This is why I don't get pseudonyms. If you're not using your true name you're not being true to yourself and the writing will suffer. There are truths you see in these movies, incredibly freakin' funny ones, and you need to convey them exactly as you perceive them, regardless of what language devices you have to use.
Your writing style has a feel of spontinaety, and if you pause to censor yourself it might fall apart. Sure, you'll go back and change/edit stuff after you're done, but if a word like "fuck" or "goddamn" slips into the stream of consciousness, leave it there. Your subconscious spat the word onto the page for a reason.
Just my $.02. It's not like I'm an expert on writing or anything.
