This film pokes fun at Hollywood's attempts to glamorize cigarettes, in a very politically incorrect (and funny) way.

We have not settled on a schedule, rather, we've just begun leaving the recorder on every time we write.  It's different:  people can actually just walk in, and without their knowledge they've become a part of the "show."  It may become more standardized as we refine our process, but I know better than to make promises on this score.  I hope you enjoy it, it's been gone a lot longer than we intended.

Some guests at the annual Brown-Carter family reunion on Labor Day weekend plan to bring barbecued chicken or a cooler of sweet tea. Pat Lane is packing something else entirely: a jar of nicotine tar, dark and thick as molasses -- essentially the same consistency it has in smokers' lungs.

Characters smoke in nearly ever scene of Woody Allenâs latest film, but it was given a PG-13 rating. Where has Hollywoodâs get-tough stance on cigarettes gone?

Itâs been a good year for old-movie buffs. The DVD industry continued to mature in 2007; diminishing returns on newly produced films led both the big studios and the boutique labels back to the archives. Rapid advances in digital restoration techniques and a concerted attempt to return to original release material produced some amazingly handsome new versions of familiar films (âThe Jazz Singer,â âNosferatuâ), as well as neglected gems (âKiller of Sheep,â âTrue Heart Susieâ).

I met an old friend for coffee in San Francisco yesterday afternoon, and had a few hours to kill before stopping in at the Wired reunion party. I didn't want to drive back to Berkeley because the weather was so crummy, and I was just across teh street from a movie theater and was just in time for the start of a movie that lots of people had been telling me to see. So I went. The movie -- The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, I had no idea what it was about until the movie started, then I remembered hearing a Fresh Air show about it and finding it too painful to listen to. Now here I was in the theater, not just being asked to listen to it, but being asked to live it. Through some very wonderful film-making, you feel as if what is happening to the main character is happening to you. Or more accurately, probably, you get the slightest hint of what it's like to be this person. My immediate impulse, one which I gave serious consideration to, was to pack up my things and leave. Anything would be better than spending three hours living this guy's life.  Two things happen over time: 1. You get over it. 2. They change perspective, and instead of being inside his body, you move outside it.  I think those two things are the story we all live as we mature and learn to live inside our own bodies, with their limits. You learn to step outside and see the humor in your predicament. The main character says he lives in a diving bell because it's as hard for him to communicate with other people as it would be at the bottom of the ocean inside a diving bell. The movie teaches that it's not much easier for the rest of us, even though we can manipulate symbols better. On the other hand, of course it is. The film develops a relationship between the hero and his father, between the hero and his own children, his ex-wife, his lover.  We strive for deeper understanding of ourselves and each other. But it may be ridiculously easy to find the only meaning that exists, without language, without intellect, by just being. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly should probably be the picture of the year for 2007, it's that good. But like all great art it shows you something truthful about yourself, and you may or may not want to see it.
