Are you honestly telling me you're not supremely excited about the HBO film Confirmation, in which the mighty Kerry "Olivia Pope" Washington plays Anita Hill and the magnificent Wendell "The Bunk" Pierce plays Clarence Thomas? I didn't think you were. Not that I relish the thought of seeing Hill get railroaded, debased, and maligned again, but since this is directed by Rick Famuyiwa, who made the fantastic Dope last year, I like the chances for her to receive at least a morsel of narrative vindication.

Confirmation airs April 16 on HBO.
