We're going to get into this.

And people are going to be pissed off.

One, name the directors that that happens for again.

Spike Lee has made a million beautiful, incredibly crafted, very important films to me.

But every time a fucking Spike Lee movie comes out, we judge it on the merits.

Now, I don't have a problem with people loving their favorite directors.

I mean, it's so weird that I've been put in this position and like... Chairman of the board of this state?

No, no, no, no, no.

It's weird as if I wasn't raised on Punch Drunk Love or There Will Be Blood or Boogie Nights.

I'm older.

I had to sneak and go see these movies.

Yeah.

Spielberg?
