omg, I saw that movie with my son when he was 14, and he brought a date.. I was sitting next to this 14 year old girl when Will Ferrel's nuts are blown up to the size of the entire screen, and the worst part was that it was the funniest part of the movie, so I was caught between one of the more awkward moments in my parenthood and laughing so hard it hurt..

As for getting attuned to hear a baby cry (or something out of place) I think it is learned.  In the first 16 years of being a parent I was so in tune to my kids sounds, if one of them woke up in an entirely different part of the house, I was instantly awake and sitting up.  And when someone broke in through my son's bedroom window, I was halfway up the stairs with a gun in hand before my wife had even stirred.  Fast forward about 5 years and you could drive a truck through my house and it wouldn't wake me, but my phone on vibrate will still wake me up instantly at 3 am and my reflex is to reach for glasses with one hand while turning on the phone with the other to see who it is.  (calls at 3 am suck ass, they are never good).

As for watching movies, my theater room is fairly soundproofed, no windows, only one door, down in the basement, insulated all around, floor up above was "unsqueaked" when I redid it and is pretty darn well insulated, two walls are solid concrete behind the drywall, the wall the screen is on faces bedrooms, and the 3rd wall is against stairs/laundry space, so it is about as isolated as you could get in my house.  Add the sound system cranked up to reference +10 and you are as effectively disconnected from the rest of the world as you can get.  Thieves could use a backhoe and a dump truck to scrape off my entire first floor while I watch a movie and I wouldn't be any wiser to it until I went upstairs for more popcorn.  I would probably notice Will Ferrel's nuts on my forehead though....  Just sayin.
