Maybe I am actually

a broken record.

#4 Hollyweird thinks it's intellectually chic to curse and show live sex shows on the silver screen? Hollywood has become a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.

#5 Hollywood has no ideas and so just turn out cap. I don't mind cursing, as I do it a lot myself, but when they just use it to replace dialog and acting it is very boring and kills the movie.

#7 Check out the old movies on TV sometime. Recently I watched Them!, Dial M for Murder and Some Like it Hot. Can't remember a single curse word in any of them. But they were highly entertaining.

I think it was on TCM. No advertisements either. Some of the cable movie channels show good movies but interrupt them every ten minutes with five minutes of advertising. Who do they think is watching all those advertisements? I can't.

#8 Congratulations on choosing yet another way to drive away former Democratic voters, guys -- this is how you get more Trump.

#9 Yes. After at least 40 years of overuse, "f---" and "s---" are about as shocking as "the" and "and." But considerably more tiresome.

And, yes, I didn't spell them out because I was raised in the 1940-50s.
