Starting to get tired of him

Hes been showing up in many crappy movies recently, but i forgive him cause hes an good actor.

I LOOOOOVED him in Sphere.
He was exactly how I would have imagined the character in the book personality wise.
Too bad the movie wasn't well received.


Though I'm no fan of Terrintino (too violent), Sam's speech at the end of the movie is really fun to watch.


Lucas wasted him completely as Mace Windu in Star Wars. Then again, Lucas has some really really top rated actors/actresses that ended up fumbling through stupid lines and ruining the entire thing.

Sam's the kind of actor who can really pull it together, but his movies are only as good as the directors and plot.


My favorite Sam Jackson 'performance' ever is when he introduces all George Clinton and some of the funk acts during the 2004 grammys. That shit was hot.

I like him, but he's more whore than actor now.

the guy does too much

I missed that about The Spirit. Save yourself. Stay home and punch yourself in the nuts for 2 hours.

I think these days he chooses his roles based on the kind of wig he gets to wear I still like him, he can be great but he's coasted for many years now. Good for him though, fuck it...

I mean, I love that Terrintino-guy.....

I fell in love with that fool in School Dayz and Jungle Fever. But he became my muthafucka in Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, which are a testament to Tarantino's vivid writing IMO. He's one of the few celebs I've actually enjoyed kickin' it with cuz he's a fool, unpretentious and brilliant.

me too, I mean I like him but it seems like he plays the same character over and over again

i dot really like him as an actor altho i did like his performance in Black Snake Moan.

I just wish he wasn't always the bad ass in every film.

Samuel Jackson

I have loved him since I saw him in Jungle Fever....as Gator. But when I saw Pulp Fiction...the dude is a genius!!!

Exactly

I think my favorite was Caveman's Valentine. He plays "crazy" well.

Imago said:

I loved him in Sphere also. I thought the book's character was made for Jackson. The Long Kiss Goodnight is one of my favorites. I also loved him and Spacy in The Negotiator. Anyone remember him as Minister Garth in Def by Temptation??

And tell me he wasn't great in A Time to Kill!! With Spacy again...

I know he does. He's got 8 movies coming out in 2009 and 2010. But, why am I not sick of him like I am sick of Beyonce?

Ummmm, I dunno, talent perhaps.

MRGee said:

Dude.

Zelaira?

Is that you??

Intense.....but his range has been very narrowly defined thus far in his career.

probably because you know SLJ would NEVER do some lame shit like this....
