Well I was watching Inferno again the other day and I was struck by its family-friendly content. Lava flows killing people, mutated humans screaming and battering people to death, fascist alternate dimensions, impending armageddon - all completely suitable for a toddler to watch.
So my question is this: which of these gentle, whimsical movies is equally suitable for a 2 year old youngster to watch? Is it Reservoir Dogs, which encourages teamwork and displays such a rich use of vocabulary? Is it The Human Centipede, which promotes scientific endeavour and closer bonds between people (literally)? Or is it Saw 6, which by showing scenes of graphic dismemberment would be perfect educational material for a youngster looking to undertake a career in the medical field?
Discuss and vote!

Human Centipede is the best option. A family-friendly masterpiece. However, I have come to the realisation that cinema has many examples of white-knuckle content, especially for young children. But as for Doctor Who, Terror of the Zygons should suit them well, with Geoffrey Burgons’s atmospheric score, the sinister episode 1 cliffhanger with the nurse transforming into a Zygon, said nurse subsequently clubbing a soldier to death with a rock after bleeding profoundly from the arm, a Zygon being impaled in episode 2...yep, seems perfect for a younger child. The Mara stories are good candidates too, with their reliance on psychological horror, ominous sound design and exploration of possession bound to appeal to the youngest of audiences. |

I can't vote on this because, frankly, Mott is just being grotesquely irresponsible and morally bankrupt. The Human Centipede is not remotely acceptable entertainment for a two year old.
The Human Centipede 2, however, always goes down an absolute storm with the gurglers. I've never heard so much excitement... |

I quite agree, and i must say that, personally, i applaud the recent showing of "The Passion of the Christ" on CBeebies. That's precisely the sort of thing our youth need for the strengthening of their moral character. |

That's precisely the sort of thing our youth need for the strengthening of their moral character. Yes, the broadcast of Gibson's film, followed by an exclusive showing of Pasolini's 1975 youth-orientated masterwork "Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom", encompasses how the channel is finally starting to orientate itself around a more child-friendly remit. Jesus being hounded and tortured for two hours in graphic detail, followed by a display of fascists forcing young people to participate in four months of psychological, physical and sexual torture via calculated acts of sadism, is bound to strengthen the resilience and morale of younger audiences in need of some education. |
