En ny fejde er brudt ud i Hollywood – denne gang med de to instruktører Clint Eastwood og Spike Lee som de modstridende parter.
Fejden begyndte, da Lee bemærkede manglen på sorte skuespillere i Eastwoods film om slaget ved Iwo Jima, “Flags of Our Fathers”.
Clint Eastwood reagerede på Spike Lees udtalelser i et interview med avisen The Guardian, hvor han sagde, at Lee skulle “lukke røven” og få styr på sine fakta: “Historien er ‘Flags of Our Fathers’, det berømte billede, hvor flaget bliver hejst, og de [sorte soldater] var ikke med til det,” sagde Eastwood.
Spike Lee var dog langt fra tilfreds med Clintens udtalelser: “For det første er manden ikke min far, og vi er heller ikke på en plantage… han lyder som en sur gammel mand,” sagde Lee og fortsatte diskussionen:
”Hvis han ønsker det, kan jeg finde afro-amerikanske soldater, som kæmpede ved Iwo Jima… Det er ikke noget, jeg finder på. Jeg kender historien. Og jeg kender til historien om Hollywood og dets forsømmelse af den million afro-amerikanske mænd og kvinder, der bidrog til 2. Verdenskrig.”

Ok, my experience aside, I have to be honest, after watching his Do The Right Thing again not long ago, it was such a racist movie. The movie was full of stereotypical BS.
But forget that movie, Clint is a Hollywood Legend, he's made serious movies and for him to be pissed on by this no good little man who's only agenda is to get back at the whites, is just a joke.
Spike Lee will for a lack of a better expression be "BLACK listed". He's an idiot to go up against something so ridicules.
He's crying like a little bitch when it comes to how blacks are portrayed in films. Yet I don't hear Sam Jackson whine about how many movies he's in. Or Lawrence Fishburn. The list is long, but you get the point.
Shouldn't we also mention now that we're on the racial front of things, just how Native Americans have been treated and portrayed on TV and film? Hmmm, right who gives a shit about them says Spike at a recorded conversation. Sad that, that never made the MAJOR headlines, but this does. Sick of bitches like him.
Once on TV (“Real Time With Bill Maher,” “Politically Incorrect”), he started to come with insane conspiracy theories on how the US did this and that to the black people. Jeeeesh, come on Spike, we all know this. It's not a conspiracy, but he's trying to paint a different picture by adding BS to the facts. Just to start a new hate race.
Sad little fuck.
Though, speaking of Bill, check out his new movie http://www.apple.com/trailers/lions_gate/religulou...
PS. Sorry I had to vent, having been to an wrap-up party on a film, the only crap they talked about was SPIKE! When we all had to just enjoy the completion of our film, talk about how fun it was and what we went through, instead people talk about Spike! And for that I am angry.

I er allesammen lige til at skide i kæften... en flok mainstreame spadsere! Det er hvad i er...

Spadsere betyder at gå.
Hvis Lee vil lave film kun om sorte, så må Clinten vel også have lov til at lave kun om hvide.
