Samuel L. Jackson is so cool, the L stands for *beep*

the problem with Samuel Jackson is that he's always Samuel Jackson. He doesn't 'portray' the character. Same goes for his role in Star wars. He isn't jedi master Mace Windu, he's simply Samuel Jackson dressing funny. And thats not too 'cool' hahahaa.

That is very true. Since most of his roles have him play the badass beep he is typecast as the badass beep I honestly believe he cannot do a serious drama because he will probably have no need for swearing, shouting or shooting.

Nah, I totally disagree man. I mean I respect your opinion, I always find myself writing supposedly controversial stuff on IMDb, but on this one I have to go with the masses. Jackson is the proverbial badass black man.
Go to the loo, 'cause all the beep's coming out your mouth instead of your a-hole -

Samuel L. Jackson is cool. But not in the way you think of people as cool. If you can't find the taste for it then that's fine. I personally don't think that Clint Eastwood is cool. The only thing he can do is make the same damn face over and over and just whisper his way through the movies. But do you agree with that? No, of course not. That's my OPINION.

I actually used to really like Sam up until I saw Shaft. I mean he's awesome in pulp fiction and various other movies, but while i watched this movie it slowly dawned on me that sometimes he really just phones it in. His acting basically consists of him shouting every single line (strangely when it really isn't required) and swearing alot.. his catchphrase is basically beep
Too bad, because its spoiled any other performance for me. -

To anyone who doesn't think Sammy J is cooljust look at his resume. Seriously, if he wasn't "cool" he wouldn't have more than 25 years of acting under his belt. If he was a crappy actor, nobody would cast him in any roles. True, not all his gigs have been academy award winners, but there is obviously a demand for one of the "coolest" actors in the business today. Sorry if people don't agree,just MY opinion.

Yes, and now you know what is in the minds of the masses. Pure idiocy. They love ugly swearing piece of crap criminal jerkoff. That to them is "cool".
I see atfer reading all the comments, they don't really mean cool at all, they mean "bad a** !!!!! and M'Fer !! " <<< That's what they really mean, they do NOT mean cool at all.
The little psychotic dark violence crimes lover worshippers are probably too much of a bunch of little slimebag punks to be able to even picture "cool" when it doesn't involve massive threats and violence.
So of course this thread is stuck on stupid, as usual. A bunch of freaking morons, not even knowing what they're arguing about, or at the very least using the wrong word while they spew their fanboi syndrome.
Gosh, I am so sick of stupid. Stupid is not cool. -

Bruce Campbell is the coolest actor ever, no matter the role, no matter the movie, he always steals the scene, and he does it without having to scream or otherwise TRY to grab your attention. It's kind of like Will Smith a lot of times or Steve McQueen.
That being said, I don't think Jackson is cool, he's a badass and I'm not sure whether to think of that as something different than cool or a different kind of cool.
I don't know if any of you saw Grindhouse, but in the second movie (the one Tarantino directed), he seemed to try and turn the black actress acting alongside Rosario Dawson into a female Jules, and it just didn't work. -

You're all pathetic. If Samuel L. Jackson would ever stoop so low as to waste his precious time reading all these crocks of B.S., he would track every single one of you down and hurt you, because he does a fantastic job of portraying an angry black dude.
But he's still the epitome of cool, while you are all busy thinking epitome is pronounced "epi-tome". Like a tome of knowledge. A BOOK. -

what does pulp fiction or samuels role in it have to do with SHAFT? he was good in it, but thats no legitimation to play shaft.
here are my reasons why jackson was NOT the right person to play that 70s icon:
1.he is too old
2.he is not convincing as a guy who can beat up thugs. i mean look at his body. but wait his body is never shown, guess why no muscles
3.he is no womanizer
if you ask me, there was only ONE perfect choice for that role and its
WESLEY SNIPES
but too late, bah -
