New cinema is almost stupid, rude, and disgusting.
Where's great black and white comedies with Carry Grant, Fred Astaire, Irene Dunne, and many others.
I think they would be shocked and disappointed if they seen this smut
Where's old good Hays Code?

Rule 5.12.7 states, “A Merchant must not submit to its Acquirer, and a Customer must not submit to the Interchange System, any Transaction that is illegal, or in the sole discretion of the Corporation, may damage the goodwill of the Corporation or reflect negatively on the Marks.” It goes on, “The sale of a product or service, including an image, which is patently offensive and lacks serious artistic value (such as, by way of example and not limitation, images of nonconsensual sexual behavior, sexual exploitation of a minor, nonconsensual mutilation of a person or body part, and bestiality), or any other material that the Corporation deems unacceptable to sell in connection with a Mark.” Violations of rule 5.12.7 can result in fines, audits, or companies being dropped by the payment processors.

months older and still very happy with this one! currently doing some work on a piece about "California, Here I Come"! So still old, and I do give "The Thin Man" (1934) a shout-out.

🕵️♂️ Ever notice how classic film noir flicks feel… incomplete?
Blame the Hays Code. It forced writers to twist endings, soften characters, and kill off subtext.
The shadows didn’t just hide villains—they hid the truth.
