The use of profanity and expletives in films has always been controversial, but has increased significantly in recent years. Especially the use of the word “fuck” in media has always attracted criticism; in 2005 the documentary Fuck dealt entirely with this phenomenon.
This is a list of films containing at least 100 spoken uses of the word “fuck” (or one of its derivatives), ordered by the number of such uses.
Informative blog post, isn’t it?
Knocked Up: Pretty funny sleeper film. I see it becoming another cult classic like Office Space or Swingers. I’ll buy it on DVD.
1408: Eh, it was ok. Certainly not as scary as I anticipated going in. I mean, what can be done with 1 guy in a hotel room, really?
Transformers: Jesus damn christ! Rarely a movie comes along that meets or exceeds my expectations to the level this movie did. I have to say I loved the movie much more than any of the IIIs (Shrek III, Spidey III or Pirates III). In fact, hollywood hasn’t pushed these buttons since Lord Of The Rings III, Armageddon or Gladiator!
Hmm, and to think I still fit my Transformers Underoos from 1984. Go figure.

“Transformers,” the big-budget movie about alien robots battling on Earth, raked in $67.6 million at box offices over the weekend to land at No. 1 and bring its seven-day total to a record $152.6 million, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
Computer-animated “Ratatouille,” about a cuisine-loving rat who longs to be a chef in Paris, fell one notch from last week to come in No. 2 with $29 million, boosting its 10-day total to $109.1 million, and action adventure “Live Free or Die Hard,” starring Bruce Willis, was No. 3 with $17.4 million.
“Transformers” is based on the 1980s toys that shift shape from cars and planes to become alien Autobots and Decepticons warring against each other here on Earth.
The toys have built a loyal fan base of mostly boys and young men, and they turned out in droves for the movie. But curiously, the film’s co-producers at Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks said the second-biggest group of supporters was mothers, who recommended the movie almost unanimously.
“We knew we had hard-core fans who wanted to come, (but) literally every one of the (major audience) groups turned out,” said Rob Moore, president of worldwide marketing and distribution at Paramount.
Many movie-goers have been emailing to find out about the mysterious trailer being played in front of “Transformers.” When friends went to see the movie, as soon as the trailer came on, half the theater got their cell phones out to record it. Now, one ended up on the internet and you can check it out here.
A coworker put me onto this site during one of our “really busy” periods at work. And when I say “really busy”, I mean “laxatives are on sale this time of year”.
You can literally watch hundreds or thousands of streaming movies instantly, including most, if not all of the current flicks in the theaters.

P.S. Apparently I can’t link directly to the specific video so scroll down the right side for the “Britney Spears - What An Ass” video.
K, I’m sorry… I’m looking forward to the upcoming Spielberg/Bay flick this Independence Day, and I’ve got to give these guys props for being so creative, but jesus. They just scream GEEK!

Ok, on the “wow factor” scale, this is off the charts. Jesus I want one but alas, its a wedding year and they run for between $5-$10,000 US.
Microsoft Corp. will unveil a coffee-table-shaped “surface computer” Wednesday in a major step towards co-founder Bill Gates’s view of a future where the mouse and keyboard are replaced by more natural interaction using voice, pen and touch.
Microsoft Surface, which has a 30-inch display under a hard-plastic tabletop, allows people to touch and move objects on screen for everything from digital finger painting and jigsaw puzzles to ordering off a virtual menu in a restaurant.

Microsoft’s coffee-table-shaped “surface computer” hopes to one day replace the mouse and keyboard with voice recognition, pen and touch.
It also recognizes and interacts with devices placed on its surface, so cell phone users can easily buy ringtones or change payment plans by placing their handsets on in-store displays, or a group of people gathered round the table can check out the photos on a digital camera placed on top.
Microsoft (Charts, Fortune 500), the world’s largest software maker, said it will manufacture the machine itself and sell it initially to corporate customers, deploying the first units in November in Sheraton hotels, Harrah’s casinos, T-Mobile stores and restaurants.
The company is selling the Surface for between $5,000 and $10,000 each, but aims to bring prices down to consumer levels in three to five years and introduce various shapes and forms.
Damn for damn, this totally trounces my Slinky and Rubix Cube!

A friend just brought me back a small bottle of Tequila, and Gonzo decided to drink it back, along with the worm.
