Supporters say parents can sign off on movies for their kids without the time and expense of chaperoning them with the new R-card, which Springfield-based GKC Theatres began rolling out last fall in parts of its 22-city chain in Illinois and three other Midwest states. The card only works for the R-rating, which requires children under 17 to be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian.

um is that cool (under 17)

Sounds like careless parenting to me.

And lots of fake Pass cards LOL

heheh
*prints one out*
*gets ready to see Troy*

i am 15 and i saw troy!!

WTF? Everyone I know gets into Rated R Movies without a parent.

hehehe me too

i read about this in the paper aswell. Who really cares, i never had trouble getting into an R rated movie when i was a kid. Stopping a kid from seeing an R rated movie for one day is not going stop him from becomming desensitized or aware of breasts,guns,death , and drugs. I mean why does anyone pretend to care anymore? especially when you know it doesnt work

Horrid movie, I'd have rather found a different R movie to see

ive never seen that. any gud?

hey whether or not the movie is Nc 17, these kids will see it on dvd, cable, video, when it comes out. SO why not let them see it on the big screen anyway. PEople under 18 cant be protected anymore. And if they think that they can sheild children, they are FOOLING THEMSELVES.

Its the law mate.

I already made a discussion thread on this topic

kes me aint a mate

law....LOL there are plenty other pointless laws

lol

Maybe because when you watching on the big screen the breast get larger or something ?

True. Hey here I never had a problem getting in to see a movie so *shrugs*

fini> Mate is an expression but if you dont like it I wont right it anymore when replying to you.

Every theater I have ever been to you can buy tickets for whatever G-rated movie you want to at the ticket office, then just roam to a R-rated theater when you get past the concession area.

And nobody follows it

Apparently in the U.S. they do, most of the time.

Only at the ticket booth. The area with the theaters, whatever it's called, is a different story in most places.

I have more of a problem with cell phones in movie theaters than I do with people under 17 getting in. I attended my fair share of R-rated movies back in my early high school days, and I wouldn't say that I was a victim of bad parenting because of that. Same with most of the people I grew up with.

Cell-phones affect the projector. Its really annoying!

Never heard of that 'en

pssst....Sneak in

But now... its legal But I always sneak in

me too but I havent done it in a long time.
