He was in Jurassic Park. He was in The Incredibles. He was in Coming to America. He was in one of the good M. Night Shamalyan films. He was in Phantom Menace, fer cryin' out loud....No, strike that: He was in ALL THREE LUCAS PREQUELS!!!!

Now, given all this information and more at the click of a button, I don't think it's that unreasonable at all to ask:
Why...on this good green earth...does every single gawd-fersaken SLJ joke have to treat the actor as if he made ONLY ONE SINGLE FILM IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER????????

He sacrificed his very dignity to appear in those Star Wars films, never mind "Deep Blue Sea"; does that sacrifice mean nothing to you????

Lighten up, it's all in fun. I have nothing but respect for what he has done, but even he will poke fun of himself sometimes.

This is freaking hilarious. I just saw the spoof Epic Movie where a look-alike SLJ comes up and says something about the snakes on the plane, lol, but that's all he says

Well, that's just it, y'see:
Reportedly, he went back and reshot the "M-F**in' snakes!" line into SoaP, because everyone else had been making the exact same lame gag for six months, and he thought they'd be "disappointed" if it wasn't actually in the movie.
Now, wouldn't that bit of shameless, crawling audience-kissup normally come under the header of the old "By the time you hear a trend joked about on a TV sitcom, it's already dead" rule?

And whose fault WAS it, I ask you?--Not his a bit.
He's done his part of his profession to try and anti-typecast himself, and for all his hard work we just keep pushing him back down that well.
I hope you're all proud of yourselves.

So when Jim Carrey at an MTV Movie Award special refered to himself as "one bad Motherf***er" when he won something and Samuel L Jackson went up and corrected Jim by saying "No no, Jim, you're one funny motherf***er, Me, I'm one bad motherf***er," who would you like to blame that one on? Give it up, no one is disrespecting Samuel L Jackson, the man has tons of talent. But he's also made some catchphrases that I am sure he's proud of. And I am sorry, but Snakes on a Plane blew goat cheese and Samuel knew it. So what did he do? He went and had fun with it by going back and making it as over the top as possible and he made it funnier. But if you want to try to make all of his films into art, go for it. But the rest of us will continue to think of lines from other movies that Samuel L Jackson could've delivered better.

Oh, relax--I'm just trying to be ironic and satirical here, while underlining the more real point of "Dear gods, this comic well's been pumped dry for eight years!...WE'VE HEARD IT!!! "

(It was lame back when it was the "M-F***in' Jedi" joke twelve times a day on every single board, and that was 1999, fer rice cakes!)

Reminds me of the Chapelle show skit.

"Haven't you ever seen my movies!!"
"Deep blue sea, a shark ate me!!!, a F*@%ing shark ate me!!!"

"No sir, just anxious to woop E.T.'s Mother F$%kin' ass!!"

Jeff Goldblum: "You really think you can fly this thing?"
Samuel L Jackson: "F$%k you, Mother F#$ker!!"

He got money for those roles, didn't he? So, why do you portray that as a sacrifice anyway?

Yeah. That line was from Die Hard With a Vengeance: Special Motherfu#%in Edition.

[darkpoet25]

Eddie who? what cd cover is your avatar. I've seen it before but can't remember what it is.

[Eddie who?]

Pearl Jam's Binaural. It's the Hourglass Nebula located in the Motherf#@*er Galaxy.

Nah, I think it would've been funnier to see Mr. Jackson as Morpheus:

Morpheus: Do you BELIEVE, mutherf*cker!? And if you can't jump from one roof to another, YOU AIN'T SH*T!!!

Neo: Why?

Morpheus: Because, I'm Morpheus, and you're the new punk.

Neo: Why?

Morpheus: Stop saying "why?" mutherf*cker!
