Spike Lee Gets Pushback For Django Criticism
Jan 5th
This is exactly what needed to happen. Wish it had happened quicker after Spike spoke up. And it should have been harsher. Spike is little more than a race hustler trying to maintain his fame by injecting himself into other people’s work. Not every atory about WW2 is going to focus on the horror’s of the death camps, and not every story set in the slavery days of the south is going to focus on the horror’s of slavery. If thats an important story to tell – perhaps Spike should tell it. He is (or at least was) a gifted filmmaker.

Spike Lee Boycotting Django Unchained
Dec 25th
One celeb you don’t have to worry about running into at a Django Unchained screening this year – Spike Lee is boycotting the film.
You see, Spike has decided that Quentin is too white to make movies that use the N-word (he long ago came to this conclusion). And with Django, Spike has decided that making a movie with slavery as the backdrop that doesn’t have its primary focus to convey the full horror of slavery is somehow unacceptable.
Lots of self-beclowning statements from Spike at the link.
