Nice. Seems the antis have been at it a while…

The funny thing mick is this is supposed to be about how awesome smoking is. I know it doesn’t seem like that but the people that made it claimed smoking to be the bomb.

I’m used to silent films having music that conveys the mood. That would have helped get a better idea of the film’s intent but it was entertaining nonetheless.

@bob, I thought it was a good thing too, until the nymph started a fire on the table.

Tom this one is that old I guess it’s from before people had music. @bigmick that’s how good it is even a little table fire is worth this vice. It’s probably some metaphor that would have made sense back then but now a days just looks like the actions of a mini pyromaniac.

I saw this a year or so ago. For some reason I remembered it as “Lady Nicotine.” Supposedly this was a pretty revolutionary film, pushing the limits of special effects. For some reason I can’t remember its historically significant. I suppose I should just ask wikipedia before I start typing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess\\_Nicotine;\\_or,\\_The\\_Smoke\\_Fairy

yeah it’s pretty old and from when film was still more of a novelity then a true artform. I found it by accident and thought snuffhousers might dig it. Gonna read the wikipedia article now.

Thanks for pointing this out. I sort of disagree with some of the above. Yes the princess did set a fire, but frankly I felt she was provoked. That dude was hardly nice with his cigar blowing smoke at her when she obviously was not enjoying it. (I am a cigar smoker so this is a sort of sensitive side-we, as a group can do an awful lot to not antagonize the ‘nonbelievers’). Prior to that point, the princess and her ‘stage manager’ were pretty delightful really.
