Keep your eyes and ears open. Ok folks, another rant here. I am so angry I could spit nails. The other day my brother Pete came up with a DVD. We trade sometimes and he found a copy of Dreamwork's "Sinbad". Yesterday, since there was nothing on TV, Terry and I watched it. We like the animated movies. They are a nice change sometimes from the reality of life. I was floored! I am going to watch it again more carefully to see what else was said that I missed. This is supposed to be a children's movie and I picked up on two lines that I don't think I want my grandaughters hearing. The first one took place during a part in the movie when it had, because of magic, became really cold. Everything was frozen and Sinbad was talking to his huge sidekick. Said sidekick was standing there with no shirt on. Simbad comes out with the the line, "Go put shirt on. You're going to put someone's eye out with that thing" He was talking about his nipple. That was mild, ok. But not something an 8 year old needs to hear. But the next line really took the cake. Sinbad throws the lovely Princess Marina into a room and then tosses in his dog. His parting words to her were, "If he starts huggin your leg, it means he likes you." That is just plain perverted. This is telling kids that if a dog starts humping their leg, hey, that's a good thing! Where are the brains that write this stuff? Are they so money-hungry that they have to put disgusting dialog in children's films just to make sure adults will buy tickets too? C'mon! If you want to make a film for adults, go ahead. More power to you. But please don't dress it up as a children's film. Don't put in lewd, adult junk in a cartoon promoted for children and expect 5 to 10 year old kids to watch it. It upsets me that supposed adult with children actually go into a studio and to these lines. I imagine these are the same people who would take someone to court for speaking like that to their children. And the call that entertainment? Give me a break. Please do me a favor. If you have small children, watch the movie before your children do. Don't assume just because it is an all star cast and it is a cartoon that it is acceptable viewing. Ok, I'm done now. Later... Later,
Cosmic
