cruisin'

[lauralh]

Yesterday after work I read Queen of the Damned and ingested rum and narcotics till I was no longer moaning on the floor in sheer agony. This reminded me of being a child and never ever watching R-rated movies. My first one was Heathers, which is a little risque to cut your teeth on, so to speak. I think the first one I watched in the company of my parents was actually Interview with the Vampire. I distinctly recall being forced out of the room while my parents cued past the naked girl scene. You know, the Parisian theater of the vampires thing. Wasn't allowed to watch it. The rest of the movie was fine, though.

anyone else have any stupid parent tricks?

Yeah, I couldn't go past the hallway opening while my parents watched Beverly Hills Cop only 100 feet away.

Because, you know, hallway openings are soundproof barriers to Eddie Murphy yelling, How would you like me to have the IRS come down here and crawl up your ass with a fucking microscope?

nice. my parents usually watched stuff in the master bedroom with the door closed.

I remember once, I couldn't have been more than seven, watching some crime drama with them, and this guy said "fucking" something or other and I whispered "HE SAID A BAD WORD." and my mom was like "HE SURE DID."

you best get right with god, sinner

My parents did let me watch extremely violent R-rated movies at a fairly young age (seven-eight), but if there was a flash of booby, I had to cover my eyes or leave the room.

I remember being banished to my room when my mom and her friend watched 'Blue Velvet'.

that part where frank turns to the audience/jeffrey and says "you're like me" always makes me so fucking uncomfortable. that and the vagina-dental scuplture thing that jeffery has on his wall in his bedroom (that i heard lynch's wife made, which makes it somewhat more personally creepy)
