I was watching Adventures in Babysitting over the long holiday weekend. I remembered it fondly and wanted my kids to see it. It's still a fun movie, but there's more swearing than I remembered. And Playboys.
Anyway, a major plot point of the movie was that they were going into the scary "city" at night. And they encountered all sorts of scary people there. I thought it was laughable, because I remember being afraid of the scary city when I was a teenager, but I'm not afraid of the city now. I mean, I brought my kids to a downtown club a month or two ago to catch a fun band. I kind of forgot that there was good reason to be afraid of "the city" back when Adventures in Babysitting came out. There was a tremendous amount of violent crime back then. It still exists in pockets today, but nothing like back then.
