Heston, Eastwood, Douglas... I’m afraid their noble flags
have faded. They wait for the next generation of patriots
to carry on their torch bearing duties.

Wow, Clint Eastwood and John Huston sure made a great team on the big screen.

Spike Lee’s biases are on display in his movies, for all to see. Why does he feel it necessary to rag on Flags of Our Fathers?

Eastwood should appease them with a director’s cut where they manning a hot dog cart during the fight.

Eastwood has more experience than Obama and will
certainly outlive McCain. If only we ran the world.

I thought that “Do The Right Thing” was well-made from a technical standpoint (cinematography, acting, music). Its deliberate moral ambiguity was frightening, however.

LEE is a product of ignorance masquerading as public education.

Spike Lee had admitted he disapproves of inter-racial couples and gives them dirty looks whenever he sees them.
What would we say about a white person with the same views????

Here’s an article by Larry Elder which quotes Spike Lee describing the look he gives interracial couples as “daggers” and how he makes them uncomfortable.
He also suggests disbanding the NRA and that Charleston Heston should be shot with a 44. caliber bulldog.
I’m sure he’ll be a welcome guest at the Obama “White” House.
