Probably an unpopular opinion....

But I agree with this article. Does anyone else feel our society is absorbing and accepting a crazy tolerance for violence? I'm not criticizing any of you who go see this movie but are any of you shocked by the levels of violence in our movies and video games? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/2461820/Our-attitude-to-violence-is-beyond-a-joke-as-new-Batman-film-The-Dark-Knight-shows.html

Violence is getting worse. And I certainly think it's irresponsible of parents to allow children to go see violent pg-13 movies like the dark knight. It's weird to me. Those movies are not for children yet people seem to think it's ok for them to go see them. I'll admit I like action movies like the dark knight, casino royale, etc. But I definately wouldn't take my 7 year old to see it that's ridiculous.
