I just saw The Departed. Why couldn't an otherwise incredibly compeliing story be told without the incredibly vulgar language? Same thing with HollywoodLand...Diane Lane must be insane to accept that langage as part of "acting". What the $%^&*( is wrong with Hollywood!!!

Well, for Hollywoodland I can't comment- I haven't seen it.
But for crime dramas centered upon unsavory characters, the movie lacks authenticity if everyone speaks like the local pastor or librarian. Most thugs and drug dealers don't shy away using obscenities, they revel in it- movies which attempt to accurately depict them, should be true to this.
That a story COULD be told without the offensive language is beside the point- "would it be as realistic?" is the pertinent question. By the same token, a story about conflict between deacons of a church- for such a film, vulgarity would be out of place, and a cheap stunt. I've worked for some companies where such language would be grounds for dismissal, and for Wall Street money managers whose every other word is an f-bomb, and that's just the world they live in.
Compelling stories involve all kinds of people.

Look at Scarface and Pulp Fiction (or any of Tarantino's movies, for that matter). Two films notorious for the amount of F words in em, and they go down as some of the greatest movies of all time. Basically, I guess the heavy amt of language is used to show audiences that they want to be taken seriously.

at first you desires a hug so *hugs* and secondly besides the full confirm element i became precisely such as you in school. everybody became continuously asking me if i became gay and extremely a number of the time i could deny it and on each and every occasion I joked approximately being gay I wasn't even spoken to for an afternoon or 2. It became as quickly as I instructed people who i became gay that I found out I had some terrific acquaintances and ought to be loose to be who i became. So my suggestion is do exactly what you think of is right and don't worry what others will think of.

Vulgarity is a cheap way to set a character without really working at it
