I DONT EVEN WANNA HEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU WATCH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!pretty much just regular horror flicks. tbh I was drawn in by the "banned in 37 countries" labels on vhs covers at the time.
Jesus I was renting shit like Make Them Die Slowly and I Spit On Your Grave when I was 11I gotta watch this! Sounds killer.
My first R rated film may have been fucking FULL METAL JACKET at the drive through around age 6. I think it was a double feature with Platoon. Platoon didn't really phase me since my dad watched TV shows like Airwolf and the A Team where dudes shot guns a blew shit up all the time, but needless to say Full Metal Jacket was disturbing as fuck to a mind just a year or so removed from spending sunny days lolling down Sesame Street on his way to Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood. I think I was either told to lay down in the back seat eventually or I did so of my own volition.
I heard this story on This American Life about a dude who had a similar experience watching The Shinning at around the same age, only this kid ended up so scarred he couldn't sleep for like three years. I largely forgot about the fucked up shit I had seen the next day. Moral of the story though: parents, don't let your kids watch Kubrick movies until they hit puberty!!!!
Viewing party if we can find it?
On the Subject, at the tender age of ten I was left under the babysitting care of my 16 year old cousin Kate. She sat me down on the couch of my aunt and uncles home(incidentally in Champlain, Minnesota) and put on a movie. It was dusk so the room was still lit as the film came on, but after twenty minutes the room had become completely dark. Kate left for her room to talk on the phone as teenage girls are wont to do and I was left alone. The movie started out being about a girl my own age, it seemed like something I would like, then in the scene about a house party for an astronaut the little girl said "you're gonna die up there" and pissed on the floor, which at first seemed cool. Kate had put on the exorcist, the room was dark and I was too scared to get up and stop watching, or even to go pee. That movie still freaks me the fuck out.
Whoa. I wonder where I can get that. At $20 I could buy several and treat them like shit and toss em when they finally putz out.
