  I get what Spike Lee was trying to accomplish, but the part that really offended me was the Wall Street bashing (@ 1:20). Spike obviously has some distorted view of how he thinks Wall Street guys are. The rest of the scene was okay, but not the Wall Street part.

  Thoughts?

  Why did Spike spend so much time and attention on the Wall Street guys?

  "Send them to jail for fucking life" is a bit more harsh than "Fuck them."

  hedge, I know you're not a wallstreet guy. You're way too sensitive.
  but you're secret is safe with me...

  • This is the distorted perception of Wall Street I mentioned.– hedge1/11

    so in reality, wall streeters are more, er, um... hippish?– robotron3k2/11

    Hip? Where did you extract that from?– hedge3/11

    sometimes you sound like a constipated robot. i think you're really c3po.– spl33nidoru4/11

    well, if you are extremely sensitive to a fictitious film, then you must always be sensitive, so you would be a hippy.– robotron3k5/11

    Hipster?– hedge6/11

    I don't see the connection.– hedge7/11

    right, hippy is 60s, more like emo. do you find youself listening to Sigor Ros too much??– robotron3k8/11

    spl33nidoru, sounds like you like potty talk. me, i'm not into that so much. as far as my constitution, i'm punctual, daily.– robotron3k9/11

    Get over yourself Dinky.– Cloutier10/11

    actually robotron3k that was directed to hedge. shoulda been more attentive to your name, my bad– spl33nidoru11/11

  • it's an extract of his movie, the 25th Hour.– spl33nidoru1/4

    that actor always stands on his soapbox and spews venom in every movie he makes, must be apart of his contract..– robotron3k2/4

    you should watch Everybody Says I Love You– spl33nidoru3/4

    ahhh, did not know it was from a movie... thought it was a short or something.– jfletcher4/4

  Well, parts of it may be somewhat true for some brokers on the street.

  Keep in mind that I am not a broker. I run a hedge fund. The two are drastically different.

  Lee paints all Wall Street guys with the same played-out brush, like they are all Enron thugs.
