This is how history will perceive Spike Lee:

Spike Lee – – (1) a late 20th/early 21st- century movie director/producer who was the epicenter of hate-filled leftist rhetoric that contaminated the socio-political scene of his time.

(2) Spike Lee -(as in “you’re all Spike”) a term/phrase used to infer that someone or something is ridiculously over-rated.

i dont think the thing about blowing up the levees was that strong….a few people he interviewed said they heard explosions and he noted a situation in the past were the levees were blown up

I saw ‘When The Levees Broke’. In it, Spike Lee insinuates (via interviews), quite strongly that the government blew the levees up – hoping to drown the nearby inhabitants. Yeah, and 9/11 was in inside job. OOOFFFAAA!!

“Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine…”

Not too inside, I hope.

I go to Ohio State University, home of the Wexner, and it is pretty awesome to have someone like this be honored by the university. In case you didn’t know, a couple of years ago Scorcese was given the same award.

This is awesome. If anyone deserves a hammer for a trophy it is Spike Lee, for he would wield it like a true warrior. It reminds of when Beta Ray Bill was given Stormbreaker in the Thor comics. Epic stuff.

There is another cool award given out every year in France, by some railway society for best film about trains. I can’t seem to find their website at the moment though…
