Did I miss a memo? Can't Clint make a movie without consulting Spike first to see if it meets the proper Equal Opportunity guidelines?

Spike is pathetic. He's not interested in being honest, only in generating controversy. The industrial-sized chip on his shoulder doesn't help. Clint could have pandered to him by gratuitously throwing in an "ammo bearers on the beach" scene, though the story didn't revolve around that, but there wasn't a whole lot of room for non-Japanese in Letters from Iwo Jima. :)

Does Spike Lee ever do anything besides piss and moan?

Yeah, you can award points to really good comments (like this one) by clicking the up arrow next to the avatar of the person who made the comment. It doesn't work, however, for people who are replying to a comment made by yourself.

Jason, I feel like you are holding back... I'm not sure I can tell how you feel about Spike Lee. Next time, could you be a little more direct? No more sitting on the fence.

Doubleplusungood crimethink by Clint Eastwood.

Spike Lee is just looking for something to complain about and to promote his own movie. I'd guess if there was a token African-American who dropped off ammo with the flag raisers he would have complained about that too.

Probably left the Tropic Thunder set and went right to this one :)

Do you think Robert Downey, Jr. is playing the lead in Lee's movie?
