DVD release

Anyone have any details on a DVD release? 71.201.59.110 09:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I just bought it on DVD here in Canada yesterday (March 17, 2007) so it's out now. 23skidoo 14:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Bill Cosby

I just watched the DVD and there's no sign of Bill Cosby anywhere in the film, so I have removed him from the list of interviewees. If he was interviewed and was cut from the film (or for some reason is omitted from the DVD version of the film), this needs to be noted with a source. 23skidoo 14:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

It's a fuckin' good documentary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.49.171.207 (talk) 07:54, October 7, 2008‎

Fair use rationale for Image:Fuck film poster.jpg

Image:Fuck film poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Uses per minute

This article has the count at 857 uses for a UPM of 9.52 but the linked WP article List of films that most frequently use the word "fuck" has a count of 824 for a UPM of 8.86. Which one is right? --Mwn3d (talk) 17:40, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

We'd need good reliable and verifiable secondary sources for this info to be included in the article. — Cirt (talk) 06:18, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Best I've been able to find so far in a secondary sources is The Austin Chronicle, which says "over 800 times", so I added that, diff. — Cirt (talk) 06:28, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Update: Multiple secondary sources confirm the "over 800 uses" in the documentary. However, the special feature "Fuck Counter" in the DVD itself for the film, ends with a final count of 825. I'll cite this and add it as a note as well. — Cirt (talk) 01:46, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Update: 857 verified by secondary source, The Miami Herald, per cite — Garvin, Glenn (May 27, 2011). "How to hear the F-word 857 times on TV - F**k. 2-4 a.m. Saturday. Documentary Channel". The Miami Herald. Florida: The McClatchy Company. — Cirt (talk) 02:26, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Alternate titles

Lots of alternate titles used for this film, naturally, including for example, The F-Bomb, per www.unz.org and www.lib.muohio.edu. — Cirt (talk) 03:35, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

I think we should list "The F-bomb: A Documentary" (2006) as an alternate title and redirect. That's the only title I could find at Netflix. Rotten Tomatoes lists the same film twice: Fuck (F*ck) (2005) and The F-bomb: A Documentary (2006). Miami University Library lists it as The F-Bomb / Image Entertainment ; directed by Steve Anderson. -- Brangifer (talk) 18:12, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 Done, thank you for these helpful suggestions, — Cirt (talk) 18:57, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
You're welcome. We should provide RS for them as well. Which ones would be good enough? -- Brangifer (talk) 19:46, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Okay, I will get on that soon, just want to research best sources for each one. — Cirt (talk) 21:36, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
 Done, hopefully that's a bit better. — Cirt (talk) 00:48, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Sweet! Good work. -- Brangifer (talk) 03:49, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Thank you! :) — Cirt (talk) 03:51, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

University of Florida

The film was recommended as a resource to students by Dr. Richard Stepp in his Fall 2007 course "Ethnographic and Documentary Film" at the University of Florida.[1]

Removed above from the article, per GA Review. Interesting tidbit, just noting it here on the talk page for now. — Cirt (talk) 05:08, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

This article had a GA Review and was successfully promoted to WP:GA quality. The review is at Talk:Fuck (film)/GA1. — Cirt (talk) 05:21, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Listed for peer review

I've listed this article for review as part of the WP:Peer review process.

Help with furthering along the quality improvement process would be appreciated, at Wikipedia:Peer review/Fuck (film)/archive1. — Cirt (talk) 02:13, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Comments by queen of aquitaine

The article itself seems fine to me but the title is a little misleading. The ttile suggest the article is about the swearword not the movie itself.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Queen of Aquitaine (talk • contribs)

Thank you for your comments. What would you suggest to change? — Cirt (talk) 16:31, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
