Children in movies

[zybch]

Can someone please give me the name of a movie that had a kid in it that the kid didn't completely ruin?
I've seen 3 movies in the past few days and they all had kids in them and in each one, the kid wrecked the film for me. Look what the little brats did to Jurassic Park (and its sequals), T2, Contagion, Close Encounters and the Harry Potter films (well I guess those last ones kind of needed the spoilt brats).

Is there some kind of union in hollywood that is responsible for the deliberate destruction of otherwise good movies by placing kids in roles where no kid should be.
I just want to reach through the screen and plunge the wretched insects underwater till the bubbles stop!

WaterWorld, but I'm predudiced. I worked on it. :r

The kid was pointless in that movie too. You could have removed it and the movie would still have been good, well still dreadful actually (it still had Costner in it) but slightly less so, because there were no brats ruining it more than neccessary.

I hate kids..in real life AND in movies... :mad:

[zybch]

I especially hate them in movies because you have paid for the 'privilage' of seeing the things.
In real life you get them for free.

It was tongue in cheek. (not the michael jackson kind though).

You had to actually watch the movie to realize that the kid was central to the story.

So, anyway, did you just crawl out from under a rock one day?

SHUT THE HELL UP!

yer watch broken? I said FIVE MINUTES! :D

I don't call a few stupid chalk drawings central to the story. They could just as easily have been found floating in a bottle or something, at leats then we wouldn't have been lumbered with some sprog for 2/3 of the film.

Just look at the hash James Cameron made of Aliens by sticking that little british twerp in his film. At least David Fincher had the forsight to kill her off at the beginning of Alien 3 (just a pity about the rest of the movie).

OK, OK, Kill the Kids. Yeesh!

Someone once asked WC Fields how he liked children, his reply, "Barbequed"

War of the Worlds.

The little kid added a lot to the movie.

[tantone]

I thought the kid in Sixth Sense was good. The kids in The Others weren't bad either.

Them lil brats in ye olde B&W Bugsy Malone movie get right on my top note :mad:

[zybch]

I quite liked all the little kids in Revenge of the Sith, mainly because they all got killed by Vader.

[j.m@talk]

Prevert

[zybch]

If I said I liked them after Vader put them out of my misery I'd be a pervert.
Its just a pity you didn't actually see any of them get stabbed or slashed by vader's great throbbing sword of light.

C'mon. I'm sure you would leap at the chance to view Vader's throbber.
