The premiere of Spike Lee's latest film, Red Hook Summer was met with mixed (and in some cases scathing) reviews from audiences at the Sundance Film Festival, prompting Lee to burst into a tirade, according to reports.
...after being prompted with a question from comedian Chris Rock. Rock, who was in the audience asked, "What would you have done differently if you'd actually gotten a bunch of studio money. Would you have blown up lots of sh*t?"
"We never went to the studios with this film," said Lee. "I bought a camera and said we're gonna do this motherf**king film ourselves...I didn't need a motherf**king studio telling me something about Red Hook! They know nothing about black people! Nothing!"
What a no-talent, foul-mouthed, unlikeable little man. Chris Rock should have kicked his ass and given him a cookie.
The premiere of Spike Lee's latest film, Red Hook Summer was met with mixed (and in some cases scathing) reviews from audiences at the Sundance Film Festival, prompting Lee to burst into a tirade, according to reports.
The film is billed as a coming-of-age story of teenage boy who spends the summer in Brooklyn's Red Hook projects with his preacher grandfather. Spike Lee called it the latest in his "chronicles" of his childhood neighborhood. Red Hook Summer features a return of the iconic character "Mookie", originally played by Lee in 1989's Do the Right Thing, but the film is "not a motherf**king sequel to Do the Right Thing," as Lee said in an after-premiere discussion.
The film features a jarring plot twist that seemed to polarize the audience of critics, causing some to walk out of the theater and others to tweet their sentiments. Entertainment Weekly's Anthony Breznican tweeted, "Okay, so Red Hook Summer ISN'T a coming-of-age movie. It's a what-the-hell?!? movie." The arts and entertainment writer for the Los Angeles Times, Steven Zeitchik wrote, "Spike Lee's Red Hook Summer is his most interesting/ambitious film in yrs, tho the last section will be polarizing."
Other comments were far more critical. "I have so many negative things to say about Spike Lee's RED HOOK SUMMER that I don't know where to begin," said Erik Childress of efilmcritic.com. ComingSoon.net's @WkndWarriorCS called Lee's film, "one of the worst movies to ever premiere" at the festival.
It was at the post-screening discussion that Lee reportedly went on a rant about Hollywood and black films after being prompted with a question from comedian Chris Rock. Rock, who was in the audience asked, "What would you have done differently if you'd actually gotten a bunch of studio money. Would you have blown up lots of sh*t?"
"We never went to the studios with this film," said Lee. "I bought a camera and said we're gonna do this motherf**king film ourselves...I didn't need a motherf**king studio telling me something about Red Hook! They know nothing about black people! Nothing!"
Lee went on to detail his struggle with studios to produce a sequel to his highest-grossing movie, Inside Man and acknowledged the presence of several cast members from the recently-released, predominately-black Red Tails.
Then he apologized for his outbursts saying, "Sorry for that motherf**king tirade." 15 Replies to Spike Lee premieres 'Red Hook Summer', unleashes tirade at Sundance | re: Spike Lee premieres 'Red Hook Summer', unleashes tirade at Sundance (karma: 1)

Spike Lee's movies are terrible. Technically, as political statement, and though art is in the eye of the beholder -- they are boring as watching paint dry and they just plain suck.
If Lee were white he'd be lucky to be making ScyFy original movies about Sasquatch. Starring Lance Henrickson and John Rhys-Davies.
I like those movies. They're terrible. Reminds me of the lousy B monster movies I watched as a kid. You could hardly see the zipper on the back of those monsters. Or the string holding up the flying saucers. Good times. Good movies.

He is another no talent nigger - like Tracey Chapman et al. - whom the 'artistic' community brought on board when they needed some tokens.
Alas, the irony is completely lost on these azzholes who now labor under the delusion that they actually have some talent.
Spic Lee is the worst of the lot making racist agitprop under guise of 'art'. A sixth grader could come up with more compelling scripts than this POS. | re: Spike Lee premieres 'Red Hook Summer', unleashes tirade at Sundance (karma: 5)

Only decent movie about Red Hook was Last Exit to Brooklyn featuring Jennifer Jason Leigh, her giant tits and a fantastic gang rape scene at the end.
All tits and no cunt, you can actually watch that great drama right here,

There is no greater crutch for a lack of talent than blaming racism. I remember a black student at my college who defended his designs as being too "urban" for us simple white folk to understand. Good design is good design regardless of who you are. | re: Spike Lee premieres 'Red Hook Summer', unleashes tirade at Sundance en>fr fr>en By LTKilling Comments: 7478, member since Sun Aug 14, 2005On Tue Jan 24, 2012 01:13 PM

I've never seen a Spike Lee film. I can't stand this no-talent, racist pig, and I wouldn't spend 50 cents to see any of his "art." The fuck pisses me off anytime he shows up on TV. | re: Spike Lee premieres 'Red Hook Summer', unleashes tirade at Sundance (karma: 2)

Kind of sounds like a certain affirmative action president that we have now. It is everybody else that has caused a mediocre intelligence black man to fail miserably, not 0bama you racist. | re: Spike Lee premieres 'Red Hook Summer', unleashes tirade at Sundance en>fr fr>en By djdv Comments: 3533, member since Mon Jul 10, 2006On Tue Jan 24, 2012 06:50 PM
 Lee is a racist talentless nigger with an entitled attitude, very much like all lib tards and surrendering french.
