Personally, I curse when it happens, but I control it and it’s not a common thing in my vocabulary. I work with this guy, he seems like he can’t even complete a sentence without cursing. And it’s completely unneccessary, it’s not like it helps to the description to things or anything, and it’s like a little kid and his mother can be standing right there and he can’t control himself for that 2 minutes while they are in earshot to keep the cursewords down. Or I have him on speakerphone because my hands are busy with other things (and you can tell when someone has you on speakerphone) and he doesn’t think for one second that there might be other people there and to keep his language in check. Seriously, is it THAT hard to speak like a normal human being without cursing after every third word, I mean seriously, is it THAT important that you think somehow the story you’re telling or the thing you are describing to someone will be inaccurate because you left out the precious curse words? I mean come on…

But if really bugs me to have a movie that goes the other way.
Perfect example for me is Blade 3. They just seemed to cram any and every swear they possibly good, and after a while it just gets boring.

A bit of swearing in extreme situations makes sense to me. Swearing for the sake of swearing is just annoying.

I think it’s weird, but like I said, I’d rather them cut the curse words than cut the violence for the rating, so I’m kind of glad that the rating system is ONLY picky about curse words, gore, and nudity while ignoring violence.

There are instances where the language thing sticks out as unnatural, but it’s not very often. Most of the time I don’t even notice it.

I’ve seen gunshot wounds where you can’t even tell the person has been shot except for a little bit of blood at the site of the broken skin. Then you see the gunshot wounds where there is blood everywhere. It really depends on what that bullet hits after it goes in. If it doesn’t hit anything that bleeds like a major organ or an artery, it actually wouldn’t really bleed. I’ve seen a guy shot 23 times, alive, conscious, and talking, and there’s not much blood to be found. Well, he was a big guy (fat) so that could account for that, and a lucky guy, that none of the 9mm’s hit anything vital. He bled a bit out of both his arms, but pressure bandages were enough to control that, so it wasn’t much, but just about all of the body shots didn’t really result in any bleeding.

And even if it does hit an artery or something else that causes bleeding, often times it’s AFTER the shot, meaning you’re not going to see a huge splash of blood as he’s getting hit, you’ll see a sort of “mist” then after that guy goes down, you see the blood rushing out. But movies tend to make it seem like everyone that gets shot is a mortal kombat character getting punched or something… I think it’s silly in my opinion, and would actually rather them simply show a mist or some kind of reaction from the shot without all of the excessive blood and guts flying everywhere… About the cursing, true it’ll be more realistic since people do curse in real life, but all I’m saying is that it doesn’t bother me at all if they cut that out to lower the rating as long as no plot essential thing was cut out for that reason. Lower rating = bigger audience. It’s a business afterall, might as well run a smart business.

And “50 cent” or half dollar or whatever his face being replaced by any non-rapper will be a big plus…

That’s what drives me nuts about PG-13 movies: all of the violence, none of the consequences (blood, agony, etc).

No, I’m somone who lives in the real world. Where people swear and bleed when they get shot (Supposedly anyway, I’ve never seen an actual shooting ).

Is Jim Kelly still around? You all remember him right? He was the black guy in Enter the Dragon. He’s probably too old, though, if he’s still around. Richard Roundtree would be good.
