An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, they say, but at times you just have to stand up and fight back. There is no peace to the wicked! Enough is enough. God bless you! bp

“In the film “In the Heat of the Night” (1967), Sidney Poitier plays a detective investigating a murder in the deep South, which played in theatres at the height of racial tensions and civil rights protests in 1967.” “It was the first time a Black man had ever slapped a white man on screen in a Hollywood film, breaking long-standing racial, social, and cinematic conventions.” “Poitier insisted on the slap, telling filmmakers, “If [Endicott, plantation owner in the film] slaps me, I'm going to slap him back.” “It signalled the end of Hollywood's traditional and stereotyped roles for Black characters.”

Name a 1960s movie that hits harder on race, justice, and character than In the Heat of the Night. I’ll wait. Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger were different. 🎬📺 In The Heat Of The Night 🔥❤️

Sidney Poitier walked into the Deep South, slapped a white man with words, and made the whole theater cheer in 1967. They call him Mr. Tibbs. We still call him King. In the Heat of the Night is cinema scripture. 🎬🎥 In The Heat Of The Night. 🔥❤️

NOW: President Trump celebrates the "very big moment" of Raul Castro being indicted and what it means to the Cuban people: "We have Cuba on our mind, it's very important.... It was a very big moment for people, not only Cuban Americans, but people who came from Cuba, that want to go back to Cuba, see their family in Cuba." "They supported me to the nth degree, they supported me at levels that nobody's ever seen before. And so I think it's a very important moment."

Riz Ahmed on why his upcoming film ‘Hamlet’ reframes the classic Shakespearean play to tell the story from the perspective of South Asian culture in London: “It speaks directly to the moment that we’re in right now. ‘Hamlet’ is a story about someone grieving the illusion that the world is a fair place and I think that’s how so many of us feel” #RedSeaIFF25 RedSeaFilm

This is the moment in the film where the character utilizes the mask to unleash her elemental fire powers. The slight glow in her eyes, the slow-motion animation and subtle heat haze distortion were used to intensify the moment - things are about to heat up.

🛸 This scene from the 1994 film Roswell: The Cover-Up has always stuck with me, the moment when the being allegedly tells the military: “More of them are coming… many different races.” What if that line wasn’t fiction? 👁️‍🗨️

The Wolverine (2013) opens with Logan at Hiroshima and instantly grounds him in real history, that moment carries more weight than most of the film that follows. So many strong pieces scattered through it, but it never quite clicks as a whole.

.Ben Shapiro tells Katie Pavlich that many of the organizers of protests/obstruction in Minneapolis are knowingly putting people in danger to further their political agenda: "The people who are arriving at these points are not there to protest. They're there to actually obstruct the implementation of federal law...and that means that whatever happens next...could be dangerous...A lot of the people who are organizing this stuff know that going in even if many of the protesters/obstructionists actually don't."
