Samuel L Jackson

May the Lord have mercy on your twisted soul, Gator.

what a career. man.

...until he became Stepin Fetchit.

(for Armond)

Jungle Fever obv.

i think we should do that with every post, have a dedication somewhere in there, like in the beginning of a book

For Morbius

really, his last 8-9 years are pretty fucking embarrassing

last 15 more like it

A Time to Kill is the worst movie since The Sunshine Boys, but SLJ isn't too bad.

I wish Soul Men had been anywhere near as funny as The Sunshine Boys (same plot)

i <3 him as Ordell in jackie brown

I kind of admire the fact that he will appear in almost anything.

like the other day i was eating a bowl of cereal and who do i find looking up at me

Our local film festival runs an annual "surprise movie" event, which I used to attend regularly. I got to see Pulp Fiction without having seen so much as a proper trailer in advance, far less having had the music and dialogue run into the ground. Then, a couple of year later, the surprise was A Time To Kill, and I've never been back since.

AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL

Voted for Unbreakable, that's an underrated film (Shyamalan's best?) and a great performance by him.

I've never seen the 51st State, but I'm tempted to vote for it anyway just because it looks so goddamn stupid.

Note I did not say I'm tempted to watch it.

No, I think I'll vote based on the most ridiculous name. Which leaves "Elmo McElroy" in the running, but stiff comp from "Augustus Gibbons" "Mace Windu" "Gator Purify" "Zeus Carver" and "Romulus Ledbetter."

Which leaves "Elmo McElroy"... "Augustus Gibbons" "Mace Windu" "Gator Purify" "Zeus Carver" and "Romulus Ledbetter."

Crazy names, crazy guy.

Voted for underrated classic The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Tuomas: I love Unbreakable and agree with your assessment. That said, when I saw it in theaters the ENTIRE audience broke out in audible gaffaws with his line ending the film.

honestly, I am watching Jurassic Park on tv rn and i wish i voted for it instead of ATtK. also, i have made a philosophical decision: i do not even want to KNOW anyone who doesnt regard JP as the greatest movie ever, let alone befriend them

imo

i <3 him as Ordell in jackie brown

yep and i'm inclined to say there isn't much worth looking at past '97, except that

is kinda otm

worst film i've sat thru the entirety of, easily

Ah what the hell. Went for "Kiss of Death" as a cop with a constantly teary eye getting David Caruso to wear a wire.

He's done better things but I'm repping "Caveman's Valentine" for his turn as a badass piano playing hobo lunatic.

"STUYVESAAAAAAAAAANT!"

for some reason the second n in "Winnfield" pisses me off

His role in Fresh wins for me.

really, his last 8-9 years are pretty fucking embarrassing

i like imagining that Morbz picked this exact timeframe because he's a big fan of Deep Blue Sea and Phantom Menace

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Lakeview Terrace 1!

# The Caveman's Valentine (2001) .... Romulus Ledbetter 3

i recently saw Black Snake Moan and he is actually pretty great there (the movie isnt so great though)

Nice to see other people voting for The Caveman's Valentine. Great performance in an underrated flick.

I missed this but would have voted for Black Snake Moan, which I like a lot, and where he feels more un-Samuel L. Jackson-like than in most of these Samuel L. Jackson School of Acting SNL sketch roles. Lakeview Terrace is very stupid, but he's good in it in a very SLJ School of Acting kind of way. The Caveman's Valentine was unwatchable for me, despite a great premise and a great first 15 minutes or so. And no respect for The Negotiator? That's holy trash.

I watched Lakeview Terrace, and he is really great in it, in that proper way of completely raising the character above the writing.

LOL, missed the comment about Deep Blue Sea. That speech goes in the clip reel.

I had this dream last night that there was a movie kind of like the Eddie Murphy Nutty Professor only with Samuel L. Jackson playing all the characters instead of Eddie Murphy.

One of the characters was a white tv news anchor who utters the line (in *comic white guy voice*) "Coming up next: a local man who got his guitar stuck in his beard."

god help me i want to see that now

would make a good double feature with Hotspacho: The Musical

movies you wish someone had made

I'm the other guy, 'what's in your wallet,' I'm that guy.

I guarantee you Fishburne wd've been even angrier (for being confused with an inferior actor).

so painful

Overreaction

All the comments on how "this is not about race it's just a mistake" like show me one example of any legit entertainment reporter completely mistaking his white actor guest for someone else

Morbz otm

Morbz otm on Morphs

me too, just not when I invite them onto my television show

Would be awesome if this happened more often, with reporters confusing their middling middle-aged female actors or ingenues or British male stage/TV actors or anyone else constantly slotted into specific typecast roles because no one writes for them.

"Wow, I loved you in 'Gravity!"

"I'm Connie Britton, dammit!!!"

NEVER tape sex live before a studio audience

dude can really sing

I think it would have been a great joke to have him do "I Ran" instead.

I guess the math adds up, but it blows my mind that Samuel L Jackson is *70*.

Possibly the only celebrity I'd bother quoting on Trump at this point:

Jackson, who has been a frequent critic of President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers, was asked if he worries about "antagonizing fans" with his ideology.

"I know how many motherfuckers hate me. 'I'm never going to see a Sam Jackson movie again.' Fuck I care? If you never went to another movie I did in my life, I'm not going to lose any money. I already cashed that check. Fuck you. Burn up my videotapes. I don't give a fuck," he said.

"I already cashed that check" should be on a T-shirt.
