I'm no prude and I've been know to cuss, sometimes frequently (most frequently when designing with a computer - plotters are truly evil, possessed devices), and occasionally the only rational response to some people is f*&# you, but for the most part I find cussing in movies to be gratuitous and a substitution for having to actually come up with intelligent dialog.

"Every once in a while there is a good new one too."

I don't see that many new movies. Usually see them after they are 2 or 3 years old. Of the movies I consider to be above average that I've seen in the last 3-4 years, only one of them has much cussing in them. To wit: Titantic, Braveheart, Apollo 13. Braveheart is one of only 3 or 4 movies I have on tape and will repeat watch. The fourth movie that springs to mind is older and every other word is a cuss word. "Fear of a Black Hat". A truly funny, low budget flick that parodies the parody "This is Final Tap". Note "Fear" is not a chick flick. Fear is a supposed documentary that follows a rap group on tour. In this context the cussing is sorta realistic as opposed to gratuitous.

If you want to really see an abuse of language watch "Hoffa" sometime. Being a Nicholson fan and a DeVito fan and from a blue collar, union family from Detroit, I was really interested in this movie. There was so much swearing in it I actually was embarrassed and ultimately bored by it.
