The 20th anniversary of the release of Spike Lee’s ground-breaking movie Do The Right Thing, which dealt with a day in the life of a block in Bed Stuy, and in so doing brought the multi-layered issues of gentrification race coexistence and conflict in the inner city to a broader national audience. Two decades later, how much has changed and how much remains the same?

“one was pretty hot actually, but I digress”

I loved Summer of Sam.
Arrrgggghhhhhhh…Extra is going to do something where they show you what MJ would have looked like now if he had remained “black.” I thought he was always pretty good looking before he changed. But that’s just my taste.
ditmasSnark- Nooooooooooo!Then we have to call you ditmasSnore.
I too thought Summer of Sam was very good.
I loved Crooklyn, but I loved Summer of Sam too.
> i didnt realize ditmassnark was snarkslope in the tiny sandwich thread
Yeah, that was me. I’m going to try to be nicer as my Mid-Year’s Resolution, starting tomorrow…
> Hope it went smoothly and you are happily ensconced in the new digs!
Thanks! I had good movers (one was pretty hot actually, but I digress) and I am very happily ensconced.
Go home just before it started.
