Thank you for smoking
So I saw Thank you for Smoking... I found it neither amusing or illuminating. Could be that I am reading a book called Doubt is Their Product, which examines the "science of confusion industry" in a deadly serious manner. Was the entire of point of this movie "personal responsibility is important?". That's it? Really? Goddam Libertarians. I am falling out of love with Jason Reitman and his love of his own cleverness. I am just not ready to admit the world is so completely absurd (despite evidence to the contrary), and find the smug musing of a a famous director's kid enlightening. I liked Juno the first time... Does not really hold up the second time... Boy am I cranky...
