it's not your age that makes you old

It's having kids.
And catching just a glimmer of seeing things as they do.
Superwife, Trinity and I watched the gorefest that is Sin City tonight, and it helped illuminate a new thing for me: Censoring the content my daughter is exposed to. Or in this case, not censoring it.
Ok, so she's only 7 weeks old, but babies at that age do see in black & white. And this movie was mostly black & white save for the profligate amounts of blood and carnage strewn about. So maybe she couldn't really see any of it, but she was in the same room as the tv it was on.
And if there was ever a movie that she shouldn't be in the same room as, that was it.
Not that I'm against violence. I may be a pacifist, but I am also a guy, and I like a good shoot-em-up as much as the next guy. But this movie was gory just for the sake of being gory. Somebody must have thought that it made up for the Tarantino-esque series of almost related events that made up the plot.
Next time I rent movies, I'm reading the back carefully first.
Either that, or I'm hiring a babysitter for Trinity.
