I was three when my parents (my father, really; my mom was the Trekkie of the family) dragged me to a marathon of all three Star Wars movies. I could not understand the horrible malice of Darth Vader, the emptiness of space, or why the good guys didn't just go "home" to get away from the horrible nasties. You just can't imagine the scars. To this day, I've never sat all the way through one of those torturous movies. Whenever people talk about how much they love Star Wars, I wonder what movies they watched. Strange how context can color an experience to create such varied impressions.

I'm guessing we MeFis are done with all the uncritical cooing after seeing this a couple weeks back. Having had our moment of uncritical reaction, now we're ready for some right proper snarkin'. In addition to trying to preempt the inevitable sneering tide, I also wanted to note that the 3-year old in question is actually quite remarkable for such a one. In particular, toddlers gab, sure. They often gab entertainingly. But this bundle of cute loquacity is able to identify and synthesize concept of morality from cinematic narrative. She's smart. Fucking way smart. Her ability to interpret cinematic narrative outstrips the ability of many 19-year olds. I'm humbled and honored to be a member of her species.

I love how she only really described the parts of the movie she was paying attention to. I wonder how a 3-year-old boy's explanation of the movie would differ... "And then, and then the spaceship shot more lasers like pteoow pteow and then the death star blew up alberoon and it was like FOOOOOOOOOMMMMSSHHH and then yoda was like mmmm nnnn nnn the force nnnn!"

Small children are not as cute as you think they are. Anyone saying things like "he teaches Luke how to learn how to do his little lightup sword; he has to try to block the little pokey ball..." is cute, whether they're a three year old girl or not. Well, OK, maybe not if they're an overweight 40-year-old guy with a neckbeard and ponytail. But still.

A few years back, I thought it would be fun to introduce my son to the original Star Wars trilogy. Bad move; during opening sequence, during the extended pan across the bottom of the massive Imperial Star Destroyer pursing the rebel ship, he grew increasingly agitated before fleeing the room screaming "THIS MOVIE IS FREAKING ME OUT!" He was 8 at the time. I thought he was ready.

I want to show them Princess Bridge but I can't, because they go into shock (literal, medical, have-to-lie-down-and-get-all-gray SHOCK) if they see even a drop of simulated blood. Apparently they need to build their characters. Too much sparing of the rod. And so forth.

I can't wait to have kids. I'm going to let my three year old to babble pleasantly like this about anything she likes - ponies, Star Wars, whatever. I'll also train her to pause in mid-babble, lock eyes with the adult she's speaking with, reach out and place her tiny hand on their larger one, and whisper very softly, "You will die soon." Then she can go back to babbling about the adventures of Bob the Builder or sing a little song.

As someone who loathes small children, I can assure the rest of you too blind to see it, that the only cute children exist between the ages of 2 and 4 and even then, only for limited doses.

My coworker took his four-year old to see Episode 3, where Darth Vadar gets burned up, and I asked him if that wasn't a little scary for a 4 year old. "Nope, 4-year olds pretty much understand that if you have a sword fight on a volcano planet, you're going to get burned up." Nuff said. Plus, don't talk back to Darth Vadar, he'll gitcha. (This now replaces "let the Wookie win" on my bulletin board.)

And yet... now I find myself wondering how this little boy might've recapped that movie...

When I first saw this I was convinced she was parroting the interpretation her parents had given her while watching the movie. ("What's that?" "Darth Vader... Gotta be careful or he'll get ya!")

After reading the sincere-sounding response to the celebrity, I'm not as convinced though.

Worst semi-kid movie experience ever: My wife (who may not have been my wife yet) and I were visiting my parents for a holiday. They didn't know each other terribly well yet, and everyone was a little anxious. Someone opens a package that arrives in the mail, and out falls an ad for Traffic. We were hunting for something to do that afternoon anyway, right? So flash forward: suddenly I am sitting in a darkened room between the woman I love and my mother, watching a sixteen-year-old onscreen prostitute herself for coke, wondering if anyone would notice if I died. My favorite part of telling kids stories is learning which parts they see fit to tell back to you. My two-year-old is starting to educate me quite a bit.

Of course, my brother watched it with me, and he was around three at the time. We watched it at my grandmother's house, who also thought that my little bro would also love Zulu. We didn't really watch many movies at grandma's house after that afternoon. As an aside, the original trilogy was one of the few movies that I would watch as a kid that wasn't a cartoon. We had it on Laser disc. /nostalgia

I was two tears old when I started watching "Triumph of the Will" every afternoon at Leni R's Daycare Bunker. Play will make us free!

I watched The Exorcist on TV with my old man when I was 3. When I got scared, he told me it was just TV, not real, and shuddup so he could hear. So, I shuddup and learned that if I really wanted to impress people that I was sick, I should vomit on them and make my head spin around. I tried for years to figure out how to make my head spin like that. 3-year-old humans may possibly be the most entertaining conversationalists in this world and the best movie reviewers. I mean, c'mon, like you'd rather listen to Roger Ebert?

My mom once dragged me out of bed when I was 8 or so to watch the scene in The Shining where Jack hacks down the bathroom door and says "Wendy, I'm home" with a huge grin on his face. She thought it was one of the funniest things she had ever seen and wanted me to share in that. My mom is awesome.

Y'all's kids are pussies. I saw Watership Down when I was seven. ...and had screaming nightmares for a month. MUM MUM THE RABBITS ARE GOING TO EAT ME! I was even younger (four, five?) and had nightmares about creepy rabbits and fires for YEARS. It still makes me shudder.
