It’s not like hollywood can’t make a movie without some profanity in every tenth frame an have it sell well. They’d rather not. They’re probably still embarassed that Ingrid Bergman was fully clothed all the way through Casablanca; or that Humphrey Bogart and Claude Raines weren’t swearing every time they spoke.

Art imitates life and life imitates art. But when the spiral is downward, wouldn’t it be nice to see a real leader arise and refuse to follow the lemmings under the whale shit?

How much impact would Rett Butler’s famous line have had if he was swearing all the way through Gone with the Wind? It was shock when shock was needed, not because they were “pushing the envelope” into the dirt.

Yes, CleanFlicks broke copyright law and will now pay the price. But what was the message? Hollowood can make make movies, BLOCKBUSTERS, without the profanity. With a little thought, and a little more editing they can come out with pictures that are enjoyed by more people.

Maybe there is an agenda. Maybe there is a desire to bulldoze all morality from the landscape and put up another brothel. All they need is a few more cheerleaders chanting “Art imitates life, and life is full of obscenities.”
