Michael Flatley is... Blackbird

[Default to the negative]

Ed Sheeran is totally doing the theme for this, isn't he?
He's a right-wing cunt, he has no shame, and Flatley can afford him.

Is Flatley a notorious right-winger?

I'd never looked at his wikipedia page until now. Doesn't seem to say anything about his politics. Drop me some truth bombs on the Lord of the Dance, please. I suddenly need to know.

'No, another art scene Ed.'

His dance troupe performed at the Trump inauguration. Presumably he didn't need the money.

Now picture Blackbird 2... with Tommy Wiseau as the baddy. That alone would be worth making this a hit.

This has reminded me of his glorious autobiography.

"Blackbird is a cool 50..."

this is going to be great

He also paints, albeit in an unconventional way:

Flatley produces abstract works by dipping his feet into paint and moving them across the canvas.

That autobiography sounds tremendous. Never ceases to amaze me that some of these "stars" lack even the shred of self-awareness to say to themselves, "I'm starting to sound like a bit of a bitter wanker here, better tone it down a touch".

[Mobius]

Just unbelievable how every anecdote in there is so Partridge.

I may have to read that book.
Entirely in Alan Partridge's voice in my head.  In fact I doubt I could do it any other way.

After reading some of the excerpts from that book, I'm VERY excited to see this film. Everything crossed for the real-world Partridge vanity project that we don't deserve.

[Hecate]

Just unbelievable how every anecdote in there is sooooooooo Partridge.

Aha!
