Read the rest here:

( via The Hollywood Reporter ) This past Thursday, Director Spike Lee sat down with journalist Charlie Rose for a Q&A session at PromaxBDA (an annual marketing, branding and design conference) in NYC. Spike was at the the conference to receive the organization’s lifetime achievement award for his work in film and television, in particular his series of Nike commericals featuring Michael Jordan. Lee shared his discontent with the Oscars and the Academy’s voting practices, Barack Obamas’s re-election prospects, and why he hasn’t been able to secure funding for a sequel to Inside Man , even with A-listers Denzel Washington and Jodie Foster attached to the project. Inside Man is Spike Lee’s most commercially successful movie to date, grossing $184 million worldwide.

Tyler Perry To Spike Lee: “Instead Of Taking Shots, Give Me A Hand Brother” [VIDEO]

Posted on May 5, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Original post:

Tyler Perry visited The Monique Show and voiced how he felt about Spike Lee’s “attack” against him . Tyler Perry makes some good points about the state of the black race in general and in film, but he was wrong when he said he never saw Italians protest HBO’s award-winning mobster drama “The Sopranos.” There were lots of protests from different Italian groups who thought “The Sopranos” upheld Italian stereotypes. Tyler said of Spike Lee: “Instead of taking shots, tearing each other down how about you give me a hand brother and tell me what I need to know and maybe I can share some things with you too.” Mo’Nique invited Spike Lee on her show to end the rivalry between the two filmmakers. Tyler Perry wholeheartedly agreed, then went on to talk about his “Oprah moment.” Cornel West Says Tyler Perry & Lil Wayne, “Need To Grow” [VIDEO] Tyler Perry Versus Spike Lee?!

Tyler Perry: “Spike Lee Can Go Straight To Hell!”

Posted on April 20, 2011 by admin2| Leave a comment

The war of words between Spike Lee and Tyler Perry continues as Perry recently said at a press conference that “Spike can go straight to hell!” Lee has been a very vocal critic of Perry and his films. “I’m so sick of hearing about damn Spike Lee,” Perry said during a press conference . “Spike can go straight to hell! You can print that. I am sick of him talking about me, I am sick of him saying, ‘this is a coon, this is a buffoon.’ I am sick of him talking about black people going to see movies. This is what he said: ‘you vote by what you see,’ as if black people don’t know what they want to see.” “Each artist should be allowed to pursue their artistic endeavors, but I still think there is a lot of stuff out today that is coonery and buffoonery,” Lee said in 2009. “I know it’s making a lot of money and breaking records, but we can do better. … I am a huge basketball fan, and when I watch the games on TNT, I see these two ads for these two shows (Tyler Perry’s ‘Meet the Browns’ and ‘House of Payne’), and I am scratching my head. We got a black president, and we going back to Mantan Moreland and Sleep ‘n’ Eat?” Tyler Perry’s new film, Madea’s Big Happy Family , is in theaters this Friday. Whose side are you on?
