Backlash. Cool.
Maybe we can get Phillip Morris to host a movie premier in the U.S.
Nah!

I like it. I would even go if the movie stank, and it had Barbara Streisand, Alec Baldwin, and George Clooney in it.
To: elkfersupper
"Sin City" is an outlandishly creative flick.
You should smoke while watching it, even if you don't usually smoke.
A couple of strong margaritas beforehand won't hurt either.

This is something I like about Japan. They consider this an opportunity. Here in the States most would consider it discrimination. There would be protests and lawsuits and all types of hate spewed around. Not that Japan is without flaws, but this specific item is a virtue I wish we had here in the US.

Well...at least they picked a great movie.

A couple of strong margaritas beforehand won't hurt either.That is becoming increasingly impossible or inadvisable also (along with smoking).

If the movie is shown outdoors, great. But if not, will anyone be able to see the screen by the end?

No problem.

Sin City deserves to be seen in a large, smoke-filled room...

You should smoke while watching it, even if you don't usually smoke. Why? You sound like that anti-smoking nazis, but in the opposite direction.

I love it! Even though you can't yell "Fire!" in a theater, apparently, you can yell "Smoke!"

I haven't been in a movie theater since 1982 (E.T.) - can't get comfortable in the seats.

Is this the same Frank Miller who did all those really great Daredevil comics? And the Dark Knight limited series?His art and writing style are really powerful.
