Spike Lee: Still talentless after all this time.

...making a blanket statement that an artist has no talent, just because his work does nothing for you, is wrong.

Really? I hadn't realized that I went to bed in the land of the free and the home of the brave and woke up in the Soviet Union. So who am I supposed to get permission from before I express myself? Or is it that we cannot say anyone has no talent? I can assure you that in the area of making movies, I am utterly talent-free. Maybe that's what qualifies me to make the same statement about Spike Lee: It takes one to know one.

Unlike many things discussed here, talent is a completely subjective topic. What represents talent to me is probably puerile garbage to someone else. So goes it with Spike Lee (and Oliver Stone). I find them to be talent-free. Lots of people probably agree with me. Lots more probably disagree. That's what makes the world go around.

Maybe you just can't relate to Mr. Lee.

No doubt. I expect that has much to do with the fact that, as far as I am concerned, he has no talent.
