And the war of words between Spike Lee and Clint Eastwood goes for one more round.
After the 78-year-old Hollywood legend lobed a Dirty Harry-esque one-liner at the pint-sized director - telling him to "shut his face" over criticisms that no African-Americans appeared in Eastwood's drama "Flags of Our Fathers" - Lee has offered up a response.
"First of all, the man is not my father and we're not on a plantation," Lee told ABCNEWS.com.

Spike Lee and people like him WISH it were like the way he talks. Spike Lee grew up in an upper-middle-class neighborhood and wouldn’t know what to do on a plantation. Our country is falling apart from within. What a shame. Eoncomically, socially...so many people died for this country and we’ve let it go to hell. I don’t even know if it’s redeemable.
He spell-checked it... There were no errors.
That road must be really high - the lack of oxygen explains the helps explain the stupidity.
wtf is an “obama-high-road?”
He’s trying to be impressive and fails abysmally.
Mr. Eastwood-Saw many of his movies. I enjoyed them then,and I still watch them today.
So...Spike,Shut your pie hole.
What a joke, Spike wants to end it because he was pummeled with fact and reason!
Lee needs psychiatric help.
The Obama remark is nothing compared to this racist remark Lee uttered. If I were Clint I would have let loose on that remark. I guess Lee just can't take "whitey" making a film that has nothing to do with race, but perspectively about the overall battle.
Lee is such a child!
A man’s just got to know his limitations...
Here’s one for ol’ Spike: http://www.movieactors.com/photos-2003/eastwood-dirtyharry.jpeg
I used to have a M-29 with the 8-3/8” barrel. Shot like a laser beam and hit like a pile driver. Never had a problem with recoil, though. Beautiful revolver all in all.
[wistfully] Maybe I’ll get me one, again, someday.
A state of mind in which the person believes themselves to be of a superior nature. Not supported by any facts in approximately 99.2% of all cases.
Unique to O-Bots as regular socialists have no thought process whatsoever.
Spike Lee is a racist dick. I don’t know why anyone would care what this brain dead dope head says or thinks.
Well gee. Maybe there weren’t any black Marines on Iwa Jima and adding some for eye candy wouldn’t have been historically accurate!
spike could direct his own black only version if he is so motivated.............
Shelton, the first Clint is infinitely grateful for and the second you should be infinitely grateful for.
“First of all, the man is not my father and we’re not on a plantation,”
Iwo Jima assaulted by the all black 8th Marine Division (’Band of Bruthuhs’). Trying to dig out an all-black Japanese defending force. Maybe I could peddle this plot line to him...
I agree. From the remarks that Spike Lee has made over the years he is an out and out racist. I have no use for the man.
Which is a complete load of horsecrap. There are black people on the ship just before they perform the invasion. Just saw it the other evening.
Maybe Spike Not-on-the-plantation Lee should WATCH the movie before he opens his pie=hole and confirms that he is really just a jumped up idiot liberal.
Who is Spike Lee?
