Good movie.

Solid representation of whats going on behind the scene of the Black American entertainment industry today.

Of course ive seen it, it is one of Spike Lee's greatest movies

The message behind the movie is what makes it so good (for people who have never seen it)

Ex. 90% of the shows on BET, Flavor of Love, and all those other foolish programs

I went 2 C it when I was 13... I was always (and still am) a Spike fan and I honestly thought he was makin a movie bout clowns... I saw it and it helped mepeep a lot of stuff that was so oblivious 2 me... it never gets mentioned much but that is right there with Do The Right Thing and Malcolm X... a trulypowerful and moving film

DEF APPRECIATED!

+1

I thought the movie was jumping the shark a little bit at that point. Didn't seem to be something that would realistically happen, but thismovie was a satire after all.



Anyway, If you want to see a film like this that seems more realistic, then you should see dancing in september.

When Mos,Canibus and the crew did him in,I felt that they weren't fully justified.If I recall correctly,they weren't that righteous themselves.Iremember having a discussion about this back in high school and I brought up the same point. They were participating in some of the same things that werepoisoning their own people and yet they felt they had the right to body someone who was doing the same thing on a much larger scale. I guess it was arepresentation of how some people in real life are down for the cause,but are still a part of the problem at the same time. On a lighter note,that chick at theend of the "Timmy Hiln*gger" commercial was

 

[tfromthe617]

[kix4kix]

Concept was a lot better than the movie.

Great movie. It accurately portrayed what was going on in TV programming during that period in the 90's
