I totally agree, but in lieu of that, I'll take what I can get. And by "kid" I'm really referring to anyone under the age of about 20 years - youthful enough to be interested, but not so young as to not yet possess the cognitive ability to understand and question.

And we must face the truth - the average American (who is, ultimately, the audience that Hollywood created this movie for) has the attention span of a gnat and the memory of a goldfish, so our earnest young hopefuls will already self-identify and stand out above the crowd.

I'll admit a bias to the exceptional - I don't want to babysit, I want to teach.
