Kind of based on 8

[(Anonymous)]

What are the worst cases of censoring cursing? Either for a TV edit or adaptation. Based on every time I think about on The Walking Dead TV show they said, "They're screwing with the wrong people," instead of "They're fucking with the wrong people".

I don't get what's wrong with your example. Do people not say "screwing with" where you're from? (I ask that honestly, as I know since I moved I've said a few things that I thought were normal and people just stop and stare like 'wtf')

It is but the original line is fuck. In the same episode the lead rips out a guy's throat with his teeth (and it is shown on screen) and they are about to get into a gory battle with cannibals. But they can't say "fuck"?

Sort of the opposite: rather than using period-accurate swearing, the showrunners of Deadwood used modern curse words because they thought it would have a bigger impact on the audience, while the antiquated forms would seem ridiculous to modern viewers. Ironically, though, this just comes across as a cowboy script by an edgy teenager delighted that his parents aren't around to tell him he can't say "fuck" - it's just forced and silly. It takes me out of it the moment they speak and I DNF'd it two episodes in.

Gravitas comes from good writing; there are so many gritty, powerful westerns where people use the curses of the era and trust the audience to understand that this is a different time and the delivery of the actors to convey the intended effect. (I feel the same way about Peaky Blinders' aversion to period music.)

I watched a movie on TV (forget the name of the movie, this was ages ago) where the word "pig" was substituted for the word "dick" which made certain lines make NO sense. The most memorable one was "that guy looks like he doesn't have a dick" getting turned into "that guy looks like he doesn't have a pig"!

Not quite the same but it really bugged me on that one episode of Glee where Gwyneth Paltrow sang CeeLo's Fuck -- er,*Forget* You and all the characters were like 'you know, that new song Forget You!'. I know they can't say fuck on primetime broadcast TV but it just felt so ridiculously awkward. These are high schoolers in the internet age, they absolutely know the real name of the song. Even if someone had started to say the actual name and been interrupted or if they had lampshaded that it's the radio edit it would have worked for me more than the show trying to convince me that any of these kids really think the song is called 'Forget' You.

Tried watching Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle on Much.

They just blanked the swears, which is generally inoffensive.

But there is a LOT of swearing in that movie apparently. Vast swaths of the film were just. Plain. Silent.

Re: Kind of based on 8

The worst ones I've heard were in the TV edit of the movie Liar Liar. They substituted "snot" for the word "shit."

So the line "I'm such a shit!" turned into "I'm such a snot!"

I forgave that one, but then later on, Jim Carrey's character gets pulled over by the police for several traffic offenses, and he's supposed to be cursing "Shit!" I would've preferred they left it silent, but they literally copied "such a snot" and inserted it where the curse should be. So he was cursing "Such a snot!" I can't even follow the logic on that one.

The official La Forte version of KinnPorsche. In the tv edit they censored the alcohol, and shortened the sex scenes while leaving in all the swearing. In the La Forte version you had uncensored alcohol, longer sex scenes, and while the audio in Thai was the same, the English translations were censored. So you had a mafioso shooting someone in the head, fucking his boyfriend, and swearing up a storm in Thai, and the English translation will say "What the fudge? My house is freaking wet!" There was even a scene where the actor says in English "This wasn't the fucking plan!" and the English subtitles said "This wasn't the freaking plan!"

Taped Trainspotting when it was on TV late one night years ago (even though I had my own copy on VHS at that time), the blanking out of the swearing when Begbie yells at Sickboy about the cards was so bad. Thankfully when I've watched it on World Movies when it's been on it's not edited out.

Ah man, 'mother falcon' is the best.

[(Anonymous)]

Die Hard, television edit. Of all the words to pick to replace 'fucker', 'falcon' is the one they go with.

Weekend Plans?

[kaijinscendre]

What is everyone doing this weekend?

I am going to be staying home with no plans! I am going to try to finish my current book after DNFing my last two (putting me behind on my goal for the year). Other than that, just gaming and such. Really enjoying the insanity of the new Fortnite season with cars.

Re: Weekend Plans?

[(Anonymous)]

DNFing books is so frustrating, but I also refuse to waste my time on books I'm not enjoying. I was on a trend of three DNF in a row, but thankfully I found some books to break me out of that and now I'm back on course for my reading goal.

I really need to clean my room this weekend. The Depression Mess is out of control. Going to try my hardest to get some of it out of the way first thing tomorrow so then I can enjoy the rest of the weekend guilt free.

Re: Weekend Plans?

Today is the start of my vacation and I'm off until the second week of June.

Months ago I booked a room at the Hyatt Regency in my city and I'm checking in this evening. It will be nearly empty while I'm there because it's between conventions, and my city is big but not exactly a tourist destination anyway, so it will be quiet and peaceful. I am going to hang the Do Not Disturb sign on the door and lay in my king size bed and read fic, watch movies, sleep, nap, eat the occasional meal and hide out from everything while I relax and rejuvenate. I have a spa date Monday where I'm treating myself to a massage, a pedicure, and a new full set of nails. I can't wait!

Re: Weekend Plans?

DNF is frustrating for sure. After two or three books that I fail to get into, I go back to old favorites.

I’m happy to say I have no plans this weekend! Just do some laundry and hang with my dogs and maybe play some video games. The last month has been pretty full on so this is a much needed rest.

Re: Weekend Plans?

[philstar22]

Mostly lots and lots of sleep. I've averaged 2-3 hours of sleep this week, not a great week. I had to have extra caffeine just to drive home today.

Getting a massage tomorrow, my regular monthly one. Doing laundry. And then watching the 911 season final and catching up on Doctor Who.

Fic requests

They save themselves

[(Anonymous)]

I was reading this Witcher fic (unring the bell by Shinybug https://archiveofourown.org/works/34495324 ) and I really liked the whole "Jaskier doesn't think anyone is coming for him so he saves himself" bit and was wondering if anyone else had any recs for more of the same. Basically, character A gets captured (and tortured or hurt or whatever) and manages to escape/saves themselves but then after they escape they run into the party/person that was on the way to save them. Then lots of comfort.

If you've ever seen Ever After, same concept when Drew Barrymore walks out and the Prince was there to rescue her.

I've been sucked back into Witcher lately so if you have any for that specific fandom that'd be great, but any fandom that you think I can dive in without knowing beyond the basics will work. I also enjoy Dragon Age Inquisition, CoD, and MCU (Stucky, mostly).

ST Voyager

[(Anonymous)]

Did voyager fandom have good fic? I was super into the show (I was obsessed with 7 of 9 because angsty backstory and 'learning how to human' is my absolute jam) but never got into the fandom. I remember taking a peek and it was all 7/Janeway porn and at the time I was absolutely not into that (I saw their relationship as more mentor or maternal but to each their own), but it's been years now and the Tom Paris secret got me curious.

So! If you have any awesome Voyager fic feel free to rec it! I tend towards h/c and plotty fic.

Where to jump into a universe?

[(Anonymous)]

A thread for anyone looking for guidance on where to start with big universes/franchises.

Re: Where to jump into a universe?

[(Anonymous)]

What are the good seasons of American Horror Story? Where should I start watching and which ones do I skip?

Re: Where to jump into a universe?

[(Anonymous)]

It is really dependent on the universe/franchise.

Re: Where to jump into a universe? - Star Wars

[(Anonymous)]

Outside the movies and The Clone Wars cartoon (that I'm watching). Mostly want to know what books are still/currently canon, but even other media than the books too.
