Well true, but it was such a minimal role though.

His alter ego (Madea) is the one with the real talent.

I hope Madea Goes To Jail becomes a motion picture soon!

CosmicTalk said:

Spike didn't have a great reason to cast Madonna neither. But that crapfilm Girl 6 was made anyway!

Harlepolis said:

Spike can put Janet in a film with Wesley Snipes (love scene included!). I would pay good money to see this film.

you gotta thing for Wesley ehh?

TonyVanDam said:

Step outside, steeeeep outsiiide

sosgemini said:

No. And BTW, I'm straight! But nice try though.

I have a great faith in seeing Janet giving dark-skin brothas a fair chance in a love scene. And no. the kissing scene with 2pac doesn't count, IMO.


EDIT: As a comic book reader, I miss seeing Wesley as the title character Blade.

Harlepolis, Girl 6 was freaking whack!!! It's one of the few Spike Lee joints that I didn't care for. And beside, He Got Game was way better.

TonyVanDam said:

It ain't the 1st time I heard this

I personaly love the movie. Spike knows how to create an organized madhouse scene,,,its part of the movie's appeal.

Speaking of Mr.Lee, what you think about Bamboozled?

Harlepolis said:

Let put it this way: Spike was right!

Eventhough the movie is fictional, Bamboozled is the perfect film that describes everything that is dead wrong about the entertainment industry & the media today. So far, this is one of Spike's best films ever as far as I'm concern.

TonyVanDam said:

And prophetic

Esp when you put shows like "I love NY/Flavor Of Love" into consideration.

Harlepolis said:

....and rap videos.

a Tyler Perry movie? yeah, that sounds about right for where her career is at the moment.

Harlepolis said:

wow, i think you've just named his worst 2 movies.


ironically, i think that Girl 6 is WORSE for it's all-Prince soundtrack. some of the scenes seem to be there for no other reason than to build them around a song. other times, it seems the inclusion of a song at all is out of place. plus, i think he tried to cram every one he liked in there. that movie could've been salvaged with a different cut, and a less-is-more approach to the soundtrack.

Welcome back Tessa!

BTW, why do you believe Bamboozled is one of Spike's worse films?

Naw, his back to back films, Crooklyn and Clockers were his 2 worst flicks.

CosmicTalk said:

You don't like Crooklyn? Thats one of Alfre Woodrad's finest moments. The movie is very sentimental.

Harlepolis said:

I mean, it just didn't reel me in, ya know? It was cool but not what I would expect from a Spike flick.

Harlepolis said:

Crooklyn is a very underrated family film. I'm so disappointed it didn't do well at the box office like it should have.

CosmicTalk said:

I hear you,,,,I can expect that anyway. A typical Spike movie has a variety of mixed opinions about it.

I personaly didn't like "School Daze" @ 1st,,,,but now, I really dig its groove.

Harlepolis said:

Yeah, I was young when School Daze dropped so I didn't appreciate it back then but now I do. Just seeing Samuel L. Jackson in a Jheri Curl was enough for me.

TonyVanDam said:

I think the reason it didn't do well was because he had done so many controversial films up to that point, that when Crooklyn dropped, people were like "Where's the race riot and the interracial love affair?!?!"

CosmicTalk said:

He still a greasy son of a gun

Harlepolis said:

TonyVanDam said:

the only time i think that a movie is really bad is when it's a chore to sit through it and i don't care where it's going or what happens to the characters.

that was the case for me with Bamboozled. which is unfortunated, because it sounded interesting, and i'd heard good things about it.

CosmicTalk said:

I tell you what Spike movie I didn't care much about: Mo' Better Bluse.

With that impressive line-up,,,the story wasn't that much to be. He was trying to outdo Clint Eastwood when he did "Bird" but cat daddy somehow didn't pull it IMO.

Namepeace has a different take on the movie than I, though.

CosmicTalk said:

TBF, Crooklyn was release so many months after Malcolm X.
