Do I even really have to get into this? What is it with this guy? I know Hollywood only allows one black filmmaker to be successful at any given moment, and clearly Spike Lee gave up trying like, I don't know, right around Miracle at St. Anna, but still. I want answers.
What is his thought process? I would actually like to know. Because quite frankly, dressing up as an overweight, sassy elderly black woman who is prone to sight gags has been done ('sup Martin Lawrence) and he knows this. But somehow, some way, he has managed to build a franchise on this hideous character. Plays. Films. Books. TV shows. Kudos to him for owning the first black studio in American history and for owning all the rights to his projects but too bad all the projects green lighted at said studio make me want to die a little bit and have landed him smack dab in the middle of the list.
