But why would they even want to do that? It is more realistic to have these characters cursing, they are rough people.

Good arguements, but I'd like to note that they all appeared to be speaking the same language (save for a tiny bit of Kree). Quill was able to understand all of it, so I think we're meant to believe that he too is speaking in alien and we the audience are hearing the English equivalents.

I respect your opinion, Dyland, but I think you have some unrealistic expectations. The D-bomb you mentioned is mostly considered the most minor and inoffensive curse of all, and I rarely see anyone on this forum or otherwise bother to censor themselves when they use it. I'm sorry if this has caused you any offence, but from my experience this has proven to be true. It may not be right, but it's the world we live in.

If I'm honest, while I don't condone their regular usage, I'm glad curse words exist, and I'm glad people find ways of using them creatively. Otherwise, how would we express moments of great-to-extreme emotion? They shouldn't be used regularly, as then we become desensitised to them, but I believe they have a place in any language, whether it's English, Xandarian, Thal, Gallifreyan, or Shyriiwook.

Moving on...

Limitless
Gr8 muvvie.

The cinematography and vfx were quite experimental, and paid off in giving the film its own distinctive visual flair. Bradley Cooper was aces, as usual, and I enjoyed the ambiguous ending (which is a thousand times lighter than the book Limitless is very loosely based on). There was one gory sequence near the end that was a bit silly, but it didn't detract from the film too much. I still enjoyed it. Don't know how I feel about the TV series plans, though.

Sure it'd be easy to add in curses to show how rough they are. But, nearly any writer can do that. It'd take a really good (perhaps realistically too good of a) writer to be able to pull off rough characters without rough language. - Or, at least, a lot of rough language, that is. - And, to be fare, this film is pretty low on the "curse-o-meter" of most of the films I watch and enjoy, but, it just stood out in a bad way in this film. It uninterested me, and, thus, I stopped caring. As I said before, the filmmakers were already dead in the water with the first scene for me... It would have taken really memorable characters, a tough villain, and some more gusto to have won me over. And this film just couldn't do it for me. Sad, because I do like the GotG comics, and, would have loved a different interpretation of them...

Good point there. That's a really good way to tell what I was feeling - the cursing was used unnaturally in the film, and, really, should have been used in times when it wasn't. - If only swearing wasn't used as a way for cheep laughs anymore...

No offense taken, Jampot. To tell you the truth, I use the "D-bomb," as you put it, a lot irl. However, as a moderator, and since this is a site that kids do use, I just thought that it'd be a bit immature and unprofessional of me to type it here. I wouldn't be comfortable saying it in front of little kids, or any elders, and thus, won't say it here. I guess that's just some over-protective self-moderation on my part.

Youtube on the other hand... watch out!

I don't have a moral problem with any of it... It's just that, I'm kind of sick of seeing the same things done over and over again. I'd like to see a film about a serial killer where no murders are shown - outside of a documentary, that is. As far as I know, it's never been seriously done, though, excessive swearing and violence has been shown for artistic reasons. Whether you're alright with that or not is all up to the viewer; me personally accepting it if the use of it in art works. It's just the cheep uses of it that get a bit on my nerves.

I would have been just fine with the main character in GotG swearing, but, when everyone else did - mainly within jokes, it started to get too repetitive and, really took me out of the story. And, though the same could be said the other way, (a group of rough gangsters in a big city that only say "gosh" and "darn" would be VERY out of place) I just want to see other things done with what tools modern film makers have. I don't want overused CGI, I want a mix of practical effects with CG and perhaps even some animated elements too - similar to what is being done on the new Star Wars films. The same can be said of language and dialogue. - Id like to see this be explored more than it already has been. It just seems like Hollywood is starting to set itself back by refusing to try new things and experiment more - Guardians of the Galaxy is the pinnacle of this problem, in my opinion.

Oof, that's an excellent movie. And wholly appropriate.

Why can't more of films like these be made?! Silence of the Lambs was awesome!

The movie "Clue."

Footnote - Smeagol informed me that there isn't a serial killer in this movie.
But honestly, how do you know that the 'murderer' wasn't a serial killer beforehand?

Edit…."Kiss the Girls."  "Identity."

And here I am still having not seen GotG.

Speaking as someone who was homeschooled for much of their life and had what you probably would define as a "sheltered" life, I've become accustomed to other people using crude language and suchlike.  Just to be clear, I certainly don't like it and don't do it myself.  I generally feel uncomfortable around people who use it, especially in a very casual manner whilst referring to trivial things, or even for no inherent reason.  However, I've found it to be useful to not be "shocked" by other people using bad language.  I don't mean that one should learn to like it or even become used to coarse language per se, but rather just to be mindful that other people may have a tendency to curse regularly.

Regarding the whole cursing-in-movies thing I would agree with Smeagol's stance.  I only dislike bad language if it adds nothing to the film, or is there just for the sake of being there.  If that's the case it completely ruins my engagement with the film and takes me right out of it, and also generally shows that the writers really have nothing better to offer.

I really want to write a script about some extremely polite criminals who ruthlessly murder anyone who gets in their way now.

I actually think that chilling politeness and/or a generally quiet demeanor a la HAL 9000 (or John Reese of Person of Interest for a non-villainous example) can be a lot more effective and intimidating than excessive swearing or shouting. if done right.  It's why Colonel Hans Landa from Inglorious B@$t3rds is one of my favourite cinematic villains.  He's polite and charming, and may even seem to be a genuinely good-natured and nice person at times--and then he utterly crushes his opponents without even raising his voice.

Anyway, we should probably get back on topic now or something.

No actually mainly the language.
