying children during the movie itself, but then Bay Staters are tough, sensible folk who either raise brave children or leave the easily-scared ones home.
My theater had both a crying baby, and then other people yelling at the parents to take the baby outside.
Yeah, we had previews for Monsters vs. Aliens, 9, and Up! at Coraline yesterday.
