Hi coug, My family used to go to all sorts of movies together (whatever was playing at the local movie house). Usually it was innocuous. I remember a movie called "Beach Red" in 1967 or so, which, at the time was one of the gruesomely accurate depictions of taking a beach up till that time. I was really too young and impressionable to see it and it had imagery that stuck in my mind for years. I was 13! The stuff people see now is so violent and representational. I don't think its good for them, but if I restrict my kid too much I think I'd be afraid that they would be out of the social context by too much. I don't like senseless violence and generally don't watch it too much, but almost everybody likes a scare and it is something that my Goth-leaning daughter and I can watch. My youngest gets scared by the stuff the older one would like. It's hard to find a balance (something everyone can enjoy)... I feel very conflicted because I think that violent imagery makes pathways in the brain just like a river cuts through sediment.
