I used to go to R-rated movies at that age.... my uncle was manager at a KB theater in the DC area.

My mom would take me to the violent ones but not the sexual ones. I remember seeing Black Rain and Dead Poets Society in particular.

ETA: I just found out that Dead Poets Society was rated PG, which I think is way too low for the content.

Little known?!

Once again, I am made to feel old. :(

Zippity Doo-Dah, Zippity-Aye.

Don't worry - I'm younger than DemonSeed, and I got it.;)

One of my classmates bought the dvd set my senior year of high school. We played it one day in class- more than half the class was singing along.

I too though this when a female friend and I went to Knocked Up and a group of people about my grandmas age sate down a few rows ahead of us. However, when the raunchy humor came I think they were laughing just as hard or harder than most of us "youngsters".

We still have SS and ABC's and 123's videos from my youth. I think they've only got a few more years of life in them but my little bro and sis love 'em. *shrug*

When HP3 came out, my daughter wanted to see it. I told her I had to see it first to see if it was too scary for her. At the time, the Dementors would have been too much for her to handle. She didn't see it until last year, and that was in our living room, together. I use sites like Movie Mom and comments from other parents to judge whether or not she can see PG movies, or I just go and see it myself and make the decision. How hard is that?

I loved Song of the South.

It was quite telling but I was too young to get what it was telling. :D

Looney Tunes' racist cartoons aired everyday in the 1980s and early 1990s, as if the cartoons were brand new. They were from the archives but they looked recent to us.

I was 5 in '82 and 18 in '95. I remember the after school cartoons that I watched before I felt too grown to be watching cartoons after school (which happened like, yesterday :D). Stuff like Darkwing Duck wasn't offensive besides the speech empediment (and did the evil person have the typical foreign accent?).

I had just graduated from college when SP the movie came out. It was a big deal for my friends and me because we were SP dorks. I didn't know you were younger than I am. :)

I was most amused at Satan's solo and subsequent high note. Great freakin' movie. "Abooot."

The MUSIC!!! I love the songs. The UN meeting! Ike's harmonica solo!!! The USO show!!

whew...

The trumpets in college marching band used to play "Uncle F*%$*#$" when the Refs made a bad call. It was awesome.:D

South Park controls the universe. :)

Trumpet players. They'll do anything. :rolleyes:

No, there are some things that are beneath them - they leave those things for the trombones/low brass.;):p

It's true. Why do something if no one is focused on you? :cool:


Back to the cartoons...when my kids were little, we had a complete ban on Barney in our house. One of the best decisions we ever made as parents. There is a new pre-schoolers show on Nickelodeon the big kids like for the music cartoons, I can't think of what it's called right now but I think it has punk/ska type references??? the one clip I saw hada ska guy singing about cleaning up your room...hilarious.

Stop playing!! lol
