to think that GROWN MEN should not be going to TRANSFORMERS on their own?????

[drosophila]

Took DS yesterday and was surprised to see grown men sitting on their own watching the movie. One man had dragged his 5 yr old dd. Don't think she was too impressed.

DP kept saying how he had wanted to go and is actually going back on Sun with DS so that he can watch it.

What is it with men???

It was quite enjoyable as it goes.

not sad at all. i went to that on my own.
and as for the poster about her elderly dh, he should just think to himself screw them. he shouldn't be dictated to by people who allow themselves to be scaremongered into believing every man on his own is a paedophile. that is one thing that gets my goat no end, adults used to be allowed to be nice to kids they didn't know if they were walking through a park or shopping centre and the child approached them.now people feel afraid to even talk to a friendly child as everyone is ready to label them a sex pest.

Well my dh may be going alone soon. He's desperate to see it and wants to take ds but he's just too young to go.

Its either alone or not at all.

My dh will be going alone - ostensibly to check out whetehr it is suitable for 6 yr old dd and 4 yr old ds - if it is he gets to see it again (altho I will go too )

My DH is desperate to go, he was really into the transformers the last time around, 20 odd years ago and I'm not so sure that the film "isn't" aimed at the 20 somethings who where the original fans...

YABU.

Each to their own n all that.

DH wouldn't be interested in this, but might enjoy the peaceful afternoon at the flicks, lol.

Dunno I dragged dp to watch Harry Potter with me and Night in the Musuem (I liked them - he hated both) - what age is Transformers?

AIBU to think that GROWN WOMEN should not be going to Love Actually/Bridget Jones/blah on their own?

i take it you've been so see transformers then pan? [innocent emoticon]

dh say wats wrong with men going on own

Is it that men on their own in cinemas either look sad, pervy or both? Whereas a woman going to see Bridget Jones or similar is just being a savvy independant modern marm? .

DD2 (aged 22) went with a male mate last week and they both enjoyed it hugely. I don't think there are age/sex parameters on this one (well apart from the littlies)

innocent emocion, ha!!

Nah....but if a bit of crash-bang-whollop is up his street, then get on with it!! And two chaps watching it togehter is no better or worse.....

I once went to see a Tarkovsky film on my own as no-one else was prepared to sit through 3 hours of "telling visual photo-imaging"..now THAT was sad!

I've made several bfs wriggle though various arty films which were so not their cup of tea but which I wanted to see. Have to admit making a car plant worker sit through The End of the Day was probably a tad cruel (tis a terribly draggy film) - Transformers would be right up his street though.

Tarkovsky was painful.
Naturally when I reported back it was gripping, speaking directly to one's soul, and they had missed an artistic triumph. When aktuali I had dozed after about an hour.

Not read the whole thread - why is it such a problem?? These men spent their childhood watching it, the technology wasn't about then to make it that realistic, so now it is the film they WANTED to see as a child, in all its glory.

yabu seeing as the film is a 12 then no. I've seen it and thought it was great, as did dh. I wouldn't let my children see it actually as it was too voilent in parts. They both love transformers so will watch it when they're older.

Why is it just men anyway? I'm sure lots of women have seen it too. It wasn't even a film aimed at children imo hence the 12a certificate. If they wanted more children to see it they would have made it a lower certificate. I believe the audience they were aiming at is the generation that grew up with transformers but also hoped to grab the youth of today as well.
