Getting into an R rated movie


Recommended Posts

Some friends asked me to buy them tickets to an R rated movie. Their parents said it's OK. The problem is, I can't go to the movie with them, and the local theater requires that someone 17 or older attends the show with the minors.

My question is, if I bought them tickets online, could they just walk right in? Think it'd work?

Peace,

Pete Zaria.

Why don't they just roll through confidently and try to get in? We seriously just buy tickets and walk right in to every movie, maybe we look older than 16..

Are the movies there really that strict? I don't think they really care unless your friends are 14 or something.

Nah they're both 16. I used to get carded at movies all the time, especially on friday nights...

But they card you at the ticket booth where you buy them, not inside the theater. So my question is, if I bought them tickets online, do you think they'd get in? I dont see any reason why not...

I'm hoping maybe I can get off work early and just go with them, lol. Is Jarhead any good?

Peace,

Edit: BTW I wouldn't buy them tickets except I know it's OK with their parents.

No need to buy online. Just go to the booth without them and ask for however many tickets you want. They won't ask you who they are for and if they do just act like your a bit offended because its none of their business and just say they are for your friends. The problem still lies with getting them into the screen. If you can, try to avoid the people who rip your ticket in half. Once there was a massive queue for the ticket ripping in half man so me and my brother went under the rope that was supposed to keep you out and nobody even noticed.

ok it seems R means 16+ so i'll assume that,

Either take an adult or find someone there to say your an adult.

OR

if at least 1 of them is a girl then just partner with one of them and make it look like your together, you'll get in.

17+ (17 inclusive) I know because I just went to the MPAA's site to check it out. NC-17 is basically the same thing only it?s 17+ (17 exclusive) and you can?t bring people underage.

well, all what they asked me for (the rare times i actually went to see a movie) they just asked for my high school student card, which didn't even have a birthdate on it. and when I saw 14A movies, they just asked what year I was born in.

Basically, they are usually only strict on "just opening" films, after a week or two they don't really care.

then again...

Rated R means 17+ can go in without an adult.

And "adult" is considered 21+.

So in order for them to get in legally, they have go in with someone 21+.

For me, before I was of age, we never went to R movies on opening night. There's too many ushers and I.D checking to get in comfortably. We usually wait a few weeks and wait for the hype to die down. Even so, some theatres are still picky. So we have to know the environment of each theatre. If when me and my friend wanted to go to an R movie, we would goto the theatre where the staff is limited, in which I.D checking is not really necessary.

Or, you can just buy the tickets for them, and hope they don't get carded. Tell them not to shave for a few days and let the stub grow in. It adds to the age. ;)

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
