I dunno what my first R-rated movie was. I grew up on HBO and have a very early memory (pre-6) of going into the kitchen to ask my mother, who had a friend visiting, why the man and the woman on TV went into a room and took their clothes off. I saw that movie again a couple of years ago and recognized that very same scene and I guess I was lucky that I left the room when I did. Elsewise I would have had some much harder questions for my mother.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I think my first R rated movie was Little Darlings. Or maybe Saturday Night Fever. Blah, don't remember and am too lazy to look up dates.

The first R rated movie I saw in the theater was Rain Man, I think.

Compassionately intolerant
My father took me to see Barbarella when I was 9. Yeah. He was a freak.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I guess technically, mine was the Bo Derek Tarzan when I was like 7. But it was at a drive-in with my parents, so I'm pretty sure I fell asleep. I do remember her boobs sticking straight up, though!

When I was working at a local theatre I saw some parents dragging their toddlers and infant into a 9pm showing of Empire, which was so many kinds of wrong. But this was NYC where I once saw a mother and her tiny tots on a train at 3 in the morning like it was no big.

move out and draw fire
I think mine was Tess. If that wasn't R rated, it should have been, coz no kid should be forced to sit through a Hardy adaptation without fair warning.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I just saw Indy 4 over the weekend and like Miracleman, I was severely disappointed. What.a.piece.of.trash.
I put my head in my hands when we saw the fucking prairie dogs for the 11th time after the nuclear bomb explosion.
The movie never recovered from that in my estimation. I too grumbled at the monkeys, the aliens, the waterfalls, the ants(!), invincible Indy who never got bloodied, the introduction of the FBI for no discernible reason.
Man. Glad that movie experience is over.

le nubian, I'm so glad that I'm not the only one peeved to see the abundance of prairie dogs (especially since they were fake!).
Did I mention yet that the next day after seeing Indy I went for a hike through some giant anthills? Yes? It bears repeating. They bit me. I was wearing sandals. My ankle still itches.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was about to post that I had little recollection of any movies I saw between Cinderella and Wayne's World, but I actially saw Tess... on a friends HBO Which actually inspired a lifelong love of Hardy!
