Pic is from Alita: Battle Angel. I thought it was a well-chosen moment, in a strange, otherworldly film to suddenly drop this, and left me feeling hyped up for the good guys.
The fact that we have to be shielded from the bad word “fuck” in media in this day and age is somewhat outrageous in itself.
I find it amusing that language is classified based upon frequency of use. If your average thirteen year old hears fuck once, maybe they’ll be okay - but how profane for them to hear it twice or even three times in a two hour timespan.
The Martian. Watney survives a wind storm after his crewmates make an emergency escape, thinking he was dead. He wakes up, had to perform surgery on himself… Once he finishes he lays back realizing the fact that he is now stuck on Mars alone and says “fuck.” Always loved how Matt Damon acted in that scene
Oblivion had a good one, but not nearly as good as Alita.
Oblivion’s was similarly stated as the “big bad guy” was defeated.
Trains, Planes and Automobiles. A lot more than one F bomb … but since they all occurred in a single furious, scathing diatribe by a human pushed to the end of his limits I hope we can allow it.
I love that scene. If they had used just one “fuck” the movie would have been PG-13, but they deliberately had him lay out a string of curses to show just how pissed he was, which pushed it up to R
Man, I’m so sad that Alita’s story won’t ever get a continuation. I tried to read the manga, but it just wasn’t as good.
