Look, people, you just don't fuck with a guy who has no name, got it?

Round 1: Spike Lee is pissed 'cause Clint Eastwood didn't include black soldiers in either "Flags of Our Fathers" or "Letters From Iwo Jima" while promoting a movie at Cannes that, among other things, features the guy from "The Cutting Edge."

Round 2: Eastwood responds with something about how "Flags" was about the iconic flag-raising picture and that was only a bunch of white guys and "Letters" was about the Japanese so, you know, only Japanese guys. Eastwood finished up with "a guy like him should shut his face" rather than the more appropriate, "What ever criticisms you have about me are inconsequential because I was the outlaw Josey Wales."

Round 3: Lee counteracts with "He sounds like an angry old man."

What I predict will happen in Round 4: Eastwood responds to Lee's assertion with, "Yes, this is true." He goes onto add that he was in "Hang 'em High," which is really entertaining.

In conclusion -- CAGE MATCH:



vs.



WINNER: While I really loved "She's Gotta Have it" and the guy who edits Spike's documentaries guest-taught one of the only cinema studies class where I didn't want to stab myself in the eye as an excuse to leave, do you really think I was going to give it to anyone buy Harry motherfuckin' Callahan?
