We are less than perfect, somamy system that is human is subject to stagnation, evolution or devolution

They way you put down Black folks I thought you were white. Unlike yourself I don't hide my face. You get a lot of exercise running your mouth, jumping to conclusions and pushing your luck. However if you persist I'll get that Bronx kid on your hidden hide. Do you what you want, and I'll do what needs be done. I don't know but he's very close to getting to know the Bronx side. Clearly wants to engage, get your snacks.

How was that response, @Troy

Everytime you talk, my crap detector goes off Noone here is fooled by your foolishness.

I was in a car doing 100 K an hour and we got past like we weren't even moving by Benz's and BMW'S, even got past by a Scirocco then realised even though it's a VW it's still German engineering. Posting data out of context is less than useful. You would have to also show average number of moles driven, number of cars. It would so bee good to segregate holiday driving out as well. Roundabouts are used quite a bit in Sydney. Traffic does stop sometimes but not for as long as a traffic light. However it makes pedestrian crossing more "exciting"

I think he will. He had a vision and he is creating his own lane. They are very different filmmakers. Spike is genius at marketing and his films are very watchable. Peele is very subtle. Picking cotton saved the character in Get Out. He also gave us Daniel Kaluyaa and Lakeith Stanfield

From the cops. It's how he got his name sweet back. Like in the scene with the biker crew. Where their leader is a woman. And he is challenged to fight her. That was his son Mario. He may have been the inspiration for NWA's Hundred Miles and runnin Found this , Melvin Van Peebles ...: having turned his back on a profitable three-picture deal with Columbia Pictures in response to studio resistance to his ideas,[41] he raised funds entirely in the independent sector, worked with non-union racially-mixed crews, and Having produced a film for $150,000 that grossed more than 15 million,[42] Van Peebles became an industry phenomenon. He is regarded as an innovator

When Blade Runner was released it wasn't well received. Some movies get a lukewarm reception than become Cult classics or midnight movies

Sweet Back was a runaway slave. That was Mo Better Blues. That was the movie Spike Lee wanted to do for Denzel Washington

Just throwing out the trash...talker

I should say that acquisition isn't just about purchasing goods. For instance you can acquire a new skill.

I don't think it is possible to compare films across time or cultures. So stories can't get better since they are a function of the time, place and power dynamics. Here are a few films that I think are really good films Star Wars The Matrix Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Sweet back badass song Superfly (The soundtrack is a perfect album) Hero Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Too Tired to Die (Jeffrey Wright is one of my favourite actors) 2046 (Almost any Wong Kar Wai film) Diva Any Luck Beeson film. Infernal Affairs ( Any film with Tony Leung) Who is the best actor you've seen in a Spike Lee film.

Pioneer it seems we are having an intelligent conversation ... without you.

I think that may be true for special effects and film technology but this is less relevant for scriptwriting. West Side Story = Romeo and Juliet = Pyramus and Thisbe. So you have a few centuries in between stories. But it still works.

How about a head that reflects all the colours of Blackness

I mention because it is a non mainstream Black Film. It's an independent so it's a bit quirky . It is worthwhile for you to watch. Less so for Pioneer

Is happiness related to your ability to acquire what you desire?

@Richardmurray I haven't seen Nope. I can't compare She's Gotta have it to Get Out. Peele's films don't break the fourth wall. Even though his films are somewhat SciFi/Horror, they still feel like you are watching the character's experience. I could be mistaken but there is no first person voice Spike's first three. Or it feels more like an ensemble than a lead actor You could argue that Lee had Blaxpoitation films as a genre. And Peele had Lee Snipes and Denzel. There is a little known film called Chameleon Street by Wendell Harris.

Man ain't nobody here your B*tch

That's an interesting request from someone who makes up his own definitions

A person's position and how they function in that position demonstrate intelligence. We assess a persons intelligence in a variety of ways. However intelligence has a cultural bias and in this conversation it has a personal one as well. There are advantages to appearing to be dumber than you are in actuality. Some try to appear smarter than they are this doesn't work as well.

I have been thinking about people's concepts of the way the world works. Maybe the ideas aren't true universally or perhaps there are unknown windows when and where they are true.

Glad to hear you're on the mend. What was the pecking order?

She was in Sparkle with Philip Michael Thomas

Ernest Dickerson's camera work for Spike Lee was amazing. The scene in Mo Better Blues had the camera rotating around the bed, was an innovation. For me the biggest difference is that Jordan Peele's films are more nuanced. Whereas with Spike Lee it's more in your face. Plus the settings for Peele tend to be more suburban even rural. I think the best Lee movie was Inside Man. My favourite was She's Gotta Have it. I went to the premiere of Summer of Sam.
