I have to say it bothers me greatly. I was thinking that there was another side to this story, and now that I've heard it, I'm fairly appalled.
Leaving that aside: Ian, thank you for posting here. After reading your comments and the notes that the policy, in fact, is limited to children entering the theater after 6, I admit that I'm not honestly as concerned as I was before, and I'm actually pretty happy that there's a theater with an 'adult swim' policy this close to my home. There are plenty of other theaters in the area that don't have such restrictions, many of them completely accessible via public transportation, so I really don't have a problem with the Somerville instituting this policy. The original article was clearly much more alarmist than it needed to be.
