I thought that was something adults did.

But sometimes it didn't work.

One time, though, I'll tell you the first 15 I ever got into was Gremlins was rated 15 in the UK.

SmartLess
"Edgar Wright"

Because in the US, it was one of the first PG-13s, right?

SmartLess

And me and my brother, I was 10 and my brother was 12.

We went up to the cinema manager with a copy of the novelization of Gremlins.

and said to the manager, hey, we've already read the book, so we know what happens, so we're not going to be scared, so you should let us in.

And it was a matinee, and it was pretty quiet, and the manager looked around and said, get in there.

And it was honestly the most exciting screening of my life, because at any moment you thought somebody's going to come in and say, you shouldn't be in here, you're not 15.

SmartLess
"Edgar Wright"

That's great, I love that.

It's not as big as it is in LA.

But then if I have one bugbear about Halloween...

SmartLess
"Edgar Wright"

is that in Los Angeles, it seems to go on for three fucking months.

SmartLess
"Edgar Wright"

I mean, Halloween starts at the end of August.

SmartLess
"Edgar Wright"

It's ridiculous.

SmartLess
"Edgar Wright"

You know what I've done?

You know what?
