Oh, and I sort of agree with Hec--it does take a village after all. But I would have pleaded with my eyes, as opposed to shushing. That is rude.
Comic book movies are hard to figure. Some of them can be mostly cartoony violence that young kids can understand. Wolverine is a dark character but someone who isn't familiar with the comic books might not know that and expected something more along the lines of Spider-Man or Superman.
Yes, she should have checked it out more thoroughly and asked someone before hand but how hard is it to play along?
I
loved
Night at the Museum
but I am a big old museum geek. It's fun akin to
The Librarian.
Don't analyze it- just enjoy the ride.
At first I was annoyed that Megan Fox turned down Wonder Woman on the grounds that the character is lame but I have to give her this one:
She tells British magazine FHM, "She's lame. She flies around in an invisible jet, but she's not invisible. I don't get it."
Night at the Museum is hilarious. can't wait for the sequel.
I loved Night at the Museum until they go to the obligatory hip-hop-esque "it's a kid movie, end it with lame dancing etc." part.
My three-year-old stole a candy bar off an end cap in the grocery store (I missed it. I was busy keeping my two-year-old from climbing the end cap). I marched him back inside to the cashier, made him hand it back, confess, and apologize.
What did she do? Big aww, isn't that cyuuuute smile. "Oh, that's okay, honey."
No. No, it's not. I have to agree with Hec on this one. Be part of the village, back the parent up. The bad manners were rude, but inadvertent, and part of being a parent focused on what's best for the kid.
ETA: Thanks for the op on Wolverine. Sad, but good to know.

Except those are two very different situations, in one, you are asking someone to lie, in another, you actually want the truth.
Personally, if you want to lie to make peace with your kid, I get it, and I won't interfere or contradict, but expecting me to also lie is a big deal.
I just saw Wolverine, and... well, it was pretty, I'll give it that.
Stands in the corner with Megan
Yes, I've withdrawn from active participation on this subject, but I will agree when somebody expresses how I feel.
Wolverine made $87 fucking million $$!
WoW.
