I finally managed to get out of the house for some r&r and took M with me. We walked down to Carousel and purchased some tickets to LaPrem! to see I, Robot. We were going to see shrek 2, but didn’t make it to the cinema in time for that session. I have to comment that it was a pretty good movie. I remember reading the book ages ago, and I agree that it wasn’t really the same body of work as was written by Aasimov. However, it kept true to the feel of the book and the ideas. I have to say, if you gave it a different movie name, then perhaps people would not have bitched about it so much.

Whilst we were there, a family rocked up with a baby and also sat in LaPrem. No problems really, I didn’t care so much at the time since they were sitting on the other side of the Cinema until near the end of the movie, when the baby started crying. It had done little bits but been hushed up, but seriously was bawling during the whole climax of the film and altho we were at least 40 metres away, it was really irrirtating. That was about the worst part of the whole event. So M complained about it when we left and got some tickets for next time. I do feel that kids under the age of 5 shouldn’t be allowed in LaPrem or in movies which aren’t rated pg, or G. There is a creche at Carousel, they could have used that.

I sound unsympathetic - but I wouldn’t go to the movies with children unless it’s a kids movie.
