Must be movie ratings enforcement was lax back then, too. A couple of weeks ago I was in line at the theater behind two young kids who couldn't have been older than 12-13, and the employee at the box office sold them tickets to the R-rated "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter," no questions asked. |

| | Posted: | | | | My son went to see Porky's when he was too young to get in. I objected about this to him, not because it was about sex, but because its attitude toward the girls was immoral. I was willing to let him see a porn flick because they treated women better.
I still object to the morality (lack of, that is) of Risky Business.
Lenny Bruce said he'd rather his daughter saw a stag movie than King of Kings, because he assumed at some time she would have sex (and he thought that was normal) but Christians believed that Christ would return someday and she need not get any ideas about killing Christ. | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

If you're gonna hate on that, well, haters gonna hate I guess. I know.. It was my first R-rated movie. My dad bought us tickets as we had an older freind in that really wanted to see it, and I convinced my Dad that I'd be ok with it. But they're probably right, that movie scarred me for life... | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707

A couple of weeks ago I was in line at the theater behind two young kids who couldn't have been older than 12-13, and the employee at the box office sold them tickets to the R-rated "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter," no questions asked. I used to be a Head Usher, Asst. Manager, and finally Manager of local theaters in the 70's & 80's. I was known as a Son of a Female Dog to those under 16, (plus the employees and their friends) as I made sure the ratings were adhered strictly. I was only 16 myself and lost a few friends back then. Today I see the way the Ushers, and Box offices are run and can only shake my head. These days I wonder why they even call them ushers. In those days we were there to help the customers, keep smokers from lighting up, asked people to stop talking out loud during the film, and even asked those folks with crying babies to take them to the back of the theater or outside. Maybe I am an old fogy. But I was proud of my actions to help theater goers enjoy their movie experience. Yep I am lost in my past. Bobb | | | | Do Cheshire Cats drink evaporated milk? |
