Matthew Vaughn on Kick-Ass Censors and Chloe Moretz!

Good stuff, I was hoping to hear him comment on those c#nts!

@BlackAirs87: I get what you're saying, but sadly the complainers have free speech as well. I'm looking forward to seeing this film in it's distasteful glory! : )

Still don't agree, if he didn't include so much profanities, this movie would be recieved by a much larger audience.

@airbeyonder: I find your reasoning a little odd tbh. So you think all the hyper violence would be perfectly acceptable for the masses, but not a simple word that harms no-one? Truly we live in a [frick]ed up world.

@Hawk: and how big a seller, exactly, does Millar think it will be? I don't recall him saying it will be as big as TDK or Avatar, so that's a pretty relative statement. Considering the feedback so far from the press who have seen it, the fans anticipation for it and the reaction of the general audience to the trailers (the 'normal' audience that is, not the loonies who think cursing is worse than extreme violence), I think it will bring back its budget and then some with no problem.

I love how he isn't submitting to those a-holes, make the dang movie the way it was intended to be made..... screw all those sheep who think that a lil girl swearing is beyond belief what reality are they living in. this isn't the 70's anymore kids swear all the time, they're gona do it when their parents aren't around anyways so why try to put a silencer on em, you can't stop em but you can teach em when it is appropriate to do so.

No Keith, YOU'RE WRONG. My examples aren't moot because I stated them as real possibilities.

Millar didn't include them, but how would you feel if he did??? You failed to address these issues and see the argument as a whole.
Point blank: Where do you draw the line?!? Would you feel okay with those examples if Millar had written them as such??

Any characterization about Chloe's mom is my OPINION. I made that opinion based on what was reported here and it seems like she doesn't fully care for her daughter's mental well being. Just because children are cursing more and at a younger age, does that make it okay?? Should we just throw in the towel and give up on teaching respect, civility, social responsibility, etc???? Her mom is very irresponsible at least and very trashy and vile at best. (Way to show her to be a nice, young lady, Teri!!)

"The less "taboo" it is, the less power it has. It's only shocking if you want it to be....."
That sounds like the same argument for n*gger. And yet, that word clearly offends people and it's usage, especially by blacks themselves, hasn't empowered them, only dragged down their culture as a whole and how they treat one another. Words do mean SOMETHING.

If c*nt means nothing to you and it's just "naughty" I do hope you use it frequently in front of your own mom, sisters (if applicable), to any and all women that you come into contact with and yes ALL children as well, since "real kids curse all the time" and since it's not a big deal.
You can just tell them that they need to worry about other things and recite your list of harrowing problems that grip our world. I'd like to see your face after using this "naughty" word. I don't think you will have much left of it and your balls will no longer be intact.

And Keith, if you would raise kids in the same fashion, then you also are warped and don't see the big picture and I'm sure you will have some real winners on your hands. Good luck with all that, 'cause you're going to need it.

KeithM = logical

BloodRed = c#nt

haha, yeah I think Bloodred is kind of missing the big picture here. Censorship is the real downward spiral. And all those "what ifs" are classic reactionary bullshit. We are talking about what ARE'S not what ifs. A child saying c#nt is shocking..to some, not so much to others, either way like Kethm pointed out, its just a word. Obviously by saying that, it doesn't mean that word crosses over into polite conversation.manners can be kept separate from a conversation on censorship surely? Just because I find nothing wrong with Hit Girl saying it in an R rated movie, doesn't mean I'm going to run around screaming into my mothers face..one is real, one is a movie..so many times the people who speak out against so called "moral corruption" in films blur them together.

I HATE CENSORSHIP!

Not because It cuts out words from the media, but because it doesn't cut out enough. I watched a show on tv the other day that said "p#ssy" and "rug muncher" and censored out "ass hole." Who makes these decisions? The people who decide censorship are completely out of their minds stupid. Soon people will be allowed to say anything on tv and it will take all the meaning out of those words. Because those words do have meaning, and when used correctly, they can be used as an art form to convey a message. Just pick up Preacher.

And the movie is rated "R" for "gratuitous language." So children are not allowed in the theater without an adult.

And you can't say the N word in the same as the C word. It just doesn't make sense. Racial slurs are said on tv all the time and they turn children into racists, they really do. Carlos Mencia has a far greater effect on kids than Mark Millar.

And kids are going to swear like idiots no matter what. Only a small majority will appreciate what the intelligent writers are doing. But the C word doesn't inflict hate on an entire group of people.

If you guys have an interest in film censorship in America then check out a doc called "This Film Is Not Yet Rated". Its basically an under cover investigation into the MPPA, the secret society of clueless, brain washed drones that decide what you can and can't see in a movie.

@BloodRed: Funny how someone who says they hate bad language so much can't seem to communicate without it eh?

I've no intention of paying attention to anything you say at this point. You've shown yourself incapable of holding a mature conversation. You are judgemental, presumptuous, ignorant and hateful. I'm done with you. Move on.

Johnny, you're saying that her mom is wonderful & sweet BECAUSE......????? What? You know them personally?? Even if that were the case, she's still immature and is doing her daughter a serious disservice. I doubt that Chloe would know what these words are/mean and if she does already at a young age, then that is truly sad. And when she asks exactly what it is she is saying, what the words mean, what then? It's irresponsible because Chloe wouldn't seek out a role like this herself, it's her parents that push the child to be in these films, whether it's a parent living through the child's success as a way of making up for their own insecurities/failures in life or by simply using them as a meal-ticket.

And N-O, you're WRONG, I wouldn't let my child be in a film that had them being used in such a manner and exposing them to things way before they're ready. As a responsible person, I wouldn't tell my kids that it's okay, "Don't worry honey, it's only words," in the first place. There are plenty of films for kids that don't involve this kind of b.s.

Keith, on the contrary, you had nowhere to go in this argument because you are beaten. You couldn't rebut anything that I wrote, so you just ignored it and then used a lot of false adjectives to describe me.

School's out, chump.

blah blah blah morals, blah blah blah., it's wrong, blah blah blah.


STFU.

um YES in fact i DO know them personally . So scratch whatever you just said. Ok Ok Ok Im not gonna lie and say I dont get what your saying, because I do. But if THAT were the case, then all movies that involve kids cussing should be played by adults? No. don't think so. Besides the whole movie isn't cussing. It's not like she is cussing EVERY SINGLE LINE? And it's not the parents what so ever. If an opportunity comes knocking on the door , "Oh wait I have to say some bad words"??? pssh and turn it down? YEAH RIGHT. She's 13 . A middle school level? Im pretty sure all teens know what these words mean. You are acting like we live in a Sheltered planet where all kids are unexposed to the REAL WORLD. Like I said B4, I get what your saying, but really? seriously? calling someone a SH1TTY parent? Ok well the drop off age for a "kid" is 19. So Michael Mintz Plasse AKA "Fogel" in superbad is tychnically a "kid" and he cussed a LOT! Oh and what about. And the Goonies. Hello? full of kids, the movie is a CLASSIC. Like I said B4 it is just a movie. who are you to judge the parents?

although basic cable is starting to get a little bit more outtahand these days for children scrolling through the channels(just my personal opinion,I am entitled to it)... I still say if you dont like whats on t.v. change the F***ing channel!!! But when it comes to movies , I say: people if you if you are easily offended by vulgar language,sex,violence,gore,etc.. then DONT PAY 10 F***ING DOLLARS TO GO SEE FILMS THAT YOU MOST LIKELY WILL FIND OBJECTIONABLE!!!! as for me the KICK-ASS movie will definately be seeing some cash from my pocket. the red band trailer had me laughing out loud!!!
