Well I kinda hoped that UA might have someone who actually watched the films and excercised some judgement, but apparently not.

That was very much the tone though, there is a massive difference between billboards and passing incidents and being trapped in a small metal tube with no control over graphic torture scenes being shown for 2+ hours.

Well from multiple posts this seems to have fallen down in this case. There was a strong sentiment that if it was legal to show then passengers and their kids just needed to suck it up.

I have, for a young child (i.e. one who can't see over the seats) then they'll likely have a view of the screens either side of them. If you put them by the window they'll only be able to see the screen of their parent sat next to them, otherwise I certainly wouldn't chose to watch SAW or similar with a small kid sat next to me, I'm just not that self absorbed.
