Spike Lee on the state of the movie business.

In an interview with Slate:

Lee: [F]ilms aren't connecting with the audience. I mean, look. March of the Penguins. How much did that movie make?

Slate: A fortune.

Lee: I'm telling you, it's my belief that people went to see that film because there was nothing else to see. If there were good movies in the theater, they're not going to see a documentary about penguins.

Has Will Smith done anything on black and white issues since Six Degrees of Separation?

How can a black actor not? But so expressly? Don't know. I hadn't thought to group him with those concerned (didn't see See Degrees, but I remember him now from the poster/preview).
