    Nah, I wanted to go but I couldn't afford it! I caught the Crue at Wachovia last winter though (an intimate evening with Motley Crue) and it was farking awesome. They had a set that was well over 2 hours long with the best stage show I've ever seen!

    Show your little brother Finding Nemo or something... He'll enjoy more and it's far more suitable for his little mind...

    Showing him Dawn will do him no good in comparison...

    Don't show him such things..... He's got plenty of time!

    I think he is a bit youn, but I said it was OK becasue some, if not most, of my fond childhood memories are of my older brothers turning me on to a lot of cool stuff. They used to take pleasure in scaring me half to death (in fun, not mean). They forgot that I was much younger than them so they exposed me to (non sexual) stuff that I was maybe too young for. Rather than warp me, it gave me food for a lifetime of enriching interests. If a kid is surrounded by love and acceptence no amount of nasty art is going to change him into a bad guy. Thats just crap.
    Though some of the nightmares were pretty bad. But I thought Godzilla was just as scary as NOTLD
    So, on second thought, maybe you should be a little patient and wait a couple of years. But "Kids" stuff like Charlots web (the old one) ,Willie Wonka, or Watership Down can be way scarier to a kid than zombies.
    Usually kids get more scared if it has a "kids in trouble" element ala Jurassic Park. They cant really relate to adults but they can relate to a child.

    If by Aero you mean Aerosmith they are really excellent live, even their new ultar commercial junk. I cannot stand them and I even dislike their 70s material but boy was I surprised at them live. They are a seriously kick ass band. If they can make garbage like Love in an elevator good live, they are really talented. Still hate their records but live they are at least an 8 of 10. MAybe higher.

    Dont like too much Crue, but I suspect it may be a similar situation.

    Yeah Coma

    Aerosmith is a great live band, I hate "love in an elevator" nothing but noise to me, as a matter of fact I hate anything they did after the 70's, their 70's stuff was great.But a very good live band all the same.

    But Motley is an unbelievable band live, they throw the kitchen sink right at you, you walk out of the show and you are literally wiped out.I've been listening to them since 1981 when I was 15 years old and no-one never knew who they were back then. I've seen them live since 81 about 20 to 25 times. Once you see them live you are just hooked by their energy.




    If by Aero you mean Aerosmith they are really excellent live, even their new ultar commercial junk. I cannot stand them and I even dislike their 70s material but boy was I surprised at them live.

    I was fifteen when I finally got to see it! (Started watching horror flicks aged 9)
    I do not think a child that age will understand what he is seeing anyways at that age

    First one to show their kid Dawn of the Dead while they're still in the womb wins the collective floored jaws of the HPOTD community!

    Does anybody feel three years old is too young to be viewing this film?
    Don't sweat it. I was 4 when I watched Creepshow and I turned out fine. Well, the roach story screwed me up for many years.

    And was it your peers or parents who performed this excellent example of nurchering?

    My dad actually. Creepshow was making its debut on Showtime back around '82 or '83. Neither one of us knew anything about it other than it was a horror movie. So, we watched it together. But that movie is pretty tame compared to a number of other movies around that time and much later.
