Profanity In Films & Pandering to a Youthful & Black Audience

I'm sure you are right just as there are many who feel words are harmless and once in awhile express one's ideas better than any other word.

On some occasions, like when you drop a brick on your toes, or you're in a car that's about to crash, or you jump out of a plane and your chute won't open, gosh darn it just doesn't cut it.

My Mother (Bless her heart) used to say, "He wouldn't say 'shit' if he had a mouthful of it."

My mother rarely swore and if she did it was hell or damn. My dad used both of those much more often. When the family actually heard my mother say 'shit' we all said 'go mom!!'.
 
My father swore like a sailor... well.. He WAS a sailor during WWII. My mother only used some of the "softer" curse words on occasion. I can swear like a sailor too.. Mom always said I took after my father.
 
My mother occasionally used the softer curse words.
My father rarely cursed, until he was in his 80s - then he cursed quite a bit. Guess at that point he didn't give a damn.

I can outswear a sailor! :D. My dad was also a sailor but I learned my swearwords elsewhere.
 
Really?? Black?

I have no objection to profanity in films when it is used in realistic circumstances as such in real life, however I watched a couple of movies depicting WW 2 where the profanities that were used were not even common place in the 40's particularly among Caucasians. Do the screen writers feel they must do this to attract a black or more youthful audience?

The film business caters to people who can afford to go to or rent movies. The majority of those people are not black!

When the chief was tossing in the fish bait for the shark and he turned and saw the shark the first time, I think he started to say 'you come chuck this shit, but didn't completely say it'. And when he shot the shark at the end he said 'shoot you son of a ....'. Personally there would have been many, many F's in that situation.

For me, too, Ameriscot.

Yup. Mrs. Cleaver in her pearls and high heels cleaning the house. Skinny Laura Petrie and her skin tights!

I once heard a story that Mrs. Cleaver (Barbara Billingsley) had the smallest waist of any TV star at that time. (and maybe since)
 
That day will come sooner when we celebrate the achievements of women of intelligence as much as we are fascinated by the appearance of actresses and models.

We have just lost a lovely old lady whose contribution was to the world of art. She was a class act from whoa to go.

Scroll down the article and you will see the last portrait of her. It was painted by her son.
Even close to the end she radiated a special kind of beauty.
 
Well I am changing my thoughts on some people on this thread. AprilT you are the star of the post and well said the rest of you are just trying to be funny. Not that I am any great judge but JMHO. I will try to get into that spirit more than not. I guess what I am trying to say is you seniors are "we are wild and crazy guys (girls) as they used to say on SNL.
