Aren't American Spirits hippie cigarettes because they don't have artificial crap in them? I'd say they're part of a healthy breakfast along with a soy latte and bran muffin.
@Wrapitup: I've been trying to tell my non-smoking co-workers exactly that as they gnosh on their extra-cream-cheese bagels and fried egg with bacon sandwiches!!!
Whose the healthy one now?!?!
(I also argue that the reason the end of the filter looks so gross after I'm done is because filters are scientifically designed to be exactly as long as necessary to filter all the bad stuff out.)
The most rediculous thing about this is that the charachter was addicted to American Spirits. American spirits are for Seven Sisters girls who aren't addicted, but like to think they are, who think the brand is cool because of its ties to the American southwest, and who ESPECIALLY like that it takes almost 20 minutes to smoke one, because it forces whoever they're smoking with to stay long after they've finished their camels or marlborors and listen to them yammer on about the best Babaganoush south of Houston and, you know, The Bell Jar.
They claim that some 200,000 kids start smoking every year, because they're influenced by characters who smoke, in movies like Frozen River...
That has to be the weakest argument every by the PC Establishment against the entertainment industry. If kids want to emulate a single mother resorting to a life of crime (and smoking!) just to buy a double wide and Christmas gifts for her kids, then they've got bigger problems than NOT puffing on cancer sticks will ever fix.
@PaisleyPajamas: Hah. The Frozen River and I've Loved You So Long things were added by me. I think the AMA is more concerned about the dude who smokes in Watchmen and stuff.
Yup, the cigarettes were the worst part of this movie. Not, you know, the plot, the characters, and the universe they inhabit where Justin Long and Kevin Connolly are desirable.
Ok, I've never really criticized this site's content before, and I'm not starting now. So please don't take this the wrong way. But. What, exactly, is going on? Has Christian Bale purchased the Internet? Is he dating Denton? Is he holding you all at gun point and demanding to be blogged about?
Also, spoiler alert: They all get the guy at the end, right? Or some guy? Or getting pity-fucked by one of their cute gay friends who got just drunk enough to do their sad, sad fag hag a favor?
Richard, why do you make me feel so dumb sometimes? I actually get ashamed of myself when I read your stuff sometimes because you point out things that I have failed to notice for years despite being repeatedly smacked over the head with them. Well done my lil' helper. Well done.

oh, and btw, what got me smoking again was watching My Best Friend's Wedding years ago. Julia Roberts sucked down cigs like it was 1945.

Dumbo gave me a thing for pink elephants on parade, and ears.
