Movie language, too many expletives spoil the plot?

It depends on the context of the film or show. For The Sopranos, for example, it has lots and lots of profanity but it fits given the way the characters are. If its some teen comedy and everyone's saying "f*ck this" and "f*ck that" then it would probably seem more gratitious.

It really depends for me. I can't think of any films, off the top of my head, that it particularly bothered me in, but most of those movies are bad whether they they have lots of cussing or not!

I didn't care for the 40 Year Old Virgin much myself. I did watch the whole thing, and I didn't think it was all that funny. Pretty forgettable really.

But some directors know how and when to use expletives effectively. Quentin Tarantino is one of my favorite directors, and he writes biting, fast pasted, and memorable dialog. He knows how to use language effectively!

Kevin Smith did have some of the same skills in his early films. He too knew how to use expletive effectively!

I do love that word. But too much of it ruins it. it's like, "Hey! Let's focus on what's going on! F*ck does not have to be everywhere!"

But in Shaun of the Dead... it does seem necessary to have that word there every so often...

ya it does.

(Bleep) No.
