spike lee, dw griffith and the history of film studies
Someone recommended that I take a look at this, and I recommend it to you. See the part about Spike Lee at NYU, from Colapinto. Lee was, apparently, "fresh."
Or at least that's what I say when I'm moved to hurl the magazine across the room. Still, I'm a loyal reader, and I invite you to gripe about the always liberal, but never radical, New Yorker magazine. Review the reviews, read the news and complain about all the pretentious nonsense.
