Maybe I'm the only one in the world, 
but I'm really, really tired of Hollywood movies 
with needless, gratuitous potty mouth.  
I don't think I've seen a movie in the last ten years 
that would have lost a thing if they'd dropped the vile language.
My younger sister said it best:
"when you talk nasty, you make yourself feel nasty
 and you make the people who hear you feel nasty, too."

We all slip up and do it sometimes,
but Hollywood makes a point of including 
just as much obscenity as possible.

I wanted to go see this movie.  
I'll think twice now.
