Aren't your younger two really young? Can they handle terror like that? For that matter, can I, I wonder?

Not speaking of Fiona here, but generally: TDK is rated PG13, but BBM is rated R? - ::)
I'm curious how TDK will be rated in Germany; and if I agree with the rating after actually seeing the movie. For now, I can't imagine letting my 12 year old daughter see TDK.

Good morning Heathens :)

My thought exactly!

I just checked the Norwegian Rating: It's 15 years, so parents would not have to ponder whether or not to let a 12-year old go watch it.
The Norwegian Film Board's Reason for the rating (They always explain the ratings they give):
"Despite well-known characters, they are depicted in this film as extremely sombre and unstable. The film is given a 15-year age limit due to its massive depiction of cruelty and violence in a threatening and very dark universe."
In comparison, 11-year olds could go see Brokeback Mountain alone here, if they wanted to. :)
I completely agree with both decisions, of course. IMO it's scary violence that messes kids' brains up, not depiction of love and mature relationships that happens to include non-gratuituous sex.
I've never understood the US rating system.

"KIM Ledger says his family will leave Perth for New York this week to attend the July 15 premiere of The Dark Knight, son Heath Ledger's Batman movie. The trip will take them away from the growing row in the Perth arts world over Alan Carpenter's announcement on Tuesday that a new theatre complex would be named after Heath. Kim Ledger says the family keeps in close touch with Heath's ex-fiancee Michelle Williams and daughter Matilda, 2. "We're going to America five days earlier to be able to play with Matilda," he says. But viewing the last film Heath completed will be hard. "For our family it's a bittersweet experience. We're extremely proud of his work."
