Who's excited to see Spike Lee's new documentary on Katrina?
I am for one - I get razzed for saying this but I think Lee is one of America's greatest living filmmakers.

Not all of his movies are great, but some of his underappreciated gems (Bamboozled for example) are pure genius.

1. I love Lee
I'm a little behind on his films, but I agree that he's an amazingly talented director. I keep hoping he will get that recognition some day.

2. If he were white...
They'd be saying he was the second coming of John Huston.

5. well, you would think his heritage and his take on the Af-Am
experience would be enough. I like how he doesn't kowtow to anyone.

3. I'm definitely ready to see it. It'll give us a better look at
what has actually happened and not government propaganda.
