Angel ,'Just Rewards (2)'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Hair being PG was just ridiculous. It had skinny dipping, swearing, sexual language ("Sodomy" led me to look up several words in the dictionary), and loads of stuff that would immediately give it an R rating today. That PG rating is probably the reason Dad thought it would be safe to take my sister and me to see it after we begged him.
My first R film was The Blues Brothers.
My first R-rated movie was Cocktail, but I saw it on VHS. No clue what my first in-theatre R was.
Am I the only one who didn't know there are real crystal skulls?
Nope. I didn't find out until after seeing the movie.
Huh. SatC had a bigger opening weekend than Indy.
Ok, now I'm trying to remember what my first rated R movie WAS.
I have no idea.
Stand By Me!
Now I remember!!
The plot of Temple of Doom is about Indy needing to recover Shiva's junk.

Apparently I've repressed it even more than I realized.
SatC had a bigger opening weekend than Indy.
Really? Didn't Indy break $100 million? Was the three-day total under $55 million? SATC had a bigger opening weekend than Prince Caspian, too.
Huh. SatC had a bigger opening weekend than Indy.
Given that
1) SatC is the only movie (in the year I've been here) that has been announced on the marquee of my local theater in advance, and
2) had people (with tickets) waiting in line 1/2 hour before the show,
3) had people in the audience cheering as the lights dimmed,
I'm not surprised.

Oh yeah. In 7th grade English we each had a dictionary under our desks. Man was I popular in 7th grade English.
