"That is really odd. I can't think why anyone would take a kid to Sideways. Maybe they couldn't afford a babysitter."

Probably. Parents wanted to see it and didn't mind inflicting their children on the rest of the theater. It is impossible for that movie to hold a child's attention for more than thirty seconds.

Drive-ins used to serve that market. My parents took me to a theater when I was a kid and I was such a pain-in-the-ass that they never took me to another one.

We used to go to the drive-in instead. Bring your own soda and snacks, free mosquito coil, you couldn't beat it.

I am totally with you as far as sex in movies being less of a hazard to children than extreme violence. Still, if my daughter when she was younger had inadvertently witnessed a movie sex scene, I would have wanted it at least to be very romantic and involve two people who cared about each other.

That um, back door scene in Sideways with the married waitress in that rat hole of a tract house was hilarious, but as far from romantic as I can imagine . . .
