In Hollywood you can't even smoke in a bar anymore and yet in the movies they're always showing people smoking. I don't get it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Look at any black-and-white movie; everybody is smoking.
There are no crowds out there demanding to see smoking scenes in movies.
From what I've been able to determine, many of our big stars are addicted to tobacco. They want to smoke in movies for the same reason I smoked as I wrote, which is that they think their performance is going to be better.
I don't smoke and I don't want to smoke. I am not a fan of gratuitous smoking in films.
It's cinematographic to smoke. Imagine Lauren Bacall without a cigarette.
Everybody smokes! Models, actresses, everyone! Don't they realize that it's gross? I understand it's an addiction, but it still pains me to see my friends do it.
In the 1940s, cigarettes would be shown in classy situations, endorsed by celebrities - real A-list Hollywood stars in America - the ads would make claims about tobacco quality or manufacturing science and, bizarrely, some brands had what almost amounted to health claims.
You live these three months in this reality, in this dark reality. You don't want to do those films every year because they're taxing. I started smoking a lot of cigarettes.
Hollywood is where they shoot too many pictures and not enough actors.
I can't remember what the last film I saw was, as I can't smoke or drink in cinemas.
