    Movie What's the last movie you saw? (8)

    Thief (1981) - Michael Mann's first feature film, starring James Caan as a safecracker looking for one last big job before he goes straight.

    I mean, hey, the most popular artist in the world right now is a long dead pedophile. In total, he got to 33 chapters before it abruptly ended when he was sent to jail.

    USA USA Presidential Election 2028 - assuming we're all still alive

    The Republicans always gerrymander and suppress voting - not going to say it won’t be worse this time but I doubt it will be insurmountable. They also seem borderline delusional about how popular they are, so probably aren’t hitting the “right election” button as hard as they might otherwise...
