To me, Spike's directorial career is like that William Friedkin - they made so much trash, but ultimately they have three certified masterpieces under their belts.

Friedkin

The French Connection

The Exorcist

Sorcerer

Spike

Do The Right Thing

Malcolm X

25th Hour
 
I think if I actually looked it up Spike, # wise at least, has more decent to good to great movies than bad.

Its just he fell off. So his last 5 movies I think have sucked and that's really sticks with ppl that may have been on the fence with his decent work. It doesn't help he isn't making movies a bit more frequently like he use to and that seems to be cuz he does a lot more documebtary work (that MJ doc is great) and smaller projects for HBO and the like and indie stuff.

He Got Game, Inside Man & Miracle at St. Anna were pretty good as well.

I think Spike realized that he'll never get the funding or critical acclaim that he deserves, so he's just putting out whatever project tickles his fancy, with his NYU Film students.

Nobody in my circle (family included) will discuss or bring up films when I'm around. That's one topic I'm not appeasing in, straight dik head about it if the film sucked.

I'm not playing that **wee wee let's have a Movie group date thing.

Mother and Father- "hey we should get the kids and etc and go see..."
Me- "nah man that's a waste of time, I'd rather be dead"
Mother and Father- :\

Yeah I'm the movie snob of the family Thanks to you guys. No one wants to talk to me about X-men cause I sure they can feel the hate radiate off of me.
 
^ I don't discuss films with my family at all.

I watch mostly weird, off-kilter stuff that is way too "strange."

Looked it up and Netflix is paying Disney $300 million a year for that content, but I'll bet it will be worth it for them.

Elizabeth Banks exits as director of 'Pitch Perfect 3' http://imdb.to/24mYeHI

Still going to be in it and co-produce, but apparently is too busy to direct.
 
Total shot in the dark here, but after one of the Conference Finals games, tbs aired what appeared to be a premiere of their new show, Wrecked.

And I can't find it anywhere. It's not SUPPOSED to air until 6/14, but I swear, after one of the games, there was an episode.

Any idea how I could watch it? It's not on tbs' website, not on youtube, did all kinds of google searches; nothing.
 
i think it's just a 1 time early airing before the official premiere.  I think TBS did the same thing with Animal Kingdom as well
