“Fuck” is a documentary on it’s title. It’s not pornography, though those that despise the word might as well think so. Isn’t it interesting that an entire hour and a half movie could be made on one sole word and still be more entertaining that most of the mainstream motion pictures Hollywood throws out at us? It’s a movie that uses the world’s “most offensive” word as a culture comment on cursing in general. As many of the celebrity commentators continually remind us, after all, it is just a word. Though it’s a word’s meaning that can cut into somebody just as much as a physical hit, right? True, though after watching this documentary, when you think about all the fuss the word has caused it seems rather silly that a film, for instance, can not reach a number of viewers due to the usage of the word (and others in it’s category) or that the FCC can fine people for using a “word” on the radio or television. It’s an interesting topic and director Steve Anderson certainly has assembled some interesting people to discuss it- “Clerks” director Kevin Smith who we all know loves using the word, the late, great Hunter S. Thompson, the new “Price is Right” host Drew Carey, porn superstar Ron Jeremy, Public Enemy frontman Chuck D., Alanis Morissette, etc. Ol’ country legend Pat Boone even steps in to speak out against the word. All I could think about every time he slagged on it was that idiotic cover of that “metal” album he made a few years back. Who could take this guy seriously after that monstrosity? So all in all, it’s a documentary that could have been very limited and one note in it’s subject matter, but director Anderson shows his true talent by divulging more into it than most would. I guess it goes without saying that if you aren’t a fan of cursing than I certainly can’t recommend this film to you. You’d fucking hate it!
This was another music blog, but let's face it- there are enough of those to go around at the moment and the web is becoming a bit too crowded for them (except for the bomb ass ones like "Fight Test", "Fluxblog", etc...). So, I decided to make this a movie review blog where I'll post reviews of the movies I watch. I'll include MP3s from the movie soundtracks to download when I can find them. Keep in mind these are just my OPINIONS, so you could very well love a movie I hate or vice versa- so please, don't bother posting comments on what an idiot I am for not liking a movie you like (or for confusing a slight fact- no need to call someone a dumbass for not knowing a remake was originally Thai and not Japanese. There are some rude people out there) It is pointless and I'd rather you just not come to the site if that's the case. Also, the MP3s posted are to help encourage you to either purchase the soundtrack and/or the individual group or artist's album(s). If you are the owner of any of the songs posted and want them removed- please let me know and it will be done ASAP. Thank you for stopping by!
FUCK
