I see very little difference between a swear word during a tense battle scene, than I do seeing limbs fly off of men in realistic ways. Or artillery massacring a formation of troops. Or a fictional nuke eradicating a city.
For some reason one is bad, while the other is not. Yet both are real.
I find it silly. I remember watching NYPB Blue, and seeing Dennis Franzs' fat ugly naked ass (On ABC). I wonder if Dennis was a Denise? Bet you bottom dollar it would have been off limits.
I only watch movies now, DVDS or VHS.
I watched Flight of the intruder last nite on the Military Channel, and was disgusted by how it was butchered. On a channel where people expect a little gore/ language.
But the "naughty Librarian" commercial for glasses, they spam is fine?
At least the movie was not trying to sell me sex, in an attempt to make glasses look cool.
My point is, why cut out the word uhhh... (I can't say it here either) [Feces] in a movie (where he had a SAM missile on his backside, and appropraite to say so in such a case)
They had no problem with Willem DaFoe jamming a knife into a mans neck though.
I feel this thread is more than just about the movies, but how pussified we have become. It just seems like people go out of their way to be offended about stuff in our country.
We really are a bunch of wet ends for allowing it.
