Inglorius Basterds was absolute crap. I haven't seen Django yet, but everything I'm reading indicates that I won't like it.

completely distorting the events surrounding the WW2 battle at Sant'Anna to make it seem as though the Italians collaborated with the Nazis, which he knows is complete bullshit yet still refuses to acknowledge let alone apologize for - fuck Spike Lee.

I think Spike Lee believes what he says - that he's genuinely upset over what he feels is irreverent treatment of a brutal period in African-American history. I think he feels like a Jew would if somebody made a slapstick comedy set in Auschwitz, with starving, emaciated Jews slipping on banana peels and falling into gas chambers. This is Spike Lee we're talking about here. This is the guy who directed "Malcolm X" and "Bamboozled"(a movie about black stereotypes in Hollywood), and has a production company called "40 acres and a mule." You really think he's that shamelessly fucking phoney that he'd stoop to playing media charades for bigger box office numbers? I know the guy's full of shit, but come on. Nah. Besides, I've never heard Tarantino bash "Red Hook Summer", or whatever other box office flop Lee's put out over the last decade. He hasn't made a good movie since "25th Hour."


Or maybe I?m wrong. Or maybe it?s some hybrid where Spike kind of gives a shit, but knows Denzel *really* gives a shit back from his beef with Tarantino on "Crimson Tide", and Spike needs to preserve that relationship so that he can keep the possibility of "Inside Man 2" alive... who knows. Maybe Spike?s the guy who convinced Michael Jordan to grow a Hitler stache. If so, he?s brilliant.

The original Django from the 1960s? Hard to comment on without spoiling it.

That's the method of the globalists to create social dysfunction.

It's a great movie but if you look at it perspective of the motive of our owners, it's propaganda.

ok i read more about the Sant'Anna massacre - a novel Lee based the movie on had a traitor in the Italian resistance collaborating with the Nazis in the massacre. Whether that is true or not doesn't seem to be known but it sure is entirely possible.

Entirely possible? The novel is a work of fiction that Spike Lee chose to portray as historical fact. I guess it's also entirely possible that Hitler visited Auschwitz and personally handed out double-dip ice cream cones and Payday bars to all the Jews before they got their Zyklone B delousing showers, I mean, Hitler WAS known to have a sweet tooth. It's entirely possible. But if I put that scene in a movie and blasted "BASED ON A TRUE STORY" across the screen before it began, you would rightfully call me out on it. The survivors of that massacre DID call him out on it, and he still refused to acknowledge that he took some creative license with the story, saying: "there's a lot about your[Italians] history you have yet to come to grips with." adding insult to injury. The guy's a jitbag.


At the time that happened, Italy had already surrendered and switched sides.

I'm not personally insulted. None of that shit bothers me; it?s the hypocrisy, the self-righteous indignation, that bothers me. I could give a fuck if Spike Lee casts a thousand gold cornicello and Fila velour tracksuit wearing, cement laying, greaseball caricatures in his movies; plenty of them exist in real life, some of them are my friends and relatives. And I doubt it would bother any them or any other Italian-Americans because we haven?t made a cultural tradition out of fucking complaining about everything. That's my own personal tradition, complaining about everything.

Anyway, Spike Lee:

"Inside Job" or "Inside Man"? "Inside Job" was about the financial collapse, Spike Lee didn't direct that. "Inside Man" is some detective movie with Denzel Washington he directed.
