| 3061 | Article | Vaporman87 | My parents were not concerned with what I watched growing up, so long as they knew it didn't contain nudity. And even so, I still somehow managed to see the occasional slip of some skin in some major film releases. And today, I don't see that as a good thing. In fact, it's pretty disappointing to me that my parents didn't care enough to restrict what I was seeing. Maybe some think that they really had it made if they shared a similar childhood stripped of too many restrictions on movies. But I don't feel that way. I feel like my parents neglected to attempt to teach me some very important lessons that arise from watching certain things. In short, I didn't (and in some ways, still don't) feel like I was important enough to them to make an effort. Now that I'm a father, I make every attempt to avoid watching rated R movies. The only exposure to questionable content that I have allowed myself to experience has been in the form of games, like Watchdogs and Fallout 3. And even then, I hate that I have to see and hear certain things in order to enjoy the games as a whole. I want my kids to grow up knowing that I cared enough to restrict what they saw, because I wanted them protected and wanted them to make adult choices when it comes to what they see. There are certain things that kids are responsible enough to make choices with, but film choice is not among them. Given too much freedom, bad choices will eventually be made and their mental and emotional health can suffer. I know mine did. I was more frightened and confused as a child than I could have been, many times because of things I watched. Had I not seen certain things, I know that I would have felt less nervous and concerned about death and sexuality. I'm not going to allow that to happen to my own children. | Rated R for RAD | Nov 02, 2015 | |
| 3082 | Article | echidna64 | My parents weren't very strict on R-Rated movies. I would actually leave the room on my own if the movie was too "sick" or scary. When I was ten, my dad took us to the movies to see Flubber but it was sold out so we saw Starship Troopers instead, my first R-Rated theater experience and by gawd it was awesome! | Rated R for RAD | Nov 04, 2015 | |
| 3041 | Article | Vaporman87 | I would say I was equally fascinated and disturbed by Beetlejuice when I saw it in theaters the first time. I had not seen a Tim Burton film up to that point (had anybody?) and so this was a whole different kooky and crazy world filled with odd characters and beautiful but dark set pieces. I loved the movie though. The cartoon and merchandise did not interest me as much. I did catch episodes of the cartoon, but was not "hooked", and I never owned any Beetlejuice merchandise. With rumors swirling around about a sequel these past couple of years, my appreciation for the original has increased. I do hope a sequel eventually makes it to the screen, but could it possibly match the novelty or creativity of the first? | Beetlejuice Bonanza | Oct 28, 2015 | |
| 3043 | Article | GoonieGirl | As a childhood chicken, Beetlejuice was a little on the scary side for me. I do remember watching a few of the cartoon episodes, though. They were more funny than scary (which I appreciated) and the animation was fun. P.S. I have to say, your podcast is pretty hilarious. I highly recommend it :) | Beetlejuice Bonanza | Oct 29, 2015 | |
| 3044 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 It really is an unforgettable film. I think a lot of us unknowingly saw a Tim Burton film before Beetlejuice and Batman. A little movie called Pee-Wee's Big Adventure ring a bell? @GoonieGirl Thanks for giving the podcast a shot. It's a lot of fun to put together and I'm glad you're enjoying it. | Beetlejuice Bonanza | Oct 29, 2015 | |
| 3023 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ha! That is an awesome story. And only we here know the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I'm glad that the whole incident didn't end your burgeoning relationship with Sarah (curious... did you ever confess to her of your repeatedly listening to Starship's "Sara"? - Come on... you know you did that!). <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/32ScTb6_KHg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I have little doubt that all of us have had similar events occur in which we got away with our lie and never confessed the truth to anyone. Unfortunately for those like me, terrible liars, those are few and far between. | The Secret to How I Broke My Collarbone | Oct 27, 2015 | |
| 3025 | Article | massreality | Vapor... I forgot about listening to Sara on a loop. Thank you for that. I'm way more embarrassed about that than lying about how I broke my collarbone. | The Secret to How I Broke My Collarbone | Oct 27, 2015 | |
