I hope so. I mean, even if it just forces the other supposed Left parties to shift the narrative needle. But ideally they win big!!
Are Greens finally on MS news like Farage always was? We got his opinion whether we wanted it or not but not the other side of the coin.

Black and white photo of two Black male ballet dancers, shirtless in black tights. The one behind is in a second position plie on demi pointe, leaning slightly with his arms out to the side one curved up, one curved down. The second man is in front of the first on one knee facing us and his arms are curved in the opposite way so the men's arms appear to join forming an elegant looping infinity symbol.

I can't reply to the other post with this image, which doesn't credit the artists or add alt text.

Yeah. They really are up there. Every film just gets better. Have you seen Fruitvale?
I will literally watch anything they do from this point.

Hmmm. Things to like about both versions. Their relationship didn't feel as developed and he was less sympathetic.
Very intrigued to see what Michael B does with it, as he's back in the director's seat.
Aubrey Plaza is an interesting choice as his Vicky. Either way it'll look good.

I'm going clubbing next month. Looking for a new outfit is impossible. wtf happened to cute clubwear?!
It's either giving stripper on weird "lingerie" sites or too formal or nothing.
Luckily I still have a top from the noughties.
What are the kids wearing bc Genx & Millennials were looking cute AF?

This starts with more of a crime feel. McQueen isn't very sympathetic. He's a bored rich playboy doing crime.
But the cat and mouse and the double entendres have begun...

The split screen titles set the expectation because then we go into this sequence of the members of the heist, each within their own frame. It's so cool.
Steve McQueen was like the Miles Davis of Hollywood at the time i.e. the king of cool.

This is immediately iconic. The title sequence is giving Blue Note record album covers, with The Windmills of Your Mind playing

Today's matinee is... The Thomas Crown Affair (1968).
Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway.
Let's see if it's the split-screen stylish thriller I have in my head.
The 1999 one wasn't as hot as I remember. No chess.

Rocky is a classic. And this film goes back to those roots.
Glad they got their props from the industry, 10 years later, because they've never slipped.

Ah that's cool. Cool that he took a creative risk and went all in.

Ah okay. Good to know. 3 is directed by Jordan, so I guess he's not quite Coogler 😁

From that to Black Panther makes complete sense for both Coogler and Jordan. That was a Black superhero movie.

Everyone was outstanding.
And of course Ludwig GΓΆransson ensuring the soundtrack was god tier.

Me by the end...

How did Michael B not get nominated for this movie?!? I keep forgetting I'm watching a film during the fights & training. He's so locked in.
Also the way the fights are filmed is like watching an actual bout.
And the way they honoured this classic scene from the original film but made it PhillyπŸ”₯

I like the documentary style of direction. It's really intimate and has an old school feel.
