Why is it up to him and just him? - Reagen Jan 18, 08:41 35
- I never said it was, I said he is part of the problem. - groiny Jan 18, 08:43 34
  - Replace "black" with "gay." What you're saying makes no sense. -- nm - MDH Jan 18, 09:11 6
    - OFFS. -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 09:12 5
      - Don't OFFS this, you can't pick and choose your arguement. You're completely wrong. -- nm - MDH Jan 18, 09:14 4
        
        you can have your opinion. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 09:14 3
        
        Opinions without facts to support them aren't worth much. -- nm - TWuG Jan 18, 09:17 2
        
        Dustin Lance Black won an damn Oscar, and can't get hired, unless it's to write niche gay stuff. -- nm - MDH Jan 18, 09:19
        
        well, I can't tell which directors are gay because they do not have rainbow skin. -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 09:18
  - I think it's time to repackage your character. The White Man Rage gimmick is this board's Red Rooster. -- nm - David Jan 18, 08:44 17

      - I -almost- said him instead. -- nm - Davi Jan 18, 09:03
    - If you can't see what it is I am saying, I can't possibly discuss this with you. -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 08:47 14
      - I see exactly how it is. As long as there is 1% of it that can be laid at his feet (and if it's anything it's that Spike is in the - Reagen Jan 18, 08:52 6
        
        who is gonna help break through then? - groiny Jan 18, 08:55 5
        
        He's making his movies. He's not the black filmmaking Mother Teresa. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 08:56 4
        
        hilarious. - groiny Jan 18, 08:57 1
        
        Yup, 1% his problem. Nothing to be done. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 09:00
        
        "I'm not the black filmmaking Mother Teresa!" would be a good line in a movie. -- nm - Max Jan 18, 08:57 1
        
        Especially if spoken by Jesse Eisenberg -- nm - prayformojo Jan 18, 09:02
      - I think all of us see what you are saying. You just don't want to hear how you are wrong. -- nm - TWuG Jan 18, 08:49 5
        
        so, how does it change then? -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 08:51 4
        
        By white folk recognizing there's an issue and most of it could be corrected if they realized that. - TWuG Jan 18, 09:15 3
        
        Tim Story is the only guy I can think of although there are possibly others, but he's been shoved back into the pigeon hole - Reagen Jan 18, 09:22 2
        
        Antoine Fuqua -- nm - MDH Jan 18, 09:27
        
        F. Gary Gray -- nm - Roger More Jan 18, 09:24
      - Well, that's that, then. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 18, 08:48
  - I think you're ascribing entirely too much power to him. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 08:44 8
    - he has the name, and you can't tell me he can't help with the issue as he describes. - groiny Jan 18, 08:47 7
      - your argument illustrates the problem perfectly -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 18, 08:51 4
        
        there is a reason why Michael Bay keeps getting hired for movies. - groiny Jan 18, 08:54 3
        
        But think about newbie directors being given a shot at directing big name franchise movies - Roger More Jan 18, 09:04 2
        
        sure, there are exceptions. - groiny Jan 18, 09:12 1
        
        Well, those are four exceptions, and just the ones at the top of my head. So it's not really exceptions, it's a pattern. - Roger More Jan 18, 09:22
      - He did that, 25 years ago. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 08:48 1
        
        so he did his part back then and he is off the hook now? -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 08:49
spike could do paycheck movies if he wanted. that's never been what he wanted to do -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 18, 08:40 6
- as I said, he is part of the problem. - groiny Jan 18, 08:41 5
  - I just think he should do more movies with his brother Stan. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 08:51 4
    - He could totally have done a Black Panther movie. - groiny Jan 18, 08:56 3
      - when he was at his peak heat, around Malcolm X, Hollywood never would have greenlit a Black Panther movie, which is part of his point -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 18, 08:58 2
        
        so Hollywood has gotten better since then? -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 08:59 1
        
        better than 92, yes, and comic book movies have eaten the industry and it's an easy move now -- nm* - slipping jimmy Jan 18, 09:00
Inside Man 2 (I wish) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 08:40
