3 year old chokes on popcorn in movie theater:

I read that article and immediately told myself not to tell JD about the story. Immediately after that thought was, "Wait a second...what movie were they watching?"

I have to scratch my head at parents that take their 3 year old to see "Alien vs. Predator." I mean...REALLY!

I can't imagine that the child has seen either the Alien or Predator series. How was he supposed to know what was going on? I would think that you would need to have seen the other movies to have the background to follow the plot in "A vs. P!"

I thought the same exact thing when I read that. What parent brings a 3-year old to "Alien vs. Predator"?!? They were quoted in the NY Daily News as saying that they went to that movie because "the children like monsters". It is still a horrible tragedy though, and it sent a shiver down my spine.
