Dude, you just bitched about parents taking their kids to see it. So back up the parents who are trying to prevent their kids from seeing it.
I agree. I am feeling newfound parental solidarity.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
She should have told me up front she wanted me to lie for her- I would have been cool with it. The shushing was completely uncalled for. And if I would have seen her buy the tickets I would have warned her. There's also ratings information everywhere.

Pfft. You need to learn to lie extempore. That's the only useful kind.

I bet, as parents, you don't take your kids to a movie without looking at the ratings information in advance.
she shushed me like a dog! and did that gesture, you know, like snapping jaws with her hand!

I'd have totally fired back "Your mommy LIES!"
Being a parent makes you the boss of your kid, not of me.

Yeah, I totally would've gone for the throat-slitting motion myself.

how about a great Pittsburgh movie? Innocent Blood.
"This shirt is disgusting." Love it.
I also admit to loving Alan Ruck in FBDO (and I can't say Broderick did a bad job, I just hate the character he's playing). But really, if in order to force you to have the balls to confront your dad over non-related issues, you're also required to destroy an automobile that IS a piece of art? FUCK. THAT. SHIT. I know Ferris didn't intend that to happen, but the fact that he thought he'd helped his friend by somehow directing him towards that kind of behavior (which I suspect would have gotten him in SERIOUS shit if he'd done the equivalent at home AND GOTTEN CAUGHT FOR IT!!!!!) makes me think of him as mega-asshole.
He's not a douche-bag, though. I'll give him (very few) points for that.

I've driven a carriage in the Von Steuben Day parade. We were the Berlin Bears two years in a row.

Gotta disagree with you on that one Hec. If you took them in, you can sure as fucking shit explain it for your own damn self on the way out.

Man, all we're talking about is assisting with the exit strategy after they already made a mistake. Parenting is pretty much non-stop mistakes and exit strategies.
Lend a convenient Adult Nod and MmmHmmm of backup. It's good for the family; it's good for America.
