Everyone near my age (30) has attempted a crane kick. If you haven't you also haven't a pulse.

The Shining on AMC
There's no reason I should be surprised when Jack Torrence tells his wife to "get the fuck out" when she stops by to see how his lovely new novel is coming along that the "fuck" was sloppily replaced with "hell."
Well I was, and here's why.
I've always assumed that naughty language was censored for the sake of our precious little children. So, when I stumble across a movie (that I love) which is VERY scary and involves, among other things,
AN AXE TO THE CHEST, I feel like the spicy language takes a back seat to full frontal, through the jacket, chest crackling mutilation.
At what age is it inappropriate to hear "fuck" but perfectly reasonable to see a man try to kill his wife and son. Not by slowly poisoning them, not by carbon monoxide, but through the gloriously violent and deeply personal method of axe murder.
I know I'm not breaking new ground here, but it's really fucking shitty. Just another sacrifice in the name of maximum profits. Other people's greed is always fucking my shit in some way.
Halloween is ruined.
