We saw Gone Girl, and a lot of F, MF, and C. No doubt the book had it there as well.

Last night saw BirdMan - yikes. Couldn't count the vast # of Fs and MFs etc.

Imitation Game and Theory of Everything, as expected was not crude. American Sniper, a bit.

Pls before you say. "well it's your choice to see a movie"...I know, but c'mon. We wanted to see some of the Best Pictures nominees.

Again, it just seems that Hollywood is getting SO crude. Next thing we know a remake of Mary Poppins will be R rated.
I must be getting old. Need a nap.

Agree it has gone totally beyond reason. You have to decide what you're willing to tolerate and what is acceptable and for that reason we have not been to an R rated movie in years. Continuous streams of vulgarity do nothing for the movie and it's one thing to hear it occasionally and another to go where we know it will be intense or even worse bring it into our home. Though an occasional F bomb was heard when I was in the service it was nothing compared to the never ending string portrayed in some of the movies today.

This is a very good site to know what's going to be in a movie and even how many times it will be said. Click on complete content analysis for the details.
