Thank You for Smoking
Okay. Granted it was the book-on-tape, But I have been familiar with this book without having read it for ten years and I always thought it would make a great movie. Turns out, it's a very good movie. Aaron Eckhart is great in it, and it certainly accomplishes something great. It stays on it's politically incorrect, satirical tract to the end. I would have never believed the tense mood of politically correctness at a Hollywood film conservatory. It's reminiscent of the early nineties. In spite of this mood, almost everyone smokes. But when director Jason Reitman asked for a show of hands of who in the audience smoked, most people did NOT raise their hands. Telling.
