So, did your son handle it okay afterwards? We're thinking of taking the girls. They are eleven, but a little younger mentally. What do you think? They've seen Harry Potter films, and the Pirates movies with no ill effects.

He decided to go to the bathroom once because "it's too intense," but afterward he was saying that it rocked. Ultimately, he really enjoyed it and was talking about it to everyone.

Wolverine and Diabetes

[ext_185364]

I was going to see Wolverine last night but decided I could not deal with the crowds. Gonna wait and see it during the week. And I donated prizes to the diabetes auction, including lunch with me at the RWA conference and a one month mentoring package for an aspiring writer. My niece has diabetes and was diagnosed at 7 years old. Great cause, and Brenda is doing an awesome job trying to make a difference!

Kid question- my son is 10 and doesn't usually get scared by movies, but we recently rented the first X men and Mystique freaked him out so bad, his dad had to sleep with him for 2 nights.

Its the fact that she can turn into anybody that scared him- shapehsifting and invisibility terrify him.

So, what do you think?

In that case, I wouldn't take him. As much as I loved it, it was intense even for me. I'm not sure it's something I'd watch again (except for certain memorable scenes), because when I sit down to watch a movie, I'm in it for entertainment, and I have a tendency to feel things too deeply sometimes.

thanks! I have that same problem with movies (and books too); the images stay with me a long time, and my son's inherited that. Husband doesn't quite get it. But its too real for me. Must be a writer thing.
