Let's add it to the list, Paul!

I can't remember how long it has been since I've seen that movie, but i really liked it. I thought Aidan Quinn's performance was very sensitive. I liked him.
Wasn't he in Desperately Seeking Susan? hmmm, need to check on IMDB

But Leslie, watch out -- there's a scene in which some pretty intense flirting is centered on ... smoking. There were a lot of logos in this movie, so I'm guessing they pocketed some tobacco industry money, too.

Hahahaha, I have such a reputation! LOL
Yesterday I watched my netflix DVD, "Imagine Me and You." I think I saw previews for this back in Brokeback Days. Or maybe with "Thank You for Smoking"...which I did go and see by the way. Do you realize in that movie you never see one character smoke? Lots of talk about cigarettes, of course, but no actual smoking. But I digress...
"Imagine Me and You" was...eh. Just so-so. Certainly an easy diversion for a Sunday afternoon, but nothing that I want to rewatch.
I don't think there was any smoking, though!

F-R, your post came in while I was writing. I loved Altered States! I was in journalism school at the time and it inspired me to spend time in an isolation tank and then write about it.

Unfortunately no, so the piece I wrote was somewhat anticlimactic. I didn't even have LSD-like hallucinations. I just got really, really bored.

Thank You for Smoking was the first movie I saw after Brokeback that I was able to enjoy without constantly thinking about how it wasn't Brokeback. BTW, for those who don't already know, the director of TYFS, Jason Reitman, also directed Juno.
