I just knew that Christmas Vacation was PG-13 and he said "fuck" in the movie. I can actually only think of on "fuck" off the top of my head. Multiple "fucks" may be excessive. The first Vacation was R. European and Christmas were both PG-13. Vegas was PG. Each time they dropped the rating, you could tell it lost a little obscenity. The PG-13 movies weren't really watered down. Plus, they seemed to squeeze a little more in a PG-13 back in those days. But with Vegas, you could tell it was a little more family friendly and more watered down in the crude humor department. I don't want them to keep going that direction.

I don't even know why "fuck" garners an R rating anymore if used several times. I mean most kids who are 13 hear or use the word at school at least 50 times or more a day. Also, the fact that "fuck" is even controversial or used in a controversial fashion is just sad to begin with.

Fuck was used plenty of times in "Forrest Gump" and it was PG-13. It always depends on the usage: "Viet - fucking - nam!" was acceptable but I'm sure "Jenny, I'd love to fuck you" would not be.

I only recall them using "fuck" was used during the Abbie Hoffman scene, and it only came through once, every other time there was feedback on the mic. It's stupid either way, since I don't see the need for using it all the time, yet I don't see the problem with the word to begin with.

The only time I remember "fuck" used multiple times was in the awful movie "Entrapment", which used "fuck" three fuckin times. This rule only applies to recent times, since back in the 80's when the PG-13 rule was instituted, there were several movies that used the f word a lot, and even "Just One of the Guys" showed a chick's rack.

Goddammit...Zoolander and Taxi Driver are fine the way they are!

I mean look at Clerks 2, it by no means was a terrible movie. I enjoyed it a lot, but did it need to be made? Hell no. Clerks stood alone as a cult film for so many reasons, the second movie, while good did not give me anything that the first one didn't, except maybe closure I didn't ask for to begin with. Part of the charm of the first movie is knowing that nothing really happened and not knowing where they'll go from there. Taxi Driver is one of those movies that stands alone as being good, deminising the character by bringing them back after so much time only allows for us the viewers to just pity them more than anything else. Hell, just look at Indiana Jones 4...it was like watching the Easter bunny get eaten by a boa constrictor.

I might be ok with it if Ben Stiller directs...please no Will Ferrel though,

I fucking hate Hollywood. I fucking hate them SO much.

What next? "Gone With The fuckin' Wind"?

"Alice in Wonderland director Tim Burton has found a new 3D project. He will direct a stop-motion animated film based on Charles Addams' original ghoulish cartoon drawings of The Addams Family. Illumination Entertainment, the Universal-based family film unit headed by Chris Meledandri, has acquired the underlying rights of the Addams drawings, once a staple of The New Yorker magazine."

Jesus...Tim Burton doesn't know when to quit...

I guess it couldn't be TOO bad with stop motion and the original style.

But we all know Depp and Carter will be Gomez and Morticia.
