Pic is from Alita: Battle Angel. I thought it was a well-chosen moment, in a strange, otherworldly film to suddenly drop this, and left me feeling hyped up for the good guys.

The fact that we have to be shielded from the bad word “fuck” in media in this day and age is somewhat outrageous in itself.

And showing someone getting killed in a horrific way is good enough to show in media but show one tit or hear one fuck and everybody loses their mind. It’s stupid is what it is

Americans seem to be very afraid of things in their kids’ stead.

The indoctrination and brainwashing is a complicated process.

You have to control the information and life events just right to get the desired drone output.

I find it amusing that language is classified based upon frequency of use. If your average thirteen year old hears fuck once, maybe they’ll be okay - but how profane for them to hear it twice or even three times in a two hour timespan.

Be Cool, the sequel to Get Shorty.

They are literally driving in the car talking about how you only get one F word if you want to stay pg13 and Chilli Palmer says “Fuck that”

And its the only one in the movie.

I never knew there was a sequel. I liked the first one quite a bit. I’ll check that out.

I am a big fan of the F bomb that gets dropped in Dude Where’s My Car. Fed up crazy old grandma runs over the protagonists (if you can call them that) Then raises a middle finger and says something like "F’n stoners*. Classic.

The Martian. Watney survives a wind storm after his crewmates make an emergency escape, thinking he was dead. He wakes up, had to perform surgery on himself… Once he finishes he lays back realizing the fact that he is now stuck on Mars alone and says “fuck.” Always loved how Matt Damon acted in that scene

I posted The Martian elsewhere with a link to an article. They got two “fucks” in.

It’s good but the book has a number of well used fucks that the movie suffered for lacking.

Then again, the book is to the movie what an Olympic beacon is to a birthday candle. The movie isn’t bad, but the book is just so much MORE.

Also, if you were stranded on another planet, a few F bombs are the least of your problems. I love it when he gets back in contact with earth. He has to actively work to bring his social skills back into line.
