I only say yes because I think alot of Spike Lee movies rub the Hollywood elite the wrong way.... He aint coonin so they dont really need him.... Also the elite don't like his views and opinions.........

And then there's this.................. n/h


Completely ruined him...........

 
He used to make sum great movies. Malcolm X, Mo Better Blues, Do the right thing , Bamboozled etc. But he's lost it

It ain't really about him not coonin'. Its just that he ain't making great films anymore

 
After Bambozzled which came out in 2000, the only Spike Lee movie I've heard of is Miracle at St Anna..... Does he have anything out between Bambozzled and Miracle at St Anna?

25th Hour is decent. but its a cliche type movie
 
Black Hollywood has taken that turn again. Before Spike it was only Blaxploitation flicks about pimps and drug dealers 'n shit. Then Spike crushed the buildings making movies about racial and social issues and White Hollywood through a wet towel on that nigga career.

If a nigga aint making a gangster flick, a pro-feminine black woman as victim movie, another one of those racing joints or a coon flick Hollywood aint trying to support it. Spike been getting played because he can't get funding to get his movies made. Shit rich Blacks bankrolled the making of Malcolm X because nobody would support it.

That's what happens when keepin' it real goes wrong.
 
First of all Django Unchained isn't great. And Spike isn't washed up I thought Inside Man was very good but he did have a major misstep with Miracle in St. Anna. I appreciate Spike and his film and will always support.
 
LOL, So Spike Career is over cause you watched "Django" and liked it? 1st Spike never said the movie was bad or that the actors sucked or QT was a bad director. He simply said the movie wasn't for him cause he felt making Slavery a shoot em up bang, bang western was disrespectful. Spike had a problem with the premise then the whole net exploded like he shitted on everyone who was apart of the movie when he didn't. Everyone judges movies before they see them. We all watch trailers all the time and certain movies do it for us and certain ones don't.

Spike never held his tongue so it is what it is. But Spike Career is far from over, he has "Old Boy" coming out next year which has a built in fanbase and great cast. Also there are plans to make "THE LA RIOTS" film. Spike also has a great Documentary career and still does commercials. Spike is fine. LOL @ Spike career being over cause he doesn't want to watch "Django". Also Hollywood kinda blackballs Spike cause he's a REAL Negro, Hollywood doesn't like Real Strong Black men that tell it like it is. Spike never broke the box office but he's been making movies for 25 years just like Woody Allen who's movies never gross a lot. Spike has his audience and fanbase that support him. He's a Legend and has nothing to prove.

No I read the post, why even bring up "Django" at all when you are talking about Spike Career being over? The two have nothing to do with each other. I understood you just asking a question but by bringing up "Django" it comes off like "oh Spike was wrong about Django is his career over".

That niggas career been over since 98!!!

"Inside Man" came out in 06:

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic: $88,513,495 48.0%

+ Foreign: $95,862,759 52.0%

= Worldwide: $184,376,254

Off 45 Million Budget. "St. Anna" was underwhelming but I'm looking forward to "Old Boy".

How can u "KINDA" blackball someone?

Bottom line is Spike hasn't made a good film in a long time. And all he is known for now is being bitter and being angry at other people's films. I have no problem with u saying his career isn't almost over becuz thats why I put the option up there.

"Inside Man" was a good movie. "St Anna" was average, I haven't seen "Red Hook Summer" but it's on netflix so I'm going to check it out. What I mean by "Kinda" Blackballed is he can still get work but after going after Clint Eastwood and speaking out on other racial issues in Hollywood he rarely gets the projects he wants bankrolled. Spike is a controversial figure cause he speaks his mind. But No he's career is not over.

 
Damn someone ethered the fuck outta Spike on Twitter lmao

Spike Lee is angry at Quentin Tarantino for "disrespecting his ancestors" with Django Unchained. I'm sure they were real proud of Girl 6.

Spike Lee made "Malcolm X" something White Hollywood tried to stop from being made with the funding. "Malcolm X" did more for Black Cinema and showing hour History. Ironically QT was in "Girl 6", lol.
