Blowing Smoke: A movie about poker, cigars, women, and getting screwed: Muncie 911?

Muncie 911?

You get what you deserve, American viewing public:

An undetermined cast of celebrities will become Muncie [Indiana] police officers this winter for a CBS reality show, Mayor Dan Canan confirmed Tuesday... The celebrities will carry guns but will not answer emergency calls on their own, Muncie Police Chief Joe Winkle said...
Sources have said former television cop Erik Estrada, Jack Osbourne (son of rock star Ozzy Osbourne), former pro-wrestler Trish Stratus, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura and Jackass dwarf star Jason "Wee Man" Acuña are in the running for spots.

I'm not too worried about Wee Man having a gun (worst he could do is kneecap you), but Ventura? Better not make a crack about how at least Arnold could get reelected, or Jesse's likely to put a bullet in you. Although I wouldn't mind Trish Stratus frisking me, if you know what I mean! (I mean I want her to touch my penis.) All in all, it sounds like a brilliant idea with very little chance of multiple lawsuits.

OK, but...Jack Osbourne? The guy looks like he's still in puberty - are they going to give him a Big Wheel to go along with his gun?

Late one night, seven guys are sitting around at a cigar club in Beverly Hills, smoking cigars, playing high-stakes poker and complaining about how men always seem to get screwed-over by women. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door.

The movie is about what men talk about when women aren’t around. In the end they get fucked but not exactly the way they wanted it... You can love this movie or you can hate it. You might get it and enjoy it or you might get it and say a smart ass comment like "nothing here that I didn’t know about". That's fine, we can take it.

Oh, and we have used some really groovy digital technology making this movie, which should make any movie geek go weak in the knees.

The movie is now released on the blog and available to download directly.

Blogging Smoke

The Blog

This is where Blowing Smoke's cast and crew used to talk about everything related to the experience of making the movie, and the topics it addresses: men and women, cigars, and the crazy-ass world of relationships. Those dudes still check in from time to time, but right now your daily blogger is Jim Treacher, a guy who knows a thing or two about movies and the themes of Blowing Smoke. And if he doesn't, he can at least be funny about them - or die trying. (Yep, the death thing is in his contract.) It is also a conversation with those who have seen Blowing Smoke or are considering doing so. This blog has no non-smoking section.
