Autobots

Hubby and I both wanted to see Transformers -- lemme just say, it's way cooler than the cartoons.

At our home teacher's suggestion, we took the girls. He and his wife had taken their autistic son who is very sensitive to violence and noise, and he rather enjoyed it. Since Munchkin is also sensitive to violence, we figured it would be safe. Well.

Some of the previews (chuck and larry?) will probably lead to conversations with Munchkin, who doesn't know anything about gay people.

And yes, there was a LOT of violence, but no blood as it was mostly machines pounding on each other. Even when people died, there was no blood, which is what Munchkin is mostly sensitive to. She LOVED it. So did the rest of us. And neither of the girls woke us up in the night with nightmares. But even I had dreams about talking cars that turn into robots.

There were some swear words, the girl doesn't dress all that modestly, and a rather uncomfortable discussion in the boy's room with his parents (mostly his mother) about masturbation, i.e., Sam's Happy Time. Could have done without those things, which will probably lead to more uncomfortable discussions with Munchkin, but it was a pretty good movie overall.
