There are many radical things about Spike Lee's newest joint, Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, but you might not get that from hearing him talk about it. As a remake of 1973's Ganja & Hess, Sweet Blood pays tribute to experimental black cinema of the past. It stars Stephen Tyrone Williams as Dr. Hess Green, an affluent archeologist who develops a craving for blood (though Lee has warned repeatedly that Sweet Blood is not a vampire movie). Bloodletting aside, the film's centerpiece is a monologue on the strength derived from the difficult of growing up female and black, delivered by British actor Zaraah Abrahams as Ganja Hightower, Hess's love interest. Several scenes feature a black Baptist church service (in the Lil' Peace of Heaven Baptist Church, where much of Lee's Red Hook Summer was set). These are things we rarely see on film.

Mistakes happen. In the age of the internet, these mistakes can live on a lot longer than normal, but regardless, the proper way to deal with them is almost always a gracious apology, a swift repair or repayment caused by damages, and a healthy dose of contrition. That's the best way. Then there's the Spike Lee way.

Spike Lee's Twitter account may be worth almost $450,000, but it's just one tweet in particular that may end up costing him. Back in March, angered over the Trayvon Martin shooting, Lee tweeted "EVERYBODY REPOST THIS George W. Zimmerman" and then what he thought was Zimmerman's address. In reality, it was the address of elderly couple Elaine and David McClain, who have no ties to Zimmerman or Martin.

Generation Y is the reason Jack Nicholson can't have nice things. The Dads creators defend racism because upsetting entire ethnic groups is super LOLs y'all! And Spike Lee keeps raking in grants even though he has begged us all for millions.

It's not that Spike Lee doesn't have the money to fund his $1.25 million mystery movie he won't release any details about, it's that he would prefer to "appeal to the Kindness in your Hearts" on Kickstarter.
