    Um Spike Lee is NOT a GREAT filmmaker. He’s on the same level as Tyler Perry as far as execution. I swear if I see that floating character thing again (which he adds in every movie even if it’s inappropriate um Malcolm X anyone) I’ll scratch somebody’s eyes out. The only thing Spike can say is he ATTEMPTS to deal with certain issues in the black community and he doesn’t even do that well. That is it. I won’t go into his issue with Black Women that go ALL the way back to She’s Gotta Have It. He’s a piss poor writer, which is a shame because if he’s educated AND went to film school and still can’t put a good script together, than personally I think TP has bested him there. Now when he’s directed films that he neither wrote or had any hand in the production of the movie then he’s good, i.e. Inside Man. Anything else where he’s done the entire film solo, man come on don’t even try it.

    I’m not a Madea fan by any means and haven’t seen TP’s shows but I do think his heart is in the right place. He employs black actors, keeps them steady working (even through writers strikes), get’s them their SAG cards and built studios in ATL so that he can do films his way at low cost and so can others. He also isn’t afraid to support other black film makers (Precious anyone?). The ONLY person I’ve seen Spike Lee ever promote is SPIKE LEE.

    Sorry Ms. ATLien for my rant, I just can’t believe someone actually said Spike was a GREAT filmmaker. I love me some Dr. West but sometimes just cause we black and friends don’t mean we need to always stand up.

    *jumping down off my soap box and kicking it back up under the table.* :O)

    Spike lee needs to just stop it. And I def agree wit the other commenter he’s NOT A GREAT filmmaker by any means and I personaly think TP is a great filmmaker. Spike lees movies are garbage to me. I’ve never been able to get into them and quite frankly spike lee seems to be purly hating to me. Bottum line TP is a great man and does not deserve to bashed like that

    Spike doesn’t get it! Tyler is family friendly, and Spike Lee is vulgar. Spike does NOT speak to the Christian community. Sorry Spike. You missed out on a whole demographic, Black CHRISTIAN women. Don’t hate…
