The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC ( Comic and Un-aired Spoilers unwelcome!)

[crows]

Or maybe in three years when David Morse makes his first appearance as Negan the world will be enlightened enough to realize that censoring the word **** on a show called The Walking Dead is a little ridiculous.

yeah.... that is never going to happen in this country. People still get freaked out by words you use in middle school like **** or ***

It will probably take another 20 years or so before that happens,

We'll all be skiing and snowboarding the halfpipes made from the frozen flames of hell before that happens.

Bashing open a head in graphic detail with a shovel. OK.

Shooting children in the face. OK.

Verbally speaking another word for "sex". NOT OK.

As long as they don't overuse it, I don't care. Not that it offends me, but sometimes it gets stupid. Like when comics use it to cover up the fact that they're not funny. Same with sex scenes and showing ****s. If it's not necessary, it can look stupid. Of course guys like it.

they can show Uma Thurman kill 88 guys with a sword, showing blood everywhere.... but God Forbid you use a naughty word on tv.
(same goes for horror movies, It's okay to show a guy getting his head cut off, but saying curse words? THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!)

that is becoming a horrible trend, I hate it... I can't stand it.

Every comedy now is replacing funny dialogue and good comebacks or one liners with cursing. It's like they make these 10 minute conversations between characters where all you hear is cursing... not only is it not funny, but it is so annoying.
seems like every comedy has it now. The Heat was like 50% cursing, 50% actual jokes and plot....

Yeah, I actually heard somebody (I think it was a director) say that directors put nude scenes in movies because they have nothing better to show. Basically saying if you are good you don’t need them.

And along the same lines… from the movie Malcom X. A man swears because he doesn’t have the words in his mind to express what he means.

I don't mind a bad word here and there but it can go too far too fast sometimes.

I do like Alec Baldwins speech in Glengarry GlenRoss

He swears guurrrrdd!!

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I'm ready for some new **** to watch. The hell with these season breaks

Can you not put the word **** in your posts please. And I don't mean the word you starred out, I mean ****

Please don't type that.

Exactly. When a show is riddled with F-bombs, you get desensitized to it. They mean nothing. But when in a PG-13 movie (where they only get one, non-sexual F-bomb) you get more mileage out of it. You can either play it for a big laugh or a powerful statement. In an R rated movie, its just another line and packs zero punch.

There is a line in the comic where Negan says "I'm not going to curse here just to show how serious I am." For his character, him NOT using the F-bomb had the same effect as others using one. I think his use of f-bombs comes partly from him not having the vocabulary to express himself better and to put up a front and make him look tougher than he is. Its certainly a big part of his character so it will be interesting to see how the show changes him. The Governor on the show and comic were quite different so I wouldn't be surprised if Negan is changed similarly. I actually felt the show's Governor was better than the Comic's version.

It is funny what we in America think is offensive. Graphic Violence is probably at the bottom. Then foul language. And finally sex and nudity. I think its practically reversed in the UK

That is an interesting observation. I hadn't noticed that before.

 

[Deckard]

As long as Negan doesn't end up like this we're ok

that reminds me of what my College professor used to say about cursing. She said that only ignorant people used those words, That you could get your point across without the need for those words if you were not an ignorant person.

I remember seeing nude girls on TV in south America like in the middle of the day. It was like no one cared, They would show movies or tv shows with nudity with no problems, and I don't remember anyone ever making a fuss about it.
sometimes cursing too, you would hear characters on tv shows curse, I am not sure how things are now, but back then when I Was little I got to see ****s on tv all the time.

Nudity is always okay if it's women they show.

Clearly you haven't seen Six Feet Under.

I totally agree with your prof, you can easily get your point across without swearing but it's just not as much ****ing fun.

Isn't that on HBO or something? I know it's on pay cable. crows was talking regular tv in other countries. I know you'll see a lot of female nudity in Britain and Europe.
