Current Talk '24 I / Re: (**TWO NEW PHOTOS!! Reply #1264**) Depp/Burton DARK SHADOWS Is In Production!!
« on: November 20, 2011, 04:08:07 AM »MB, that is fascinating about cigarette smoking meaning an instant R rating.
I forget what the name of the film was (because it wasn't anything that interested me), but the producers had a big fight with the MPAA earlier this year over their film getting an R because it included smoking. But in the end the R rating remained. So, if Burton & Co. want a PG-13, I suppose Julia won't be seen smoking...

I notice so many 20 somethings, particularly bright hip ones, around Cambridge puffing away like nobody's business. I assume that the cigarette companies targeted kids in middle school and high school, but of course this crowd also watches a lot of mid 20th century films and television shows and the old association of cigarettes and coolness seems to be back with us. It's sooo sad.
Something about smoking is definitely getting kids in middle school interested again because the other day I saw two kids get off the bus from the local middle school and both of them couldn't wait to light up as they came walking down my street. I swear neither of them could have been older than 13. And it is quite sad. It's one things for adults to make the decision to smoke - but 13-year-olds should not be smoking. But we digress...
