Take that 12A certificate!

It seems somebody has been paying attention to the rants of people, like myself, who can't stand the 12A rating. Granted, this isn't just applied to films with the 12A rating but it has to be the biggest offender.

For example, I went to see the Michael Moore documentary "Sicko". Now, considering this is a film about health care you can't really see it drawing a large teenage audience. I certainly didn't expect the group of baseball capped, tracksuit warriors who entered the screening. Now, instead of judging I gave them a chance. But when they wouldn't shut up I turned round and told them to "shut the fuck up". On a side note, this is the first time I have ever felt compelled to say this in a cinema. Shortly after this they left. Why did they even buy tickets to this film? Perhaps they thought it was the latest "torture-porn" film, considering the title.

Anyway, my point is this isn't the first time a group of idiotic children has invaded a film they clearly have no interest in. Both "The Interpreter" and "Ghost Town" spring to mind. So I'm all for adult only showings of films. You know, for people who actually want to watch the films! It's just a pity my local is an Empire and not a Vue. Damn it.
