From what i understand funding doesnt have to come from hollywood. Anyone wealthy (regardless of race or color) can agree to give you whatever, right?
 
Spike is the only one that's been showing black community movies that are to be taken seriously. That is his element. He's extended it alot lately to turn more with hollywood themes, but he's filled a niche nobody else does.
 
When spike does a movie people look. It's just we ain't gonna run to everything he does. Some of his movies put you in a mood you might be in or might not be in, and one thing you definitely gonna have to think. Inside Man or Malcolm X. Two movies he didn't write but Do the Right Thing, He Got Game, Mo Better Blues, Bamboozled are good movies he did write.
 
Damn, for a man who has to almost produce everything out his own wallet without making people laugh and touching on subject matter that many don't want to see on the big screen is pretty damn good. I can't say he's washed up yet. He's always been in and out, but the fact that he's in the game this long and in his 50's is enough. Just think about a music star starting at 20 and still selling movies at 50.
 
Would you say he's washed up? The longevity of his career kind of makes it so a man of that stature can't be washed up.
 
That's like saying Prince is washed up because he don't sell platinum cd's, yet all his concerts around the world sell out stadiums in a matter of 2 hours of radios announcing they're on sale.Spike's does what he wants at his age now. His name is historical and carry's too much media pull to see him as washed up
 
Spike Lee is always critical of other writers and directors in Hollywood (Tyler Perry, Quentin Tarentino)... Has he ever given any Hollywood director (or any person involved in film) props?

So let me understand you correctly. Spike Lee's career is winding down in your eyes because he doesn't have big budget films or the support like Quentin Taratino has?

No its winding down cuz he fell off and he seems to be more famous for being an NBA fan now. Don't hit me with that "coon" shit when I was raised on this man's masterpieces. At one point, he was like, The Greatest Director Alive. Straight up. Now...? Fell from top ten to not mentioned at all. And his bodyguard had a better Oochie Wally verse lol - Ernest Dickerson's Never Die Alone was a classic that came out the same year as that She Hate Me trash.

This post by post nigga...I guess you need to do some shit like that fucking with the Doc. Funny though, it doesn't work...

Does it take a Ph.D to figure out that I disagreed with DG? It might be an achievement in your case. Does it take a masters to understand that because DG has an opinion, like Spike, he isn't a house negro? You one dimensional niggas I run into too much on the IC. I find myself posting a post to explain my previous post.

It's quite simple, my argument. Niggas shouldn't be shitting on Spike and glorifying QT at the same time. But you faggots are used to talking shit on your peoples and then giving him props when he swerves around the corner, smiling in his face.
