i've yet to see bamboozled...probably will see it sometime this week. BUT i do disagree on spike lee contradicting himself. i think that the purpose of kings of comedy was to present a documentary-style feature on black stand-up comedy. i mean i can see how people can say that cedric the entertainer, bernie mac, d.l. hughley, and steve harvey were making fools of themselves on stage...however in my opinion i think that a lot of the things that they talked about or made light of was the tiny flaws or perks that are a part of the black community (and in many cases i can see how other communities of color could relate)- comedic criticism if you will. but those are just my thoughts..maybe when i see bamboozled i can make a better comparison.
but i'm glad to hear that it's a fine piece of work..as with any spike lee production.
peace, vette. ___________________________ got soy milk? http://surf.to/parchmentpaper "uggh..nananana...turn that sh*t off!"
