Pie.

Speakin a lady business, here's somethin BBM brought my way that I probably never would have known about otherwise.  Have the sound up nice and loud:

MaineWriter:
I knew there was a "Thank You for Smoking" thread floating around here somewhere.

I went and saw this today with my daughter. I got a laugh. Watch closely for the sight gag of "St. Euthanasius" school.

I did notice the pie problem mentioned earlier--and as a New Englander, I was horrified--apple pie with cheddar is NOT a piece of pie with a slice of American cheese on top, looking like it has been stuck in the microwave for 15 seconds. Blech!

The entire movie is about smoking, but you never see a lit cigarette anywhere in the film (in fact, I don't think I ever saw a charcter even holding a cigarette).

Belive it or not, there is a tangential BBM connection--nice scene at the Santa Monica pier, including a ride on the ferris wheel. I thought of Ellemeno and our (now absent) Surf after the Aero screening.

PS--update, forgot mention this before--Katie Holmes sucks.

Front-Ranger:
Thanks for the review, Leslie. I'm trying to talk my husband into seeing this, but he has gotten so he won't see any movie that has any hint of liberal politics in it. So I thought this one would be safe. Do you agree? I think the book was written by Chris Buckley, so it should pass the test.

There's a parallel pie thread starting to bake on my Brokeback Blog.

serious crayons:
I saw it a couple of weeks ago and it was the first movie I'd genuinely enjoyed since BBM. Not that they're in the same stratosphere. Just that I didn't sit there through the whole thing going "This is fine, but it's no Brokeback" over and over and over, as I did with "The Squid and the Whale." That movie was actually pretty good, but I saw it too soon after my earliest Brokeback viewings.

Since then, I've come to realize that there are movies, and there is Brokeback, and they're two different things, and if I ever want to enjoy a movie again I can't hold it to the same standards.

Chanterais:
Mmmmmm..............pie. 

Blueberry pie.  Or maybe bumbleberry pie, if I'm feeling frisky.  No cat pie.

I haven't seen Smoking (it's on the list), but now I know there's pie in it, I think I know what I'm doing tonight.

I think I also know that my destiny is to be a pie wrangler.  I would be awesome.
