Current Events > What spike lee movies do you like?

(+) Yeah! (+)

which ones? do you like any of his movies?

---

do the right thing is pretty solid
blackkklansman was good as well.


---

I actually saw him in NYC in the morning one day on Madison Ave. He was outside of a store talking on the phone. It was like 8:30 am and it was just me and him in the area, I wonder if I should have gone up to him.

I don't watch movies by racists

i've never seen a spike lee film i didn't like (seen: jungle fever, malcolm x, bamboozled, inside man, miracle at st. anna, blackkklansman, a huey p. newton story)

---

what? a racist? please explain

---

Clockers and 25th Hour are the only ones I really like.

Do the Right Thing has cool style and shit but (just like the rest of his movies) it ends like "wtf"?

Blackkklansman was ok but I don't like when directors change whatever the fuck details they want from the source material and then say "based on a true story" (Looking at Clint Eastwood's depiction of Chris Kyle's life also)

---

The 25th Hour
Blackkklansman
Do the Right Thing
Inside Man
School Daze
She's Gotta Have It

I've still got to see Malcolm X, which I heard was really good.

---

any of you like he got game?

---

Came in specifically to bring up He Got Game. Fucking love that movie, Denzel and even Ray. Its phenomenal all the way through. Has everything you need in a movie and just cant say enough good stuff about it.

saw the spizike (think thats what theyre called) Nikes yesterday and damn I wanted them so bad

I know you're not talking to me but I have a pair of He Got Game 13s

I like Air Max 1s (87), 95s and 97s. Not so big on the 90s or any of the newer ones.

Edit: they have 'reverse' He Got Game 13s coming this year. They are dope, prob will be hard to get. I might buy some PK replicas because I hate getting up early and fucking with the SNKR app and if you preorder from eBay you're likely gonna get duped with PKs anyway.

Yeah they are the white 13s with the black around them. The re-released them either last year or 2018.

Like I said in that edit the 'reverse' ones dropping this year are cool too.

how much are these shoes selling for dude?

Uhh I don't remember how much the He Got Games were, I think 180 but coulda been 200. Retro Js top out at around $240.

Those are sitting in a box at my parents' house. If I plan on actually wearing them I usually buy replicas, those go for 60-150 depending on how perfect you want them, the 120-150 dollar replicas are gonna come with the exact box and Nike/Jumpman keychain and extra laces.

But if you want a real pair, they are deadstock, you'd have to check GOAT or Stockx in your size to see what resellers are getting for them

you buy replicas? idk, really wouldn't ever do that

Bamboozled is like a horror movie. I like how audacious it is.

---

Haven't seen much of his work. Probably 1 movie that I don't recall. I just see him at a lot of Knicks games. Or did at least. I think he's actually a Brooklyn fan now that they actually have a team.

NBA2K16: Livin' Da Dream

---

I haven't seen many of his movies. I liked Do The Right Thing, Bamboozled, and Blackkklansman.

Inside Man was ruined by the twist. I knew it was coming, but still. Sorry to have put a bunch of innocent people through a traumatic experience, but we got one bad guy. It's all good, right?

I think Inside Man is the only one I've seen, but I really like it

Ehh I probably wouldn't fuck with the replicas if Nike actually made their retro J's worth a fuck and didn't limit their quantities so you gotta raffle or use their app at 8 am on Saturday morning hoping you can get a pair in your size.

I've had PK replicas that were built way better than the real shoes. 'Off Court' my ass. That is basically Nike saying 'you'll tear these up if you try to actually play ball in these'.

I love shoes.

Actually, let me correct that. I love Nikes and therefore kinda Jordans too. I fuck with like 4 or 5 of the Jordans.

what kind of nikes are your favorite? idk are jordans like the best selling line of gym shoes? i know a lot of people like em but i really don't

@gatorsPENSbucs I'm kinda interested too, as a Nike head myself.

I like Jordan 1 Lows and dunk lows, Jordan 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 13. 12s I typically don't like but the FIBA ones are kinda dope and the Stone Blues coming out this summer are fucking dope as shit (I also like the Jimmy Butler 6s because of the cool blue).

I don't like Air Force 1s because they are stiff and I can never get a pair that fits me right but I love the look of some of them. I love Air Max 95s, I've had more compliments over my color choices of Air Max 95s than any other shoes (I work in Memphis schools, for a kid or Coach/Teacher to say 'nice shoes' they gotta be something special).

Air Max 1s OGs and the Jordan 3 Tinker Air Max 1 hybrid are my absolute favorite Nikes. I honestly got pissed at Colin Kaepernick for pulling those Betsy Ross's because those looked dope as shit, flag or not. I think his AF1s look dope but like I said I can't really rock with those and they have his ugly ass mug on the back. I would have maybe bought some to resell some day but the clear blue soles go yellow after years of oxidation.

Most of my kicks are at my parents house some 200 miles away or I'd take some pictures. The only kicks I have out here RN are my 2 Tinker 3s (the OG tinkers and the Air Max 1 tinkers) and 2 pair of Air Max 1s (1 being the OG flavor white/gray/red) and the other are Air Max 1 Premium Work Blue (I love gum/yellow soles). I wear Wheat Timbs in the winter for the most part like I'm from NYC or some shit.


---

Ill get more specific in a little bit when I have a minute but these from the mall over the weekend I would fuck with them all. Tailwinds are some of my favorite nikes. Jordans id say 3, 4, 11-14, had the 15s. Had quite a few of the early ones too when I was a kid.

Blackkklansman was pretty good. I hate Toepher Grace, but he was the perfect choice for David Duke.
