Men In Black is PG-13, isn't it? Serves your parents right for taking a 5 year old to watch it!

In the UK, Men in Black was a PG when released. We had a "12" rating at the time, but that meant 11 year olds couldn't go to the cinema to see it, even with an adult present.

Independence day which came out a year earlier (also with Will Smith) was a 12.

The first ‘12’ general release was I believe for Batman.

I went to see that with my older, cool as fuck aunty who went to university, shaved her head and had a CAR.

All of that was cool as fuck to me.

I felt so grown up going to see that! I was not sure if adults ate sweets (candy) at the pictures so I declined her offer only to see everyone get a stuff!

Ah the pressures of growing up. Spend half your life desperate to be grown and the other half wishing you weren’t!

Sally later confided to me that no adult would go with her to see Batman. Comic book movies except Superman were very much not for ‘adults’ in late eighties Liverpool !
