i don't know why they switched from tobacco to weapons, but i thought it did make more sense to focuson weapons in times like these, because tobacco is not that kind of a huge issue currently, but weapons and laws allowing owning and the use of weapons are a problem that's been heavily discussed. i could imagine that was the reason why they thought turning it into a weapon discussion would attract more people and also make more people think. and about paying money for the movie - i mostly don't think the latest releases are worth their money, but i think Runaway Jury
is worth it.

Theory the movie really is good. I went on a whim because I had nothing better to do. I came out of this movie refreshed. It was a nice twist and the movie played out well. I had not read the book so I did not know what to expect. Maybe you could check out the matinee, aren't they cheaper?

I'm really nervous about this movie. I'll see it when it comes out on video, I guess, but won't plunk down $7.75 for it. I was really excited, because I love the book to death, until I found out they changed the entire direction of the story by suing gun makers instead of Cigarette companies.
