I believe that Gene Wilder is right. The movie industry's vulgarity has given such a negative image to this country's young and older adults along with all it's outragious violence. Even in a darling movie like ET, the little boy says "X@@##! breathe" which was just totally uncalled for, and movies that throw in stupid sex scenes and bad language that have nothing to do with the movie have been forced on us. People are right when they say we don't have to see the movie or DVD etc., but that means not seeing a good majority of movies, that one stupid scene or vulgar words could and should be left out.
Nearly every work place in this country has zero tolerance for sexual harrasment and schools should, but Hollywood insist on given out the wrong message. Hurray for Gene Wilder...where were you years ago.

I am behind you 200% Gene! You are absolutely right! I am so sick and tired of hearing all of the garbage language that these director's believe make their movies better. CLEAN IT UP!
