move out and draw fire

Wizards.

I saw it in the theater with my dad, who probably took his 7yo daughter ebcause hey! animated.

I'd already been permanently scarred by Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Yellow Submarine though.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has some seriously weird moments.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I was three, and my mom had to carry me screaming from the theater. The dancing, singing flowers in Alice in Wonderland freaked my shit out--flowers do NOT sing and dance! I still have echoes of a nightmare wherein Brer B'ar and Brer Fox threatened me with a handgun made of a rolled-up sheet of white paper.

I was a timid child, with an unclear demarcation between real and fantasy. Haven't really changed all that much. ETA: But the takeaway here is: Disney is evol. I've still never seen Bambi in a theater.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I don't remember it, but I apparently flipped out like a mammal during Fantasia -- it was alternately boring and scary, IIRC.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I know I must have seen Disney at an earlier age, but the first one I remember seeing is The Arisocats at the drive-in when I was around five. I was about that same age when I saw Sound of Music on one of its many rereleases. The earliest grown-up movie (not rated R) film I saw was The Sting at the age of seven. My first rated R film was The Blues Brothers when I was 14.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My first R-rated movie was So Fine. Because that was the first movie I drove to with friends.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The only movie I remember freaking out over, in a theater, was Jaws. I was 7 and I remember hiding under my dad's coat for most of the movie.

And the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang wigged my shit for a long time.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

My first R-rated movie was So Fine. Because that was the first movie I drove to with friends.

I think my first R-rated movie was Coming to America. Which I saw with my parents in a dollar theater. And I think it was the first time I saw breasts.
