For those whom are Christians and are looking for a movie that does not contain language that you do not want to bring into your home you may want to reconsider “Wall-E”. These are the following words that I found in the movie: by golly, darn it all, and get the heck out of here—these three were all spoken during a prerecorded message by a human. Blasted ship and stupid wheel were spoken by the captain of the ship.

I've told my son there aren't any words off limits, however, it is important to know when and how to use them -as for gosh, gad, and golly, he doesn't use them because they are silly nonsense words. Other than a handful of outburst experiments, that were immediately addressed, my son's vocabulary is "clean." I guess Wall-E just isn't as influential as parenting... go figure.
WALL-E? You mean the robot love story? Seriously? That movie had like 5 minutes of dialogue TOTAL.
Speaking of inappropriate language, you're misusing the word "whom". Should be using "who" instead.

"Let's all hope disciple4thelord never comes across anyone with Tourette syndrome..."
They'll just assume that person is possessed by a demon.
As W.C. Fields used to say' "Godfrey Daniels!".
Are you offended that he called the wheel stupid because its complexity is beyond you? Golly, every day of your life must be one giant struggle against The Darkness.
Also, for missing the beauty that was WALL-E? I'm not even going to insult you. I just pity you.
There's always the option of explaining to your child how the world works and that you and s/he won't use those words, but I guess that would be too hard. After all, it took a whole 12 minutes in an Arthur episode.
Wait a minute:
WALL-E, the movie where the archetypal serpent (Wall-E), tags along with Eve (uh...Eve), to Eden (The Axiom), and leads her and Adam (Captain McCree) in a rebellion against a God (AUTO), and sends them to Earth, whereupon it turns out to be the right thing to do...
AND YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT WORDS THAT YOU COULD SAY IN POLITE COMPANY IN THE 50s!?
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOUR BRAIN!?
And before you ask, I love WALL-E. Seems to me like the Biblical serpent did us a favor.
"Whom" does not work like that.
I'd say you have a hard time finding ANY film satisfactory. Make your own, and stop criticizing the ones made for normal people, m'kay?
What about the renegade robots? The humans doing nothing whatsoever? Auto taking control of the ship and holding the captain prisoner?
...Landover Baptist couldn't make a parody silly enough to rival this.
This is so sad. I can just imagine these people living inside a bunker, being offended by such filth as "Leave It To Beaver."
I suppose the upside is that they're likely too terrified of the outside world to go out and reproduce.
I think the point of this review was:
"I went into this movie having already decided I hated it and planned to look for things to decry about it, but was stunned to learn that it is basically the perfect family movie with no swearing, violence or unwholesome message to speak of. So I nitpicked at language that never has or will ever be offensive to anyone"
Yep. If we accept those expressions and slang soon we'll be using words like "faggot", "sodomite", "heathen", "pervert", and other variations.
A True ChristianTM would never use such terms. Oh wait...
Oh good lord...you're serious, too, aren't you?
What movies WOULD be appropriate for you? 2 hours of Gregorian Chanting...?
Jesus Titty Fucking Christ you people are over the top!
@ Headache - Thanks for the article, vair interestink :D
As for the OP, I can only echo what others have said - your kids are going to hear curse words in the real world. Teach them mild ones or they'll delight in the bad ones.
I used 'flip' as a small child, which alarmed one kid with fundie parents so much that she ran to the teacher to tell on me. Obviously, the teacher stared at her and replied "'Flip' is not a bad word, sweetie."
When I was a bit older, my parents gave me a minor curse word (all three of us were given a word - my sister had 'bugger', my brother had 'crap', and I had 'damn'). It worked so well that by the time I got to my teen years, I was really shit at cursing properly :D
Former Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden sez: "Dadgum! You're one big bowl of stupid, disciple4thelord."
Also, I'd like to add that disciple is nuckin' futts!
And for heaven's sake, don't take your child to see Bambi! At one point, Thumper says "Gee, whiz," which is a phonetic corruption of the word "Jesus."
And keep your kid away from Shirley Temple films, too. She looks so precious as she says, "Oh my goodness" to the camera, but she's pure evil--those red curls are the locks of SATAN.
Golly, darn it, and heck? That's pretty strong talk there, disciple4thelord. Do you kiss your mom with that mouth?
Hell I used to say worse in the 4th grade. And I hate to think what words my infant son will learn from me when he gets older.
But for some reason I really have the urge to tie disciple4thelord down and make him watch "Scarface."
Fuck, Shit, Bastard, whore, cunt balls!
You know, there are curse words in your precious Babble...damn, hell, ass...
"We're gonna live like kings! Damn hell ass kings!"
"Gosh, gad, golly, gee, and goodness are a few of the words that also mean God."
The fuck, you say!
"Gosh, gad, golly, gee, and goodness are a few of the words that also mean God. "
Uh, no.
"Personally I prefer not to have movies especially for my small child that are a slang curse.
Then for fuck's sake don't let your child read "2000 AD", with (in "Judge Dredd") the uses of 'Grud' and 'Jovis':

Drokk!

"Also, I'd like to add that disciple is nuckin' futts!"
If disciple4thelord is so offended by swearwords, then the only way we'd get him/her to watch "The Exorcist" is to have that line redubbed to 'Your mother cooks socks in Hull!'

"does not contain language that you do not want to bring into your home"
Then I suggest you never watch "Monty Python's Flying Circus". Because it contains a swearword so unimaginable, it'd make your brain hurt and your nipples explode with delight:

"Ma's out, Pa's out, let's talk rude!
This is almost as ridiculous as the time Bro. Randy scolded some girl on teens4christ for saying "Oh, sugar!" because God knew what she really meant...
d4t, get that fucking stick out of your ass and stop caring so much about such stupid shit. There are more important things in this world than a few swear words, and the words you listed don't even qualify as such. Dumbass.

Wall-E, what's wrong with it, by golly?! (Yes I meant that to rhyme :p)

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
