I don't usually disagree with you Smith, but you're wrong on 3 counts here. Miike is not a hack, he has made some very highly regarded and extremely diverse films. Battle Royale was not one of them however, not because it was not a good film, but because Miike didn't make it.

I'm not sure who he thinks he is but seems he has the wrong idea about himself. He's the Mayor of Osaka, he doesn't need it. No-one outside of Osaka needs to know who he is. 99% of the people in the world couldn't find Osaka on a map.

I'm a 'fascist' about smoking and smoking only. Killjoy? Ahahaha . I don't care about anything you do except smoking around me. Still, if your little rebellious streak gives you the motivation to keep smoking and "sticking it to the man" go with it, keep the delusion alive!

It's just so lame. The only people who don't want you to quit are big businesses and the government. Your family, friends and almost everyone else around you wants you to either stop or just drop dead right now. Family and friends probably choose the former but when I am near a smoker it is always the latter. NOT because of passive smoking but because you are so effing rude and devoid of manners and sense I'd simply be a lot happier if you weren't here.

Thomas Harris is one of the most respected novelists of the past few decades. It is your 'understanding' of literature that is lacking Yardley.

Smokers talking about freedom to smoke....hahaha. Like you have a choice in the matter. You need legislation to help you do what you don't have the willpower to do. It's an issue of health for sure but for me it is more an issue of manners.You'd think smokers would care what other people think since it was probably peer pressure that made them start. Learn from your peers now. The large majority if people want you to stop and more than likely so do you. Freedom to be a slave...omfg.

Quite unfair to say so. The majority of smokers lack the sense or manners to consider other people. I walk through a no smoking station zone every day and every day see several people smoking whilst standing on top of the huge no smoking signs, oblivious to anyone around them. Everytime I exit a train station someone will start smoking as soon as they pass the ticket gate. Most restaurants still permit smoking. Smokers don't deserve freedom on this, clearly doesn't work. The requisites for smoking are stupidity, selfishness and weakness, how can we expect them to stop or be considerate? Most of them want to quit, their family, friends and fellow citizens want them to quit. Freedom to smoke...pfffft.
