• New on Nerve, 1.25.08: Rambo Returns!

  Hitting the multiplex this weekend? Already seen Juno eighteen times? The Film Lounge reviews the latest cinematic releases…and let’s you rate ’em, too. Ah, the power. Check out the latest, before you give Stallone $20 of your hard-earned money: Rambo: “Opening with news footage, Stallone appears to be making a statement about global indifference towards the ongoing Burmese genocide. He isn't." 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days: Just about the exact opposite of Juno. The Air I Breathe: Features Forrest Whitaker as a flustered accountant; Andy Garcia as a crazy loan-shark mobster; Brendan Fraser as a thug with a gift for prophecy (really); Emile Hirsch as the boss’ petulant nephew; and, you know, Sarah Michelle Gellar as a pop superstar named “Sorrow.” Oh Buffy, where art thou?

• New on Nerve, 10.29.07: How much nipple, exactly?

  This morning we have a quiz based on Screen It, an online database originally made for parents, that details objectionable content in a movie. Can you identify films based on their unsuitable subject matter? See for yourself… Sample Question: This list of "Profanity" comes from what film? At least 260 "f" words (forty used with "mother" — with another written on a wallet — and four used sexually), eighty "s" words, two slang terms for male genitals (the "d" word), one slang term for female genitals (the "p" word), forty-four asses (four used with "hole"), seven damns, five hells, one S.O.B., and twenty-four uses of "G-damn," three of "Jesus Christ," and one each of "God" and "Jesus" used as exclamations.
