Dopeness: Spike Lee: Do the Right Thing Book

Respect..

Celebrating just more than 20 years since its seminal debut, Do The Right Thing remains one of the most important and controversial films of its era. Employing director Spike Lee’s hometown of Brooklyn as the essential setting, this explosive film masterfully explores race and class relationships. Both a critical and popular success, Do The Right Thing became a landmark film that brought serious issues in the African American community to light and established Lee as a major director in American cinema.

Lee also wrote the screenplay, produced, and even starred in this deeply personal film, which was applauded for its commanding visuals provided by Danny Aiello and John Turturro, and an assertive soundtrack featuring Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power.” Including an unprecedented insider’s look at the film, with behind-the-scenes visuals and interviews, this impressive book celebrates the impact of Do The Right Thing on our culture throughout the years. The film is even credited with bringing President Barack Obama and the First Lady together on their first date. Available now through Amazon.

Top Shelf: Aston Martin – 2011 Aston Martin GT4






Good Moola..

Aston Martin keeps a pretty spectacular balance between performance and luxury. The undeniably English-bred automaker somehow maintains a sense of gentility, even as it turns out more and more G-Force capable vehicles. If, in recent years, Aston’s marquee vehicles (like the One 77) have targeted the Londongrad oligarch set, the automaker is still catering to those who want a stronger racing streak in their conspicuous luxury, with it’s GT4. For 2011, the GT4 keeps the familiar Vantage influence; though the V12 version is the inspiration for the updated racer; it also gets a re-mapped computer, offering more power and torque, plus aerodynamic upgrades that provide brutal downforce.

In it’s several years of production, the Vantage GT4 has been one of the most successful cars in it’s class, in terms of both sales and race results – evidence of how brutal it’s power is, and how beautifully that power is carried in the Aston body. The 2011 GT4 is slated to appear in a number of races, including the Challenge of Great Britain, and it’s very own European GT4 Cup. And while there is no word on pricing or availability yet, some sort of limited release of the GT4 for road use would not be surprising – millionaires do tend to get the cars they want.

The book boasts from than 325 color photos across 177 pages and is now available to pre-order from Amazon, with a full release expected in February 2011.
