Personally, I like his attitude.

Actually, that’s sort of rude. I think he should do like when he accidently crashed his plane into his friend, the Duchess’s house.

You say, “I’m sorry”.

He has a point! We are raising a crop of sissie weaklings, afraid of their own shadows, and not fit to survive in the real world. Moral and physical courage are becoming rare commodities in Western culture.

We need warriors, male and female, our culture is under attack, and we are losing the battle.

You do not do your children a favor by leaving them weak and helpless, they will need to survive long after you are dust.

>>This concentration on kids being scared, as though we as adults can’t be scared. Of course we’re scared. I’m scared of watching a TV show about vampires. I can’t fall asleep. It never stops. We’re grown-ups; we know better, but we’re afraid.”

What a fricken Idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a movie. It’s optional. There is enough for kids to be afraid of in this world. Hellsbells, Obama is in the WH. We all need to be afraid.

But taking your kid to a movie to “be afraid” is idiotic. WHY? Because these idiots want to make a buck?

I wouldn’t give these Doofuses one flat dime of my money. In fact, when this flick comes out, I’m going to watch it free on the internet and not buy the DVD. I will choose how to raise my child and what is too scary for my young children.

I don’t have to see your movie Mr. Sendak. YOU need to sell it.

I think his attitude is 100% spot on.

Also:

The movie is rated PG. That means “Parental Guidance” - for those here from Rio Linda.

Do your jobs, parents, or STHU.

I wonder what crowd they are expecting at the movie. Judging by my facebook newsfeed, the 18-25 age group will be well represented.

I had this book memorized at one time. Just guessing but if your kid is scared of a vacuum cleaner don’t take them to the movies.

If parents have nothing better to do than complain about Maurice Sendak ... well, then, they can go to hell.
