I've yet to see this peice of sh!t Brittish horror movie but what might sway me to go is if Jennifer Ellison says a lot of dirty words.
Theirs nothing sexier than a young scouse blonde with a bad attitude who can't control her vile language.
Is true that she swears a lot in this movie?
how do you know it's *beep* if you haven't seen it yet?
and yes, Ms Ellison does swear every other word (loads of c words as well!)
She certainly does have a potty mouth on her, the little madam.
'f' this and 'f' that, you 'c', you 'f' ing 'c'. Goodness knows what her mother thinks.
She'll catch her death of cold running around outside in those pyjamas too. Whatever happened to sitting down with a cup of tea and a biscuit? That would have made a much nicer film.
My apologies if the other posters here aren't actually American, but... what is it that makes Americans so terrified of the 'c' word? I read a review of The Cottage that couldn't get past the fact that Ellison says it almost every sentence. Big bloody deal! It's just a word, and in Britain a lot of people, including women, use it every bit as casually as her character does.
I thought she was funny as hell in the film, and more than held her own alongside Reece Shearsmith and Andy Serkis. Hopefully she won't continue to get dismissed as just another bimbo starlet after this, as she clearly has her talents. (And yes, that was a pun about her breasts.)
most of the cast had to go to ADR and re-dub all the swear words and substitute them for animal names 'f@ck' = 'duck'.. you get the idea) for american airlines. it took a very long time!
Andy Sirkis said it's a bit silly as you cant swear but there is all this gore going on and that's ok?!.
the "c" word means something different over here......it's pretty much the most debasing, ugly word you can call a woman....you couldn't call a man it because it wouldn't make any sense at all and there isn't a word for a man that would imply the same thing for that sex,
whatever word y'all use over there as the worst to call a woman is equal to the "c" word over here

it means exactly the same thing.
get over it, its only a bodypart.
i dont understand people offended by words like that
'Just remember. I can complete a jigsaw using only my tongue. With the lights out.'
um,
the proper definition is the same,
but the slang use is very different
http://www.last.fm/music/Disuse
no the slang use is the same. the queen of swear words, the word that hates women, the word that should never be said, the offensivest word ever!
'Just remember. I can complete a jigsaw using only my tongue. With the lights out.'

Um,what? That's one of the most stupid (and sexist) things I've ever heard. What the hell do you call a man who swears,then? I also don't understand why a thread about a woman just cussing people the hell out in a film is even this long. Woman curse on film (and in real life) all the damn time---I' a woman and I cuss a lot myself. I don't get what the issue is supposed to be here.

I liked her bad language. It was a turn on in a weird kinda way.
It's a great accomplishment having a woman who talks like that begging for more time with you.
Lighten up to the dumbing down and pure crapulence that passes for "Jade Goody" quality British film making, no thank you.
still, her swearing and that accent added to her already extraordinary hottness. Oh my god, she is amazing.
Good movie by the way.

shareJennifer ellison may look hot but she cannot act all she does
Is shout and swear [f this and f that, you c, you f ing c etc ]
I swear mostly at work but not too exessively
this is all she does In this film it's boring really
Don't watch the film It Is crap beyond belief
no disresect to the actors but It played like a bbc drama
and hardly any plot
trust me It complete a bag of *beep*

You've got a crazy look in your eye... and it's really starting to freak me out.
are you American?
I am, but it's not a P.O.S (piece of Sh!t) British horror movie. It's a black-comedy FIRST, then it sub-genres itself as a Thriller-Horror.
To answer your question xela-12, YES she swears a lot. as said, she says *C___T* a lot.... and i mean A LOT. i care NOT about foul language, trust me - i'm 26 and think i take it.... BUT i'm not one for the *C* word. it's just too vile for me.

I got the impression that she was supposed to be annoying and foul mouthed to an extreme ***SPOILER AHEAD***
so that you cheered when she was killed.

Her foul mouth f(_)cked up this film. I loved when she
DIED.
Americans always make me laugh. They're quite happy to call anyone who looks even vaguely Arabic a camel-shagger - and worse - and they get their panties completely in a bunch when someone comes out with a perfectly serviceable Anglo-Saxon swear word.
And they're quite happy to watch other people in other countries getting blown up, raped, murdered, whatever but if someone flops out a tit on network TV they all have fainting fits and start sueing everyone else for emotional damage.
The main problem is that they can't say that aaawwwful word properly. They just can't pronounce it with the necessary venom. When you *do* hear an American say it on TV or in a film it sounds empty and has no bite. So I suppose they resent us doing it properly. But the language is, after all, called English, not American.
Really? That's how we are, eh? Oh. Thanks for informing me that I hate middle-eastern people, enjoy watching people in other countries being raped and murdered and have a problem with nudity (I had been thinking the censoring was the FCC being a crap, old-fashioned institution all this time. Glad you know better). I was not aware this was how I felt. I'm glad there are self-righteous people like you out there to remind me how I and every single person in my country think and feel. =)
I also wasn't aware that the UK was completely without rude words. That is also interesting to know. You should probably tell that to the woman I was stood next to in London who gave me a look when I dropped an F bomb in private conversation with a friend in public. Yes, she was English.
Get over yourself. Everyone has their little things that they don't like. Some people find certain words to be rude and others don't. I don't personally have a hang up with the C word but I also don't have some weird thing with people who don't like a word which is MEANT to be foul and insulting where an ego boost takes place.
But back to the movie - Yes, Jennifer swears a lot. Why anyone would want to watch a movie solely because someone swears a lot is beyond me but have at it. You SHOULD be watching the movie because Reece and Andy are incredibly brilliant and funny and should be having bags of money delivered to their front door every single day just for continuing to breathe. (Anyone who feels otherwise on this matter is a dirty tit-flopper and should be murdered for my enjoyment)
Oh, and how can anyone who has seen the film not be aware this is a dark comedy? How can anyone grade it as a straight horror film? Gahhh. It is a dark comedy! Moth scene? Anyone? Not registering? No. Okay. Sorry to those who didn't like this very serious attempt at a horror film with the scene of a man flailing about and screaming in a room because it's full of harmless moths set in slow motion to Camille Saint-Saens' "Aquarium" then.
Now if you'll all excuse me, I'm off to have a cocktail and shout racist slurs into my vaguely Arabic-looking neighbor's backyard hoping he'll come out and I can yell at him while shaking my fist and giving him a "Why, I oughtta--!" stare for most likely plotting against the US in some manner because of this revelation that bogwart-1 has bestowed upon me, that I am racist and blood thirsty yet hate tits. Ohh, Vaguely Arabic-looking Neighbor better not come out of his house with his tits exposed. Then I'll really be angry!
Good day.
Gosh, I'll bet you feel better you've got all that off your, er, chest.
It should have been obvious to anyone with the brainpower of a retarded hamster that my remarks were a generalisation, and directed principally at those people who were having fits of the vapours because of 'bad' language. And you're just as bad with your coy 'F-bomb'. Gah. Do people actually *say* that? Cretins.
I don't know about people who would want to watch a film merely because of the swearing. Are there really such people? And, as you addressed the post to me, of course I'm aware that the film is a black comedy. You see? We can even use the word 'black' here without fretting about it. "Dark comedy." Heh.
There is a certain odour of pious sanctity leaking from the crevices of this diatribe. "Some people find certain words to be rude and others don't." Well, who gives a phlying *beep* Anyone that sensitive shouldn't be watching films like this anyway.
Stereotyping, like racism, is a naturally occurring beast the world over. I have several Merkin friends, and some of them are the nicest people anyone would want to know. Ditto Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern and miscellaneous Europeans. It doesn't stop me - or them - occasionally resorting to stereotyping the rest. For better or worse, we all do it.
Most of the world has a vision of Americans as loudmouthed arrogant hippo-sized hypocrites. That's what we see in films and on TV, so it's only natural to assume that's the impression we gain. And no, I'm not speaking for the entire rest of the world any more than you are speaking for all of your countrymen.
Now that the civilian part of your population has, by and large, stopped imagining that they are the world's chosen people perhaps we will get a rest from you. And as you're all going bust anyway you won't be able to travel to places where proper human beings live, which will be a huge relief to everyone.
Good day to you too. And I hope your day wil be filled with fluffy white clouds, and happy little kitties and puppies wagging those adorable little tails, with nary an F-bomb within hearing.
You sound half mad. One minute saying you meant almost nothing by what you said and that it was directed at a specific group of people on the board, the next minute making more unfavorable sweeping generalisations about an entire country but no one specific.. like you were before really. Er.
You do realize you can't use certain words on IMDB, yes? Okay. This is why I said "F bomb." Coy use? My god. Same as "F word" only "bomb" replaces "word" and doesn't change anything about the indication. I used it because it sounds funny to me and after all, that post was meant for my amusement or I wouldn't have done it because actually arguing on the internet is awful. I suppose next you will point out that I could have used asterisks or just typed the word and have IMDB censor it like an "evolved human" or "non-caveman" or whatever term you so choose to use would because you need to feel superior. I'll stop you here. I wasn't sure what IMDB scanned for in censoring and if I'd just typed it for automatic censoring, it would've looked like one of several words. Saves you time there. Or maybe not. I'm sure you can point something else out here.. Hm. Something in this is just waiting for your keen eye to find and frivolously ridicule. I know you can find it! That superiority complex should keep you going on this. Cheering for you!
I know exactly who you MEANT the post for. I never indicated I didn't. Making sweeping generalisations about a country though is making sweeping generalisations about a country. I just felt like having a bit of fun with you. Only need to take a small trip around this board to see another comment of yours which says something hilariously self-satisfied about Americans. The other one I ran across implied third world countries consume large quantities of high calorie, high fat foods... This one was more fun to play with though. Pointing out factual errors on the net isn't as amusing.
The point in my statement "some people find certain words to be rude and others don't" though WAS that the entire thing doesn't matter at all. "Who gives a phlying *beep*?"
Exactly. It doesn't affect me or you or anyone else. Why waste time pointing it out? "Ha! You dislike a word. You're inferior to me, Merkin!" You know, I dislike the word "crotch" because it makes me gag. Sounds like something involving rotten vegetables. A storage shed full of rotten vegetables; compost. "The carrots were rotten so I put them in the crotch outside." Gah... So I guess since I don't like that word, you can feel superior... here. Or here. Your choice.
But you making a comment surrounding the fact that someone doesn't like the C word (wait, *beep* Is that better? "C bomb" sounds more funny though, you buzz kill. Could just say *beep* but.. that could be anything..) indicates you do give a phlying *beep* though. So, I'm not even sure what you're getting at now because you seemed to give a phlying *beep* before but now.. you don't.
And your whole thing on stereotyping and getting this impression from TV and films of Americans so it's what you assume... Odd. Wouldn't looking beyond mainstream TV and film for what's really going on be more "evolved" than eating up what you're fed? We get a lot of English people in film and TV who are proper, dapper and either pompous and evil or meek and nice. However, I don't make sweeping generalisations about the English based off of that. Or do you have only polar opposite personalities there? I understand that stereotyping happens all over and I also don't have a politically correct preoccupation (in fact I despise political correctness) with it but it does point out the fools when it's relied upon too much.
Let's see... Oh, I wasn't directing my comment about the film to you even though I know you already understand that. I was being random and going back to the original topic. (Having to sort of faux explain this is absurd. I love it) The original poster seemed to be preoccupied with watching the film because of Jennifer's swearing. Oh, and good one on the "black comedy" thing. Actually, "black comedy" is the most frequently used term over here for that genre but I prefer "dark comedy" because it sort of sounds better to me and happens to fall out of my mouth when I speak on the subject. (I'm glad we have these little dissections of why I say certain things. It's sort of like an offbeat psychologist visit each time)
I'm quite glad a lot of English people I've met are quite open minded and am a little disappointed to meet one who isn't. Ah well, your prerogative. You've ruined my fun by making me re-explain everything I'd said now though. Bah. Oh well. It was fun for a bit, so thanks for that. Thank you for the wishes of fluffery too. However, there was a little malice in there.. A world without F bombs? That was a little uncalled for, I think.
If "Oh, I wasn't directing my comment about the film to you" was what you intended, you shouldn't have replied to my message.
Couldn't be bothered to read the rest, sorry. Evil Kitty my arse - stick to your knitting.
Huh. It censored my censoring of le C word. Guess we can scratch out the asterisks idea.
shareI believe you've taken the issue some people have with "a perfectly serviceable Anglo-Saxon swear word" a bit too far. To use ridiculous generalizations (no one I know has ever used a term even remotely similar to "camel-shagger," nor have we supported the annihilation of another country) against the entirety of America simply because some people express distaste for excessive foul language is particularly absurd.
Furthermore, you should know that we, here in America, are fully aware of the difference between the dialects of English spoken on either side of the Atlantic. Your English is typically indicated with a clever little (UK) next to it on such things as computer software and the occasional printed document. Ours has a similar feature -- a (US) -- demonstrating that we *do* know there's a remarkable difference between the two versions of the language. And we are aware these differences exist beyond the issue of accent and spelling. Thus, we refer to our own dialect as -- wait for it...
*American* English. Yours is *British* English. (My apologies to the citizens of the Republic of Ireland. And even some of you in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Not to mention the rest of the former Empire.) That, by the way, is A-mer-i-can. Four syllables. No more, no less. I thank you for spelling it, and pronouncing it, properly in the future.
If you sincerely believe what you have written then you must live a very closeted life, with no access to your mainstream media or knowledge of how the right wing works in your country. I don't know why I am bothering to point that out, since a simple google will give you umpteen thousands of references.
"...we, here in America, are fully aware..." says it all, really. There's not really a great deal of which the average Merkin is aware. That's how it is with most third-world countries.
And as for your attempt to be patronising about the language, don't be such an utter tit. You may well have developed your own form of spelling and pronouncing English words, but that doesn't give you any brownie points on this side of the pond.
Woo! He's bringing back the third world with their diets of high fat, high calorie foods for an encore! Friggin' legend. Hurry, everybody gather round!
Bogwart knows all! \m/
I do live here, you know. I do know what the right-wing is and how it works. What I have to admit to is that I don't follow the "mainstream media," as I know just how corrupt it is. And so I avoid it and stick with public broadcasting and print. The mainstream is not something anyone should rely on. And the mainstream where I live is decidedly leftist, so even if I did pay attention to it, the right-wing conservative administration is not typically given glowing reviews. Except on Fox, but Fox is nothing more than a waste of time.
The current conservative administration is laughable. Did you pay attention to your mainstream media during the 2000 elections? Do you, perhaps, recall that the majority of the population *did not* vote for the right-wing, mumbling, moronic tool we've had to suffer with? Even in 2004, his "victory" was not monumental, just as it was riddled with scandalous voting practices in the glorious state of Ohio. I live in what we call a "blue state." We don't vote for Republican presidents very often. And, with a few exceptions, our "conservative" government representatives tend to be moderates. But we, here in my state, know what the right-wing does and is capable of doing. In fact, we're in utter turmoil because of the last election and the propaganda regarding a particular proposition that passed by a narrow margin -- and considerable contributions from religious organizations who also fund the Republican party. It is well documented what the right-wing is, does, will do, can do, thinks about doing, etc.. Do not imply that I do not know what my government consists of.
As someone who does not live here, how can you comment on what we are and are not aware? Did I ever make a comment on what you know? Have I taken the time to say "Hey, bogwart-1, you don't know what you're talking about?" No, I've simply expressed an opinion of your opinion. I haven't been sitting here, knocking the population of your country after basing my idea of it on slanted media exposure. If I were to stereotype (which I honestly, truthfully try *not* to do) the entirety of the United Kingdom off of how *you* have presented yourself, I would think you are all as narrow minded and arrogant as the ridiculous right-wing nutjobs who huddle around their bibles and bonfires made of Dixie Chicks merchandise in America's southern states, trying to come up with ways to thwart those "socialist, liberal democrat dogs." That is not how I view the population of the UK. But I could. Easily.
Lastly, I was not intending to earn brownie points with anyone. I was merely explaining that the United States is not blind to the difference in language spoken/written here and there. I think it's funny that you attack me about my spelling and pronunciation, but you don't really even know how I pronounce anything. I could pronounce it all like you do, except without a heavy accent. There could be people here who think I've immigrated from England because of how I speak. I could be thought of as a citizen of the British Commonwealth when I'm in Europe, again because of how I speak. It's possible, isn't it? Maybe not. You probably don't think so. And, really, English is a bastardisation of a number of different languages (Indo-European, French, Germanic, Latin...) -- what's the big deal if we bastardise it again?
I do know all about American politics, sadly. I say 'sadly' because I grew up with Americans and, like the rest of the world, took all the US propaganda BS as gospel truth. I know about the appointment of GWB (as distinct from the election of GWB) and I know about the vote disenfranchisement and general skulduggery which went into his re-election. I know the difference between red states and blue states, and have been very active on (mainly American) political forums since early 2001.
I find your statement that you don't elect Republican presidents very often somewhat puzzling, since in the last forty years you've had five Republicans and two Democratic. That seems to me to represent a preponderance of Republicans.
The major difference between yourselves and, for example, Europeans is your use of the terms right- and left-wing. Certainly as far as we are concerned even the Democrats are way to the right of any of our right-wing parties, and the Republican right-wing doesn't even bear thinking about, with its constant vilification of anything and anyone it deems unsound. There is in fact and for practical purposes no difference between your two parties, certainly insofar as foreign policy is concerned, and the fact that you have now elected a Democratic president after the insanity of the past few years will make absolutely no difference.
Just like his predecessor Obama has bought into the whole AIPAC thing, and intends to widen an unwinnable occupation in Afghanistan, wasting more young lives and money that is supplied by other countries. Except that particular tap has now been turned off, so it's hard to see how such derring-do will be financed in the future.
Just for interest, I would guess from your comments that you live in the North-East, one of the New England states.
Incidentally, it is wrong to use the word 'bastardise' in that context; it doesn't mean what you intend, and is a pejorative term. Certainly English as a language is derived from many sources, from Anglo-Saxon through the Romance languages, and contains a large amount of loanwords from other languages too. This is what gives it its flexibility and durability and has ensured its place as the world's most important language. What concerns me is the rate at which the vocabulary is shrinking, thanks in no small part to the rise of txtspk and email shorthand.
I love it that my film has sparked such a debate.
Long may it continue.

i'm glad you didn't decide on the mohican..
You should just give in, you know. There isn't any subject bogwart doesn't know infinitely more about than you. He knows exactly how you think and how educated you are (less educated than him, obviously) and probably what size clothes you wear as well. Oh, and if he puts on his magic glasses he can see your future, but I think he charges for that service now..
You should just be grateful that he's taken time out of his day to teach you about your country, its government, its people and the English language, all of which you - as an American and therefore automatic lazy mental defective who shuts themselves off from any form of knowledge attainment - know absolutely, positively nothing about. It's obvious you support your government as all Americans (or "pubic wigs" as bogwart likes to call us, ha!) do, so he's just shaking you awake to the horrible reality you had no idea you were dealing with and therefore obviously not having mini mental breakdowns about until this point. He's just trying to help you to be as amazing as he is, you arrogant pubic wig of a person! Sheesh!
Yes, he's turned this into a glorious classroom for all of us lowly knuckle-draggers who need his help. A school housed within a message board on IMDB for a dark comedy horror starring the brilliant Reece Shearsmith and Andy Serkis (GO WATCH THE FILM, FOR GOD'S SAKE! FLEE THIS HORRIBLE THREAD! IF PEOPLE ARE READING THIS WITH YOU, TRIP THEM AND LEAVE THEM BEHIND! SAVE YOURSELF!), which I'll never be able to watch again without remembering his selflessness and shedding a tear.

It should be titled traceys foul language
jennifer ellison is a actress in other words she learns a script and repeats it
some people seem to be getting the real life person and the character in this thread mixed up
I find it hard to believe that a discussion on foul language in a movie has somehow turned into a political debate, basically leading to name-calling over who lives in the "better" country.
Geez, lighten up people. They're only written words spoken by an actress for the purpose of entertaining. If you didn't find the dialogue to be entertaining, or found it offensive, use your remote control for what it was intended!
I wanted to shove my piece in her mouth listening to her.But stranglely I was upset when she was killed off
Domineering women annoy me and turn me on at the same time. It's a freakin mystery.
I didn't mind Jennifer swearing in the cottage and bummer when Tracey got killed off
