Isn't the FCC enough bureaucratic nonsense to fill a room with a steaming pile of excrement, as if bleeping out the word "fuck" is really morally better than just letting it ride? It's not like you're tricking anyone. We all know what the word was, so why ruin a perfectly good movie? It's functionally useless, and what a terrible waste of taxes.

The absolutely best ever movie rendition of "FUCK YOU" was - in my opinion - delivered by Emilio Estavez in Repo Man, just moments before he gets fired at the grocery store in the beginning. A perfect delivery. This was not a sudden interjection in the heat of action, like a hand-to-hand combat or something. No. This was a carefully measured optimal way to respond to the situation at hand. When that came around on TV they had the nerve to bleep it out with a piss-ass "flip-you" sort of overlay that made me shut it off.
