In an interview published this morning in the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper, badass cowboy/cop actor and Oscar-hoarding director Clint Eastwood indicated that fellow filmmaker Spike Lee should just "shut his face" when it comes to criticism of Clint's "Flags of Our Fathers."
See, Lee dared to wonder aloud why there weren't any black soldiers in the World War II drama. "There were many African-Americans who survived that war and who were upset at Clint for not having one [in the films]," Lee explained to MTV News today. "That was his version: The negro soldier did not exist. I have a different version."
So will the war of words continue in the pages of the press? Not likely — or at least not from Lee's side, anyway.
"I'm going to take the Obama high road," he said. "It's not a feud."
