New York has many faults and arrogance is certainly one of them (I can be a total snob @ times), but one thing it is...is real and honest. <BR/><BR/>I will always love that about my hometown. I live in SF now and it is a totally different world for me, but I appreciate the experience.<BR/><BR/>This is one fo Spike's best films and I really have alot of love for it.<BR/><BR/>DanielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-12588911730606578252007-12-24T09:03:00.000-08:002007-12-24T09:03:00.000-08:00Around Harlem: Hi :-) This is a must see for any a...Around Harlem: Hi :-) This is a must see for any arrogant New Yorker (I kid, I kid). It is a perfect picture tho, imho, of the good and bad that is NY.<BR/><BR/>@the black actor and judith: it's good to know that two people that I know really love and care about film agree with me on Spike's early days. When I first started this blog, I did a write up of Spike, and basically said his first 10 years of film were pretty much a wash for me.<BR/><BR/>jj: you were smart to keep that opinion close to chest--you might've started a riot---and you might have been there at the time when they almost started those riots over Bill Cosby and that racist Duke dude....my sister was!<BR/>I have also learned to keep my thoughts about "Do The Right Thing" to myself...I'll never win that one, lolInvisible Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299734445263175345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-37575036001132200592007-12-24T05:45:00.000-08:002007-12-24T05:45:00.000-08:00i really dug the 25th hour and felt people overloo...i really dug the 25th hour and felt people overlooked it. btw that inside man and his katrina documentaries, i am really loving this version of spike. i was on the ropes with his early stuff. and being in film school in the 80's and to not love spike at howard university was BEGGING for trouble. but i'm a rebel i guess. and ur right she hate me was his worst. blech.justjudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676808142729271252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-91353452550082316052007-12-23T20:42:00.000-08:002007-12-23T20:42:00.000-08:00Yup, IW; The 25th hour is one of the few Spike Lee...Yup, IW; The 25th hour is one of the few Spike Lee films that I liked. Like you, I thought it was well done. I too, am a fan of Phillip Seymour Hoffman, too. (He was GREAT in Capote!) I also like Ed Norton. I really enjoyed the pic and want to watch it again, soon.<BR/><BR/>Actually, New Yorkers are the best people on the planet.<BR/><BR/>ha ha; just kidding. :)<BR/><BR/>Love the "fuck you" dialog.
