And the original script had Tibbs just accepting the slap, supposedly showing himself to be the bigger man. Poitier himself insisted the scene wouldn’t play that way, and he had to hit the guy back.

I watched that again a couple of months ago. Solid thriller.

Not that I ever need an excuse, but this is a good time to rewatch Sneakers

There was a fucking VIOLENT insurrection a year ago. I’m all for the arts, too, but perhaps we could do a bit more to make sure these things don’t happen again, rather than…

People keep telling me that Pelosi is a smart politician. I’ve yet to see evidence of that.
