When this film comes to England, I will be one of the first to see it.It is called 'Thank You For Smoking', and it is a brilliantly witty and intelligent treatment of the bullshit-bigotry surrounding state aggression against the poor twits who smoke; the tobacco industry is portrayed as a great defender of liberty, in an entirely nefarious way.
Of course, knowing the bowdlerisation of genuine American culture that serves to keep the British yokel yoked, we probably won't get it.
That will be a pity.
