Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | There is a wikipedia article about f-count in films. Because they are old films the f-count is relatively low. After 1973 the f-count>150 to be on the list. 11 The French Connection 1971 104 minutes 25 Last Tango in Paris 1972 129 minutes 65 The Last Detail 1973 112 minutes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_that_most_frequently_use_the_word_%22fuck%22 The movie I remember which came out when I was age 15 (December 1973) was Serpico |

Options regarding closed captions are available. On many sets you can adjust the color, transparency, font, font size and location. Netflix and Amazon Prime have their own options to display cc in addition to the option on your TV, so you may have to turn one or the other off. |

Ayecarumba Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 89 Posts: 1744 | What makes me the saddest is when the script calls for children to swear. It used to be a "blurt" that was put in as a one time gag, but now it's often a regular part of the character. Why isn't that quashed by the on set "child advocate"? |

More F's in Casino than Out of Compton. Hard to believe. Never heard a single person in my parents generation use it, never. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Almost all language uses in the King's Speech are in a therapeutic context. In one scene the therapist is trying to cure his patient's stutter, and he has him get angry and swear. The man swears continuously for about 35 seconds. The scene is somewhat comical, the swear words are not focused on, and it is strictly in a therapeutic context. This scene is the only reason why the film has an R rating. 18 uses of "f--k" (with 3 being mouthed) 20 uses of "s--t" There are also other minor profanities scattered throughout the movie, such as bloody, hell, damn, bugger, ba---rd and arse. |

It's always bugged me that they have Ralphie in Christmas Story saying the F word. Middle class people in OH in 1939 did not use the word, most had probably never even heard it. But the movie was early 80's and the word was everywhere. Ralphie probably said 'shit', use of that word then would about get you killed by your parents. People were very concerned about what others thought in those days, if your kid used foul language it reflected badly on your whole family. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | An opponent of theatre censorship, Tynan (born 1927) was considered by many to be the first person to say F--- on British television (although this is now disputed), which was controversial at the time. Later in his life, he settled in California, where he resumed his writing career.
Miriam Margolyes later claimed she was the first (in response to getting a question wrong on a college quiz show), but says she was dubbed out so you can only see her face mouthing the word. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | The ads for Welcome to Marwen are repelling. The ads are on all the time, and sure enough, gets a 23% on Rotten. The critics trash it big time. It looks frightening. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
