I just saw The Departed on Friday night (it was in a theater that had just opened). I really enjoyed it, although it seemed like everyone's Boston accents kind of came and went.

What bugged the **** out of me though was the couple in the row in front of me who brought their two girls, I'd guess about ages 6 and 8. What the **** are people thinking when they let kids that age watch a movie like that?
 
That's almost as bad as the three or four-year-old who was with his parents watching Blood Diamond this weekend. It was horrible. I wanted to turn around and explain the psychological abuse they were bestowing on their child by letting him watch a movie about genocide that showed people being murdered, point-blank. Not to mention the fact that they had a cell phone that went off at least five times throughout the movie and the constant light from them opening the cell phone and doing whatever. I as BEYOND aggravated.
