My dads brother visited us one time - when I was around 7 years old - and they sent me to bed and watched a movie together on TV. I'm not sure where my mom was, perhaps taking care of my little brother, but I quietly went down the stairs and saw them watching the movie, and I stayed very quietly so they would not know I'm there.

It was a Bruce Lee movie, "The Big Boss (1971)". In that movie Bruce works at a ice factory and his boss kills some people and puts them into the ice. That's not the worst of it. They then have those big ice blocks and a big blade saw and that saw cuts the big blocks into smaller peaces. It also cuts those bodies in the ice blocks into smaller pieces.

I couldn't believe what I saw and went back upstairs and couldn't fall asleep. I never told my parents.

There was a movie with Rosie O’Donnell called Exit to Eden. My mom was not particularly uptight about us seeing R rated stuff and the previews made it look like a slightly dirty comedy. It was Rosie O’Donnell in like…the 90’s so I mean…she did not look into it any further than that.

Turns out it’s basically a soft core porno with a couple funny bits and it was extremely awkward to sit through.

The movie (that I literally didn't know existed until right this moment) is based on a novel by Anne Rice, under the pen name Anne Rampling.

She also wrote a series of BDSM novels about Sleeping Beauty under the pen name A. N. Roquelaure.

I’ve read the sleeping beauty ones (knew what I was getting into with that)…but literally never knew that about the movie!
