Well, there is a difference between having profanity and being full of profanity, but I’m not sure we should care. And that’s even presuming that a Blue Like Jazz movie could even be something I’d look forward to. There is a place foul crass language, especially in the conversations with those who either don’t have a problem with it or with those who actively revel in its use (not a small population in the college-aged bracket).
