Every since the madness, mayhem and fun of Brooklyn Blogfest 2010 which was sponsored by Absolut Brooklyn with Spike Lee and Lemon Andersen as keynote entertainment, I’ve been curious about Spike Lee and his latest exploits.

Full Disclosure: Blogfest 2010 was sponsored by Absolut Brooklyn. (Did I already say that?)

Sure, he was a tad officious towards me during the Q&A, but he’s an interesting  guy, it can’t be denied. Here’s a quote from a recent NY Magazine Vulture Page’s interview. In it he talks about teaching at NYU. At the Blogfest, he spoke about teaching and delivered words of encouragement to an audience member who wanted to apply to the film school. Seems he has a new film called Red Hook Summer coming out on July 30. In this interview, he says he wants to be to Brooklyn what Martin Scorsese is to Manhattan.

“I am glad you asked that, because I am going to try to shake the narrative as much as I can. This is not Spike going back to his roots. Red Hook Summer is another chapter in my chronicles of Brooklyn. I am a professor at NYU—I’ve been one the last fifteen years—and one of the courses they are teaching in cinema studies this summer is “Scorsese’s New York.” The postcard has a map of Manhattan and a dot where each Scorsese film took place. For me, it’s Brooklyn. She’s Gotta Have It, Do the Right Thing, He Got Game, Clockers, Crooklyn, and Red Hook Summer.””
