That movie is an F5 tornado where most other that tackle those subjects don't even register.

You're right, that guy explodes off the screen. So happy Shorty got an Honorable Mention as well. I love that film.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-50220560631954378822015-03-22T21:17:49.671-04:002015-03-22T21:17:49.671-04:00Not sure when that pic is from, but I think it is ...Not sure when that pic is from, but I think it is fairly recent.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-16274087176574129282015-03-22T14:04:42.292-04:002015-03-22T14:04:42.292-04:00Is that his recent photo?

His legacy as a director and his overall persona overshadows this part of him. He certainly anchors Do the Right Thing.

I'm not always a fan of Lee's films, to be honest, but I've often found him a very good actor. In many ways, I think he's the best thing about Do the Right Thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
