Spike Lee Not Interested In DJANGO UNCHAINED, Calls It “Disrespectful to My Ancestors”

Bullshit! I myself am black and I can not wait to see this movie. I love Spike Lee and all his movies but I mean come on. I mean look at Mel Brooks "Blazing Saddles" , that movie is amazing.

There are plenty of films new and old that are related to this subject,but if he has a problem then it's his own opinion

He'll still see the film i bet, one way or another. He's probably mad he didnt come up with the movie idea first :]

Sorry, I didn't read that tweet he posted till just now. Though I never majored in it, I have taken U.S. History classes since I was in goddamn Kindergarten and because my assholes of teachers were so arrogant, we never could learn about politics or government ideals, but we always managed to spend 7 months out of the year talking about how the white man is the bad guy and how we should all kill ourselves because of what our pedigree did to other races. And if there is 1 thing I've learned from all those repetitive, tedious, asinine classes, it's that most African Americans, willingly sold their own to the U.S. for money and other goods. Sure, American enslaved many, but most of them were put up for it because of their own ancestors.

God, I [frick]ing hate the U.S. cause no matter what happens, 9/11, the Timothy Mcveigh Bombing in Oklahoma, the countless massacre's, mutiple wars, internal struggles, government trying to kill us, etc., it ALWAYS circles back to Slavery? Why? No one gives a SHIT anymore! It's ludicrous and nonsensical.

Spike lee is a moron, why would anyone give a flying f about his opinion. I'm getting center front row seats thanks mr. Lee

He's right though...using the "N word" in dialogue is one thing but tarentino put it in the script like 500 times apart from the dialogue. It's like he thought "okay, here's my chance to type it and say it till everyone's blue in the face." Read the script, he put it in descrptions of plantations, people, and anywhere he wanted...it was excessive and unnecessary.

oh Spike...go sue some other tv channel for stealing your name.

Im tired of hearing wishy washy dumbasses saying" oh you can't judge that movie because of trailer..."

EXCUSE me nimrod, a trailer is used to sell you and advertise the movie. Damn right i can judge a movie based on a trailer.

screw Cokie Tarantino and Jaime Foxx, they won't get my cash.

it takes the reader away from the script to the point where I thought..."jeeze, Quentin's used this word like two dozen times in the first ten pages and none of the characters have spoken yet."

well as an african american male myself i felt kind of offended about his use of the n word in his movie pulp fiction (which i happen to really love( the movie that is not the use of the n word)) but lets not put him under the magnifying glass because he wont watch a movie thast he feels very personal about. I on the other hand if for no better reason than entertainment, will see the movie, and if im offended then i will get over it because while i do not like to be offended its going to happen whether its intentional or not and i think that, thats the main point,that hes not trying to offend anyone, as far as i know, and plus its a movie thats meant to be entertainign not historically accurate, but lets not bash spike lee because of his opinion and lets keep the ignorance out of the comments, we have a black president get over it? come on now.

@dexter
because people in the media ( news, entertainment etc..) use race as a weapon to bludgeon people they don't agree with.

Don't like someone, call 'em a racist if they say something they don't like. Its happening more and more and its heinous.

whether you're someone like a white guy like Chris mathews at MSNBC who says using " chicago" is implied racism, or spike lee...or jaime foxx, these people use it to slander people whose opinions they don't like.

how dare any of you disagree with this living legend. Mr Lee gave you Spiderman, X-Men, not to mention iron man. I hope he cancels all your marvel comics subscritions and.....what's that? spike Lee? oh I forgot we publish retarded articles that have nothing to do with comics and belong in whatever the newest celebrity gossip rag is. carry on.

sorry continue discussing racism as if it's a blacks only problem and as if all cultures haven't both been and had slaves and as if anyone gives a flying [frick] who did what to whose ancestors. grow a [frick]ing pair spike Lee...I'm not gay but I've been called it enough to know what it feels like to be discriminated against man up wipe off those tears and enjoy some whites only pie....you earned it after suffering all those years picking cotton from your aspirin bottles.....[frick]ing ridiculous.

[racial slur]; There. God you people act like you guys have never heared of the word, or have said it.

Dammit did comicbookmovie.com really censore me.

SPOILERS:

This is coming from the guy who is remaking Old Boy. He took the setting from the original film and relocated it to New Orleans, Louisiana. He probably felt he had to set the movie in the south because that is the only place where people will believe the possible disturbing plot points. I am from Louisiana and I find that "Disrespectful".

no nostalgic that was Santa warning you to watch your language....now that...that was sarcasm

that movie was also the most brilliant film ever made at the time

hey, the man's entitled to his opinion..including his decision to NOT watch this.

These are the things that keep racism alive... clinging to grudges from over 100 years ago.

Gambitfreak, you should stop commenting. You make yourself look like an ass.

What Superman7@ said. Except for the "Get over it" part.
