Completely R-bitrary Information

First R-rated movie I ever saw - Beverly Hills Cop (11 years old at a friend's house on VHS)

First R-rated movie I saw at the theater - Young Guns (12 years old. A friend's dad took us)

First R-rated movie I got grounded for going to - The Last Boy Scout (15 years old - went with a friend and didn't lie when my parents asked what we'd gone to see. Grounding - 1 month. Worth it.)

First R-rated movie I saw theatrically with my parent's permission, but with another adult (my youth pastor) - The Commitments (15 years old)

First R-rated movie I saw theatrically with a parent - Backdraft (15 years old. I paid for my own ticket)

First R-rated movie I saw theatrically without an adult, but with my parents' permission - The Fisher King (15 years old - our parent's made us swear not to lie about our age, if asked)

R-rated movie I nearly got my youth pastor fired for watching with me - Black Rain (16 years old on VHS with several teenaged youth group kids at a non-official church group get-together. I picked out the movie. There was much fallout from unhappy parental types)

First R-rated movie I watched with my own kids - Army of Darkness (ages 7 & 8)

That's awesome.

Also, you have yet to learn what your 40s will do to your balls.

You're welcome.

Army of Darkness wasn't the first for Thing 1 and 2, but Evil Dead 2 was. Simpatico.
