...that they can do whatever they want. They are not rebuked for fear of hurting their feelings. Later, when parents and teachers try to impose rules and regulations, children react by becoming disrespectful and rebellious. They also see far too many adults and celebrities who act as if getting drunk and behaving like rowdy footballers is the ultimate way to have fun. Today's Britain is a society where responsibility, duty and respect for others are sadly lacking. J.Y. Yeung, Buderim, Queensland...

They must have been very drunk." Who, after reading Thomson, would dare say they enjoyed these movies sober...
...Vertigo tour. "It reflects the joy and exuberance you see from the audiences who are hearing the show live [in the movie]." U23D makes the most of its dimensionality, plunging you into the middle of teeming stadium crowds, without the elbow in your ribs or the drunk "Woo hoo!" girl in your ear. And unlike $70 nosebleed seats, the $17 movie tickets get you close enough to Bono's outstretched hand to nearly feel him graze your cheek. Some fans are showing up for the film ready to take part--during a glittering shot of a crowd holding up thousands...
