was sarcastic, but I think that using Michael Medved as a cultural model is akin to asking Rush Limbaugh for dietary advice. I have virtually zero respect for him as a reviewer, because he carries so much religious/political baggage, and is more-than-willing to expose it in his reviews.

As far as coarse language in film, perhaps it's all subjective. As much as I liked 'The Big Lebowski', the constant f-word usage drove me nuts! Yet, perhaps ironically, the constant cursing in 'Deadwood' seems entirely appropriate to the mood/atmosphere of the setting. Why the difference? Who the hell knows, but I think that's why movies are movies, and we need to just let their makers do what they will. In the end, we as the viewers decide what is appropriate. Can you imagine a movie about the mafia without cursing? Of course not-though 'The Godfather' exhibited much less of it than 'The Sopranos'. Which is right-only you can decide.
