The Irishman is full of sh*t

[Amershire_Ed]

Scorsese grew up in Flushing, and only lived in Little Italy as an adult, when he lived there he was not friends with anyone who grew up there. Yet he makes claims on so many things and no one in the news or movie industry will dispute him. He was criticized a bit by Spike Lee once, now they are best of friends, probably a combination of Lee being told to not ruin the money train, and Scorsese kissing Lee's ass. They now praise each other interviews. Spike Lee recently said 'Marty invited me over to watch on of his movies and give him some advice..." Yeah, right. Scorsese can make some very good films, Lee can't. Scorsese now brags about Lee being his friend. They are both full of shit. Irishman may be good, but it will be overacted by Scosese fans, and no matter how off it is regarding the truth, people will swear it's true cause it's his film.

I beg to differ, Spike Lee has made some very good films.

Inside Man was ok, and had one "Hate Whitey" line. Denzel Washington refers to the White guy as "Another mayonnaise man is a pinstriped suit. In the Black community mayonnaise face is a slur of White people

Summer of Sam went out of it's way to make White people look disgusting, especially the way it portrayed Italians acting.

I mean if that line is offensive then pretty much every mob movie made would be considered extremely offensive. The Sopranos, too. I mean come on.

There's someone named "Morelli" in the documentary that's included with the Mean Streets dvd who talks about his father being a wiseguy in Little Italy and how he and Scorsese grew up together. I'm guessing here, but is it possible this is the son of "Black Alex" Morelli, soldier for Little Italy Genovese captain Pete DeFeo? Do you think he's making everything up? What makes you so certain Scorsese didn't know anyone connected?

Yeah that is true. I haven't seen Inside Man but reading the plot it looks like the usual crap. Hero black cop, evil White villain, pointless Nazi subplot, etc.

lol. Summer of Sam has to be Spike Lee's worst film.

Opinions aside, Do The Right Thing is in the Library of Congress and the National Film Registry. It's considered a great American export of art.

See I think a lot of people would say the usual crap is white cop hero taking down black villain. If someone makes a movie from a different perspective, it’s not the end of the world.

Blame Italian Michael Imperioli (Chrissy on The Sopranos). He wrote the script to Summer of Sam.

Did not know that!

[Grouchy Sinatra]

I think he shared writing duties with a few people but I'm pretty sure he wrote all of the scenes with the Italians. It was why Lee pegged him. They both said so in interviews. His Sopranos scripts were better, imo. He wrote From Where To Eternity, the episode after Chrissy's shot in season 2, and a few others.

It’s propaganda to make a movie about a black hero with a white villain? Lol seriously?
