Anyways, I'm going to watch the original before the new one as well.

Always a good idea to watch the original first. You know... when circumstances are the same.
Like, I wouldn't turn down an invitation to watch a remake with folks. Goes without typing.
You know I haven't seen Candyman yet either. It's on my list. I'll have to watch it sooner than later. It's pretty unique.
Funny about smoking...
When I was in grammar school we were taught about oral cancer and lung cancer with all the disgusting pictures. That had an impact on me not to smoke.
But probably bigger impact was my folks didn't smoke. My grandpa pretty much chained smoked. That ashtray odor didn't smell good, but the house also always smelled like sautéed onions.
Also, as a young adult on, I bummed cigarettes all the time from my friends who smoked, especially when drinking. They wanted me to smoke with them. I never really got anything out of it besides the physical routine which satisfied my fidgeting habit. I never had the desire to go out and buy a pack. I guess I'm somehow immune to nicotine addiction, or whatever desired effect it's supposed to have. I don't know how rare that is.
