It ruined Coffee and Cigarettes...


While I like the social experiment that is "Coffee and Cigarettes", it ultimately ruined coffee and cigarettes.

Before this movie, the act of sitting at a cafe with a cup of coffee and a stick was just some "unspoken" orgy. Smokers knew how well tobacco and coffee mixed, and only talked about it in passing. Before this movie, waitresses would just say the normal chatter. Now everytime I light up they ask "Have you seen C&C?" or some comment regarding coffee and cigarettes. While it doesn't happen everytime, instances similar to this happen all too frequently. It's like I am on some podium. You can hear what people are thinking, "Oh my god, he's actually doing it! Just like the movie, look at him".

It mostly only happens in the gully coffeehouses, but you get the drift...

I have no idea what kind of coffee shops you go to, (please don't say starbucks or any other chain...) but I've never had that experiance at any of my locally owned hometown cafes, but then again, everyone smokes here.

Exactly. I don't think its a bad thing that they are mentioning this to you - lets just enjoy the fact that such a good film is being watched by many.

Same here with smoking bans. The only place I can sit out of the weather with a coffee and a cigarette is inside my own house.
