Hollywood directors Spike Lee and Clint Eastwood seem to be getting into a war of words and unlike the Donald Trump vs. Rosey O'Donnell wars, this one is much uglier and not entertaining at all.
It stems from comments that Lee made about two of Eastwood's 2006 movies--"Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima." Lee criticized Eastwood for not portraying any African American soliders in his movies. Eastwood responded by saying that if there had been any African-American men helping to raise the flag at Iwo Jima in the famous photograph that he would have had it in his film.
Then he told Spike Lee to "shut his face."
Lee responded in kind by saying that "Eastwood is not my father, and we're not on a plantation."
OK, gentlemen, KNOCK IT OFF! This sounds like a conversation that needs to be taken off-line and settled privately. This is definitely not funny.
