#spikelee — Public Fediverse posts

I wrote years ago about Spike Lee’s MO’BETTER BLUES, which turned 36 yesterday. Here’s what I wrote of one of the film’s scenes and its location in New York City. Big thanks to Scott Jordan Harris and the late great film critic Roger Ebert. This essay appears in the 2011 book “World Film Locations: New York”, which Mr. Harris edited. #film #mobetterblues #spikelee #nyc #brooklyn

Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing" released this day in 1989.
#SpikeLee #DoTheRightThing

Exactly 37 years ago today Spike Lee’s DO THE RIGHT THING was released, taking the WORLD by storm. This film is and will continue to be talked about long after we have left this place. An unforgettable cinematic experience. Happy 37th birthday to DTRT and congratulations, Brother Spike!!!! ✊🏿❤️🖤💚❤️🖤💚❤️🖤💚🙏🏿

(I took this video outside Spike’s office in Fort Greene, Brooklyn earlier this month - June 2026)

Spike Lee vindt de kritiek op de film Michael, over het verzwijgen van beschuldigingen van seksueel misbruik door Michael Jackson, onterecht. Volgens de regisseur zou die verhaallijn niet in de film passen.
