Say no more. I still remember watching that scene for the very first time. For me Lord of the Rings was probably the defining moment of my teenage years.
But still, the baddest person ever to smoke a pipe on screen was without a doubt the legendary Charles Bronson who was a true hero both in real life and on screen.
Not a fan of LOTR but the story's hero is Gollum.
Please don't paint all of the members with your brush. I wouldn't know "bling-bling" if it bit me in the ass. But, I will admit to being an ass at times. Nothing to do with jewelry though, it's the way I'm wired.
Then say "people in general." You said, "everyone of us." Pretty specific that "us." I can only determine what you meant by what you wrote. "Us" denotes the folks you are writing to, the members of the forum.
Sorry if I offended you. I simply hoped you might give more thought to word choices, improving getting your intent across.
But, you've fixed that and I sincerely hope your angst level is lowered by putting me into "ignore." I know for a fact you're not the only one here that has done that.
Great movie! If you haven't seen it you should give it a look.Joe Don Baker (known for the original Walking Tall) in Charley Varick, playing a mob enforcer. Here he casually smokes a pipe while forcing some loser to talk.

In Unforgiven, little Bill Daggett says "I'm building a porch here so I can sit of an evening and smoke my pipe, drink coffee and watch the sunset." You never actually see him smoking a pipe, though, so I don't know if it counts.
