I was seeing the movie Rocky Balboa in theaters as a kid and during the final fight scene between Rocky and Antonio Tarvar's character, when Rocky starts making a miraculous comeback and the crowd around me was hooting and hollering, I heard the woman sitting directly behind me yell, "Yes Rocky! Kill that (n-word)!" But, you know, uncensored, hard R. I don't remember a single other thing that happened in the movie and I still can't fully believe it even really happened because no one else said anything to her????

When I was seven, an 80s movie aired on TV, and I watched it until my mom turned it off at bedtime. I cried, wanting to see the rest, but she refused, and I eventually fell asleep. The next day, I couldn’t remember the movie’s name, so I never finished it—until today. It aired again, and the experience was surreal; I remembered every detail and finally saw the ending.

I think I was like four or so? Mom was in discipliinary mode for some reason (being a "hard mommy") and so I took off down the street when she wasn't paying attention and hung out with the lady who occasionally babysat me and my kid brother. Vivid memory of watching Merrie Melodies cartoons in the front room/living room when mom came rolling in and looked like she wanted to kill me. This was olden times LBC and I'm pretty sure we were living in what ultimately became Crips territory -- wasn't so scary then but would be years later.

my first ever memory in a cinema hall (probably ever actually), cause I was 3 when it came out, but i have this vivid memory of me being absolutely blown away at the train fight seqeunce sitting in one of the front rows with my entire family. even my non-english speaking grandma was there. will forever be etched into my memory.

Seeing everything at a concert. Touching the ceiling for a really good stretch. Giving your own dad a curfew. Being tall is really it

A master at writing genre fiction as literary fiction. Multiple narratives, stellar characters, a time-hopping, pre- and post-apocalyptic plot, and a killer miniseries adaptation to watch once you’re finished

I only saw her perform twice, but I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else live more than once (though I obviously would like to see a lot of them live again). At least I can say one of the times I saw her was her very first US performance 🥹💔
