    Movie recommendation for tonight, Sneakers One of the best movies of the 90s in my humble opinion, and one of the greatest casts ever assembled, Robert Redford and Sidney Poitier? Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, Ben Kingsley, even James Earl Jones is in on the party, if you've not seen it, do so now!

    it's kind of bizarre that the right has picked up Sidney Sweeney as some sort of right wing hero when her most personal film is a passionate criticism of the Catholic church and is pretty undeniably pro abortion.

    In 1966, Sidney Poitier put a sentence into his Hollywood contract that no Black actor had ever demanded before. The studio had to guarantee that in every version of the film shown anywhere in the world, audiences would see him slap a white man back.

    Then they brought him home to Cat Island in the Bahamas. There was no electricity, no paved roads, no running water, just tomato fields and salt air and the Atlantic. Sidney Poitier did not see a movie until his family moved to Nassau when he was ten.

    No Way Out (1950). Depicts a race riot. At one point a character uses the N word dozens of times in a row uninterrupted. Much of Sidney Poitier's career would be hard to remake these days. Pressure Point (1962) where he's a therapist trying to deprogram a Nazi. Maybe that's exactly what the world needs a remake of right now, but we're not gonna get it. Basic Instinct (1992), Body Heat (1981), that sort of thing. They might remake it into a TV show, but they're not putting that much sex in…

    Scream 8 can only go two ways. 1. Working from the original premise of genre subversion, Sidney spends the entire film expecting Ghostface to pop up at any point. But they never come. The film becomes a serious look at the lasting effects of PTSD. 2. Busta Rhymes kung fu fights Ghostface

    “It is a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done. A far better rest I go to than I have ever known.” Captain Kirk’s lines near the end of TWOK are actually said by Sidney Carton in Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities, the book that Spock gifts Kirk at the beginning of the film.
