No - Steve McQueen and Pierce Brosnan did it better


Re-tread movies have gotten older than shite, a third movie should not acquire the original title. Sounds about as good as Apple's shite box called Cape Fear.

Who did you mean by “he”?
Generally the character

Specifically the only version I was aware of when I posted, Brosnan

You thought I was definitely talking about the only one of the 2 that is obviously not british

That is fascinating to me, and I want clarity on why you were so sure I could only have been talking about Steve McQueen.

Because Steve McQueen was in the original. You were the first person to comment on this post. What else would I think? Why would he be British? It’s not my fault you didn’t know Steve McQueen was Thomas Crown.

Hmmm. . .

Why would I think he is British?

You are clueless?

You honestly have no idea?

I'm sure this will be as faithful an adaptation as Without Remorse was.

Yeah, why? Because of Pierce Brosnan? Like I said, you don’t know movies. Steve McQueen was TC.

Why wouldn’t he be? Who gives a shite? The only people that care are racists like the people on TD.

Yeah, but you have something to say about it, don't ya? Someone asked a question about the character's motivation to steal from whitey and you snapped and called everyone on TD racist. Is that something a rational person does? "Hey, why is he stealing?" "You're a racist!" It's a retarded response.

Bruh. MBJ did by remaking a film to subvert expectations on race, rather than just making his own film.


You literally can't do that then point the finger at someone else bringing up race. Don't be silly.

So you do know.

Why would you then assume the only person I could be referring to is the famously American actor, rather than the British actor who played him most recently.

Instead of thinking "maybe, for any number of reasons, he is unaware of McQueen's version.", you thought instead "He is definitely NOT referring to Brosnan's very popular take on the character. He has to be thinking Steve McQueen is British."

This is the logic I am trying to get to the bottom of, pumpkin

Apparently so, as was Pierce Brosnan

Because that isn’t the story of the Thomas Crown Affair, retard

We’re the racists? Jordan said this classic story with white men “doesn’t land today”, and altered the story to a black revenge story against white men.

For not wanting to that? For disrespecting the source material and the prior actors?
