Black and white and Rat Pack-ish all over

Cool and classic are the watchwords for Justin Timberlake's new "Suit & Tie" video. Directed by David Fincher, who worked with JT on "The Social Network," the lush, black-and-white clip aims for debonair with a touch of seductiveness. Think George Clooney and the Rat Pack by way of a Gene Kelly musical. After a so-so foray into films, Timberlake returns to form and reminds us how well he can move in extended groove-shaking shots. Also look for Jay-Z and what appears to be an homage to the soaking scene in "Flashdance." What we could have done without: Seeing Justin smoke a cigarette, wink-wink nod to "Mad Men" or no. Watch the classy clip, then tell us what you think in the comments.
