Hell of a time to go with his work being celebrated at the NYFF and Criterion box set coming out next week.

I'll never forget seeing THE WATERMELON MAN in the summer of 1970, right on the heels of COTTON COMES TO HARLEM. The beginning of an era...

Sad news. He made a huge impact on cinema.

Sweet Sweetback’s Baadassss Song is a classic.

So he died on the 21st of September….the man who gave Earth, Wind, and Fire their first break…like that wasn’t planned.

Iconic director, RIP.

Wasn't a huge fan of his style, but I totally understood his importance to Film... Black Film in particular. RIP MVP...

OK, dumb question ... didn't he die a few years ago?
