Yes, that's right. The flashback feature for the week is none other than Back to the Future. Ahhh, yes. One of my first experiences with the time-travel genre. Always good for a laugh - and always a good time. And I say this as someone who grew up with the "severely edited version". My mom taped it off tv... she only taped what we were allowed to see... we wound up with a 45 minute version of the film. Suffice it to say, you have to know the movie really well to be able to follow the version we had. The part where George's up in the tree? Cut - because he was doing the Peeping Tom thing, which was highly inappropriate. The fact that Marty ended up in the house (in Lorraine's room... wearing "Calvin Kleins") - gone. For obvious reasons. George cleaning Biff's clock at the dance? Gone, because Biff wasn't being very nice to Lorraine (in the erm... backseat of his car). ...I could go on and on. Like I said, I grew up with the severely edited version. Which makes the fact that I'm gonna see the whole, uncut movie in a theater even that much more exciting. (Yes, that's right. I'm a 34 yr old rebel. And you can tell my mom, I don't even care.)

I love that your mother kept you in a moral bubble.
Your Mom reminds me a lot of Curt's. They weren't allowed to watch Scooby Doo nor were they allowed to have FrankenBerry or Count Chocula in their home, they were monsters.
I hope you enjoy your movie.
