My lord, I'm watching For Colored Girls and I am pissed. I'm sad for the talented actors who are giving their all, I'm shocked at how amateur how the film is and embarrassed for Perry whose arrogance blindly let him direct this crap. Two scenes: At the Opera and At the Window are all the proof I need for this man to never get behind a camera. Black film lovers and the public deserve better than this. [Edited 4/22/11 20:17pm]

That movie is a daylight robbery in full effect disbelief

Not only did he waste the use of a great black ensemble, but he also made the film devoid of any sass, humor and even joy, something that balanced the book/original play and ended up with a yet another one dimensional "woe is the black woman" storyline.

I look at what potentially could've been a landmark epic and all I could say is "what a waste".

Like I said earlier: Spike made his comments 2 years ago and as far as I know it was a one time thing. AND in this interview nobody asked Tyler about Spike's comment OR the criticism. HE went on that tangent and tirade completely unprovoked and lashed out at Spike's valid criticism . . . AGAIN. Maybe he did it for publicity to get attention for his film cuz it definitely got some due to this "controversy."

Also, in the last 6 months, I've personally discussed TP's films with 3 different people who STARRED in some of his movies. In each case, I did not bring up TP, they did. And every last one of them said, and I quote: "Fuck Tyler Perry." Yet, they acknowledged that, sadly, if they want to work and he calls they gotta say yes cuz who knows when the phone will ring again. It sucks being black in Hollywood if you ain't Denzel or Halle. confused

So, the people who worked/working in Tyler Perry's films think his films shitty too. Well well, what do you know? So much for Spike Lee's supposed "bitterness/jealousy/hateration etc etc etc" lol

Allow me to re-print some quotes from the article:

No doubt, that top talent would surely prefer to have other options in film roles if they were indeed available. They aren’t. Just ask Angela Bassett.

“Listen, no one in black Hollywood is going to attack Tyler’s work—in public that is," says a well-known black Hollywood producer who also asked not to be identified. “But be clear, no one--not the black actors in his films or anyone else black in this industry--thinks he’s doing outstanding work. No one is going to say that out loud of course because they need the work. He’s the only one hiring."

With consistently solid ratings for his television shows on TNT and box-office hits in theaters, some say Perry’s become spoiled and accustomed to the unwavering support he’s enjoyed from the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, and others.

“That’s why he’s so pissed at Spike. No one calls him out like that," says the producer.

Apparently even Lee doesn’t call him out like that anymore. Several sources say that after Lee openly criticized Perry in 2009, a few well-established black directors and producers approached the New York-based Malcolm X filmmaker and asked him to tone down his rhetoric. The concerned group cited the need to show a united front in support of Perry’s success to the mainstream world despite any misgivings with his work.

Lee has yet to respond to Perry’s recent comments, and Perry did not respond to The Daily Beast's request for comment.

It benefits no one black to attack anyone else black in this business, it’s too few of us at this point to even get caught up in that fight. No one wins," said another producer who also declined to be identified.

1. Tyler Perry not doing any outstanding work?!? Oprah & Janet would disagree with that one! lol

2. I find it impossible to believe that Spike Lee is going to stay quiet about any of this. The little man has too much of that (......boule! lurking ) ego to let Tyler defend him in a war of words. But then, I could be wrong. We'll see in a few months.

3. The main people that actually do benefit for see two black filmmakers within the industry are the ones that were already getting most of the best job positions and are still calling the shots. Just ask Profressor Griff, Texe Marrs, Jeff Rense, Oliver Stone, OR anyone else that has risk getting blacklisted for speaking the ugly truth:

Watch within the 2:05-4:00 mark.

Saw the movie yesterday and it was about a 7 out of 10.

1. The acting was a bit amateur

2. The comedy was great

3. Because I saw the play, the messages were the same...the play was better btw....some of the jokes that were in that play were in the film. Some of the stories were different; there was not a disabled teen or a stealing uncle..they were replaced by a woman who had bad kids and was controlling of her huisband and a selfish daughter who held a bad secret from her partner.

Overall, the movie had alot of Madea and kept the comedy flowing through. The Maury skit was funny as hell I gotta say that falloff

Lets not forget:

Teens trash Spike Lee over Absolut Brooklyn vodka marketing presence in neighborhood

Spike Lee put Bedford-Stuyvesant on the cinematic map, but some teens think he sold out the neighborhood with his Brooklyn-themed Absolut Vodka promo.

The kids did a survey of alcohol advertising posters and billboards in the area and found the logo designed by Lee dominated.

"I've seen his movies. I was a really big fan. But he lost respect from me," said Shenel Gunnis, 17.

"You're not supposed to be promoting stuff like that in areas that can barely afford food."

She's one of 10 teens who scoured Bed-Stuy this summer, mapping booze promos for the Children's Aid Society.

They tallied 56 and were surprised that Lee's limited-edition label - featuring the stoop of a Brooklyn brownstone - was the one that popped up over and over.

Frank Moore, 19, said he'd like to tell the "Do the Right Thing" helmsman that's just wrong.

"I'd be like, 'Why? Do you understand what you're doing ... that you're putting up an ad for liquor and you know there's an alcoholism problem here?'" he said

For Tyler Perry or Spike Lee to publicly denouce each other's work is such a "crab mentality."

This concept references an interesting phenomenon which occurs in buckets of crabs. If one crab attempts to escape from a bucket of live crabs, the other crabs will pull it back down, rather than allowing it to get free. Sometimes, the crabs seem almost malicious, waiting until the crab has almost escaped before yanking it back into the pot. All of the crabs are undoubtedly aware of the fact that their fate is probably not going to be very pleasurable, so people are led to wonder why they pull each other back into the bucket, instead of congratulating the clever escape artist.

This crab mentalty has also been displayed by rappers in the past via their verbal war-fare and such. What's this seeming paranoia of someone having a success in their own right? Why the show of discord where there should be public displays of homage? Seems like there is a inate fear among many black artist in that if one makes it into the limelight of accolades then it is an (psycho-)deflation of the ego and (perceived) exit from the limelight for another.

Have you ever heard Quinton Terrentino publicly put down another director. Or have you ever read where George Lucas publicly puts down Steven Speilberg? Or say Chaka Khan publicly denouncing Tina Turner? Or Robert DeNiro publicly denouncing or critizing Al Pacino? The list goes on and on of famous people who refrain from open forums to criticize another artist.

I feel that Spike Lee and Tyler Perry should mature-up and publicly applaud each other for their pioneering efforts and successes and stop wasting our time with the childish *issing contest.

Stop wasting our time Tyler and Spike. Stop the silly verbal warfare! rolleyes

Quote by unknown: I am learning that criticism is not nearly as effective as sabotage

IMO, what Spike and Tyler are doing is "sabatoging" each other's talents and setting a most negative example of successful black artist by publicly displaying a total lack of respect for each other at the public's expense.

U2 should call each other, have lunch, make peace, see if you can collaborate on a project, or agree to disagree (out of the spotlight!)

sigh Din't you know that cuz the directors involved are black mediocrity and straight up coonery is supposed to be accepted to avoid looking like crabs in a barrel at ALL costs??? Cuz God knows that's more important than hoping for positive, diverse images of black people rom a powerful "filmmaker" (and I'm being generous like a muhhfucka)

Mo’Nique Offers to Broker Peace Talks Between Tyler Perry and Spike Lee

Earlier this week in an appearance on The Mo’Nique Show, actor/director Tyler Perry opened up about his career and current projects, as well as his very public beef with fellow directorSpike Lee.

Said Perry of Lee, “He’s a brilliant filmmaker. There’s a lot of things that he could share with me, but for some reason we don’t do that.”

Perry went on to say, “Instead of taking shots and tearing each other down, why don’t you give me a hand, brother? Tell me what I need to know. And maybe I can show you some things too.”

One can only wonder what kinds of things Perry is hoping to learn, and teach.

Mo’Nique responded by inviting the two directors to work out their differences, once again in public, on her show.

“Would you be willing,” she asked Tyler Perry, “if brother Spike Lee is willing, to come on The Mo’Nique Show and y’all have this conversation face to face?”
“Let’s make it happen,” Perry replied.
Mo’Nique then turned to speak directly into the camera: “Brother Spike, you have an open invitation to come and sit with brother Tyler Perry. So that way y’all can show the world at large how we can come together. Because we still are in the land of divide and conquer.”

Mo’Nique went on to say that Perry and Lee are both geniuses who would form a powerful connection.

Will Spike Lee accept Mo’Nique’s invitation? Time shall tell.

I'm beginning to think its more of a marketing ploy than just mere ol' Maya Perry crying foul. Why would he give a fuck about Spike's validation?

And Mo'Nique is pissing me off with the high horse "we living in in a divide & conquer land" tone. True, but this doesn't even deserve to be a goddamn LIFETIME CHANNEL SPECIAL lol They made a dramatic production out of this trivial shit, and like you mentioned, Spike said his peace and moved on, true to form.

I wish those short sighted bitches would see that its not a "Spike Vs Terry" issue and what he said - as much as Terry would like to think so for his ego's sake - is not just some words coming out of an ol' Jealous fart who's plotting & scheming to get him.

I'd love for Spike to ignore them BOTH.

rolleyes WHYYYYY is TP still crying about this??? Spike made those comments two years ago, one time, hasn't said shit publically since. TP has addressed this MANY times since yet is still crying. Nobody is making this an issue but him. Spike's entitled to his opinion and TP should just get over it. And fuck Monique.

I'm beginning to think its more of a marketing ploy than just mere ol' Maya Perry crying foul. Why would he give a fuck about Spike's validation?

And Mo'Nique is pissing me off with the high horse "we living in in a divide & conquer land" tone. True, but this doesn't even deserve to be a goddamn LIFETIME CHANNEL SPECIAL lol They made a dramatic production out of this trivial shit, and like you mentioned, Spike said his peace and moved on, true to form.

I wish those short sighted bitches would see that its not a "Spike Vs Terry" issue and what he said - as much as Terry would like to think so for his ego's sake - is not just some words coming out of an ol' Jealous fart who's plotting & scheming to get him.

I'd love for Spike to ignore them BOTH.

nod I said that last week. It's the ONLY plausible explanation for why he's harping on this. ESPECIALLY considering that the reporter did not ask him about Spike. He's totally doing this to get added buzz for his lil movie. rolleyes

And you already know how i feel about Monique triflin ass. confused

Found this while watching some Def Poetry clips hmmm

It's all deep but it gets real interesting @ 2:13 I wonder what Tyler thought about this but look at Oprah's face lol

Obviously Lee's comments have gotten to Perry. He should just go to film school and learn the craft. That's all Lee want's. He can share the same lessons in his films sans the cliches and stereotypes if he just learned his craft.

Mo’Nique Offers to Broker Peace Talks Between Tyler Perry and Spike Lee

Earlier this week in an appearance on The Mo’Nique Show, actor/director Tyler Perry opened up about his career and current projects, as well as his very public beef with fellow directorSpike Lee.

Said Perry of Lee, “He’s a brilliant filmmaker. There’s a lot of things that he could share with me, but for some reason we don’t do that.”

Perry went on to say, “Instead of taking shots and tearing each other down, why don’t you give me a hand, brother? Tell me what I need to know. And maybe I can show you some things too.”

One can only wonder what kinds of things Perry is hoping to learn, and teach.

Mo’Nique responded by inviting the two directors to work out their differences, once again in public, on her show.

“Would you be willing,” she asked Tyler Perry, “if brother Spike Lee is willing, to come on The Mo’Nique Show and y’all have this conversation face to face?”
“Let’s make it happen,” Perry replied.
Mo’Nique then turned to speak directly into the camera: “Brother Spike, you have an open invitation to come and sit with brother Tyler Perry. So that way y’all can show the world at large how we can come together. Because we still are in the land of divide and conquer.”

Mo’Nique went on to say that Perry and Lee are both geniuses who would form a powerful connection.

Will Spike Lee accept Mo’Nique’s invitation? Time shall tell.

If I was a gambling man, I would bet at least $50 that Spike would be too much of a pussy to show up to end this feud. lol

If THAT'S^ the case, Spike could have told this to Tyler in person off-camera at anytime within the last 2 years. He didn't. rolleyes
