Most people want a heads up of what they\’re getting themselves into with a film. Fine.

It\’s the bizarre rules that really speak to the insanity of this organization. Combine that with the executioner\’s authority of the NC-17, and you\’ve got a devastating enemy of film.

Where I live that movie has the equivalent of a G-rating. Nobody gives a fuck about a little language. Jeez.

He came in to buy the US and take select countries… So unsure what you meant by this?

Plus, a slew of “shit”, “balls”, “tits”, etc. Ah, here we go…

King George VI: Well… bloody bugger to you, you beastly bastard.
Lionel Logue: Oh, a public school prig could do better than that.
King George VI: Shit. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!
Lionel Logue: Yes!
King George VI: Shit!
—–
King George VI: Fuck. Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck and fuck! Fuck, fuck and bugger! Bugger, bugger, buggerty buggerty buggerty, fuck, fuck, arse!
Lionel Logue: Yes…
King George VI: Balls, balls…
Lionel Logue: …you see, not a hesitation!
King George VI: …fuckity, shit, shit, fuck and willy. Willy, shit and fuck and… tits.
—–
King George VI: In this grave hour fuck fuck fuck perhaps the most fateful in our history bugger shit shit.

So… these school and church groups Weinstein says keep bugging him about making it PG-13 know they’re taking their kids to see that, sans three of those f-bombs? I’m cool with the cursing, especially in light of its context, but what’s with the arbitrary muting of three words and it’s magically OK? So weird.
