NoFakie 45 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I recently saw "Sweet Sixteen" by Ken Loach and it has the f-word over 300 times. I only know because there was controversy over censorship. The film got a certificate that stopped sixteen-year-olds from seeing it. No sex or gore in it, either. Link to post Share on other sites

ireallylikebakedbeans 0 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 No thought it was very annoying. I think Bruce Willis most $$$ movie will be the Sixth Sense. Link to post Share on other sites

merryJim 1 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I'm quite surprised War of the worlds is Cruises biggest box office hit. Wasn't it seen as a non performer? Link to post Share on other sites
snobee 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Quite enjoyed Forrest Gump. Querky, topical (without brow-beating) but enough to let us ponder a little, funny, light, a touch sentimental & sloppy plus bits of action. Makes for a comfortable evening at the movies.

NoFakie 45 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 There's a wiki list on the f word http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_ordered_by_uses_of_the_word_%22XXXX%22 Replace the XXXX in the url with the four letter word itself. The leader in the Wiki list is Nil by Mouth. Another grim domestic drama, basically Gary Oldman and Ray Winston doing an adult reprise of the yoof stuff they did on TV for Allan Clarke. I've don't mind fantasy and the integration with old film was done really well, but I thought Forrest Gump was very preachy. Not so much in the main character, but in the contrast with the overblown characature of counter-culture. Anti-Vietnam war movement=BAD! It's in your face. As a sweet story about received wisdom and positivity, "Being There" was done much better. Link to post Share on other sites
snobee 0 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Mr Wigs - agree with you re Being There. A splash of Naive painting there. Didn't really think FG pushed any BIG barrow in particular. Just presented a story touching on a lot of topics leaving the viewer to think a little. No moralizing or so I thought. Link to post Share on other sites
