I wondered where Dick Greggory was. I’m glad to hear he’s well and still sharp as ever. When I hear Spike say he wasn’t going to support Django I thought it sounded like jealousy.
Thats exactly what is is, jealous envy, and anger that spike has not made a hit movie since Malcolm X.
Spike Lee is always speaking negatively about movies that he did’t write or direct.Remember he did the same to Tyler Perry.? Sounds like he is going through “Manopause”or jealousy.Thanks Mr.Gregory for setting him straight.
Yeah, spike has not had a hit in decades….
I agree with Dick Gregory’s take on this. I wish Spike Lee had not gone public with his thoughts, but since he did, he left himself wide open for this. Thanks Jueseppi…you always bring it!
Mr. Gregory is always on point…Good to see you this afternoon Ms. Marion. Have a wonderful Tuesday!!
