Thank You for Smoking

Henry and I went to the movies on Saturday (Thanks, Siobhan!) and saw Thank You for Smoking. I was interested in seeing it, and it was great. I enjoyed seeing the crafting of information and a story. Amazing the amount of effort being put into people continuing to smoke. Makes me think about our government and how things are controlled. Or not.

However, there was one point where the lobbyist seemed to turn on his main client and we never saw how that situation was resolved, or how much trouble he got in for giving information to the “other side.” Maybe that will be in the DVD extras.

Definitely worth seeing.

We went to see it on Sunday (thanks Siobhan!) and we loved it. Wasn't it hilarious? I thought it was just perfect that there was (SPOILER ALERT) no real redemption. He just continues to be the same morally amigous, you're right if people agree with you guy. That kept it light and fun rather than moral and gooey.

Haven't seen it yet but I loved the book. You can check out some of Christopher Buckley's other books at your library.

Excellent Movie! I keep forgetting to post about it.

I saw it last Saturday too! Did you see me way up in the front?!?
