She conquered HIM with her bare hands.

I had just graduated from elementary school. To celebrate, my mother, grandmother, and I went to a matinee and dinner.

Like many an 11 year-old, I loved all that sci-fi and fantasy crap (oh man, I just insulted everyone on the internet didn't I). So, I picked Conan. Media filtering wasn't an issue around my house. I'd seen a bunch of R-rated movies.

But, you know it was a little awkward to watch the governator get down with the witch in his barbarian love cave with Grandma there. And, then, there was the orgy chamber.

According to Roger Ebert, it was a stellar choice:

"Not since Bambi's mother was killed has there been a cannier movie for kids than CONAN THE BARBARIAN. It's not supposed to be just a kids' movie, of course, and I imagine a lot of other moviegoers will like it. I liked a lot of it myself, and with me, a few broadswords and leather jerkins go a long way. But CONAN is a perfect fantasy for the alienated preadolescent."

Afterwards, we went to Stuart Anderson's Black Angus and I had the prime rib and baked potato.

Now, I kind of want to see the movie again.
