Good lord.
Even if you have children, why is the nation in love with children's movies? Our parents raised adults...and took us to see Alien and Ghandi and Chariots of Fire and Platoon and Mosquito Coast as children.
But those movies don't exist anymore. Now it's movies for children or the rare movie for senior citizens.
You have either Iron Man 3 or The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
What the hell happened to the majority middle ground?
How did the comic book 40 year old virgin nerd who can't grow up vs. old lady On Golden Pond become Hollywood's cash cow?

I have kids now and the best of the kids movies are Fantastic Mr Fox
I don't think Fantastic Mr Fox is a kid's movie. I mean, it's fine to show to kids, but I think it's an adult movie that happens to be animated. I get that it's based on Roald Dahl, but Dahl's "children's" work was all kind of adult too and I think there are pubic schools that don't read his books anymore because they have been seen as too adult or subversive for today's soft children.
