Profanity in film and TV - what are your thoughts?

Stand By Me has a lot of swearing, yet barely much of it is malicious. 12yr olds gonna 12yr old.

Tarantino & Scorsese have so much swearing that it becomes texture of their vision. Jackie Brown I don't remember having as much swearing, which makes it seem the least-Tarantino feeling movie he's done.

I do feel like the comedy genre has used swearing as a crutch, among other things. I want more intelligent humour to emerge.
