I saw Scarface when I was quite young. Or rather, I saw a little of it, but heard some of the rest. I think my jaw dropped at the amount of swearing. I saw it a few years ago. I think my jaw dropped at the amount of swearing. That's pretty much what I remember it for.

On the small screen, it felt rather bombastic, but on the big screen it was remarkable.

Swearing in movies can be fine but not when every line of dialogue has it. Wolf of Wall street was pretty bad in that regard. The Continuing Adventures of the Postboot Legion!

OP Rockhopper Lad Fabulous and Sparkly! Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 22,669 The Pyngwyn Colonies I don't mind the odd swear word, but gratuitous swearing really annoys me. I read this book once where the author repeatedly used the vulgar term for excrement just for shock value. It was awful.

Using swearing to drive the occasional point home is fine, but unless the piece of work is a satire or comedy writing I agree it would be terrible. And even then, good writers should not rely on swearing to make things funny. The Continuing Adventures of the Postboot Legion! You can also check out the Recap Thread here.

However, if you use too much, the sentence is too spicy and unpalatable. Keep up with what I've been watching lately! "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you."
