When we went to see Watchman, there was a guy with a kid who couldn't have been older than 6 sitting in the same row as us. The thing is, I'm pretty sure the guy knew perfectly well the movie was rated R, he just didn't care. At least that's my assumption since they sat and watched the whole thing, rather than leaving in a huff. The child was really well behaved, but I just kept thinking "holy shit dude, parts of this movie are going to give ME nightmares, what the hell is WRONG with you?" I mean I actually covered my eyes in a couple places, and the rape scene left me freaked out for days afterward. (Not that I expect a small male child to have the same reactions to violence against women as an adult female, but still.)
