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. ;)

    • The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
