There was also NO SMOKING in Lars and the Real Girl, and the only scene with any drinking was at the party.

Then how come you didn't like it more then you did?! ;D
BelAir:
random interlude (feel free to continue the smoking debate) -
I saw Nat'l Treasure 2 in the theater today (entertaining) and I saw a scary movie poster and in my head went "ew - that looks too scary to see in the theater" - then I realized it was The Dark Knight (which of course I will go see in the theater)! Have you guys seen it??? It's mostly white with a red smile and "Why so serious?" in red with (i think) the joker outlined in the background... I really can't believe I was frightened from a gazillion feet away...

You know, I saw it the day after Thanksgiving and I was feeling really down that day. More than I realized at the time. And all those dreary scenes of the midwest in winter, knowing Winter was coming to Maine (we'd already had a storm at that point, I think)...it probably just didn't hit me in the right frame of mind. Maybe it was my mistake to see it that day, who knows?
But I did notice the absence of smoking!
And oilgun, you are online on a Sunday evening. Does that mean your home computer is fixed?

I saw "I'm Not There" at The Movies on Exchange Street which is this little, tiny, funky, indie theater in the Old Port of Portland, ME.
I haven't been to the Movies in ages. Random thoughts: I am glad the place had heat! The seats were really uncomfortable and close together. I felt like I was on an airplane. And I have a whole new respect for the sound systems in the multiplexes, as well as the digital movies.
Movies that are coming to The Movies include "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly," and "Persepolis." So I might be in those uncomfortable seats again in the next few weeks. LOL
