\nToday is my youngest son’s birthday – he is 7 now but that is not what is making me feel old. One of the things that he suggested that he might like for his birthday was the DVD of the Transformers movie.<\/p>\n

Who makes the decisions when making a movie based on a child’s toy that it should have bad language and sex references in it. Don’t they realise young children will want to see this movie and drag at least one parent along for the ride. Surely that is going to bring in more revenue than whatever teenage market they were aiming it at. It wouldn’t be hard to tone down the cussing a bit and remove the unnecessary references to masturbation and still have a great action movie.<\/p>\n

We had to go and see it in the cinema last year but I have been holding off buying or renting the DVD mainly because of the sexual references. They ignored them at the cinema because they got lost in the action – and I think they were more taken with the Autobots trying to remain unseen in the garden. But it is only a matter of time now before someone asks me about it with repeated viewings at home.<\/p>\n

Ah well, I suppose it was a talk that had to come sometime but I was hoping he would be older than 7 before I had to do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
