His first notable role was in Jungle Fever but, yes, Pulp Fiction was clearly his breakout role. He has done some other stuff that isn't typical "action Jackson", as it were, like The Red Violin.

Day Shift on Netflix is the new Jamie Foxx vampire hunting film, and I must say it's better than expected. Granted, I expected it to be awful, but it is a fun movie. Not high cinema but a good time nonetheless.

He played the stick up man in COMING TO AMERICA that Eddie Murphy disarmed with a mop handle.

I feel like Jurassic Park and Die Hard w/ a Vengeance were the last times Samuel Jackson was an "actor" and not a "persona." Pulp Fiction came out between those two and definitely cemented his image.

Without looking it up, I'd bet you a beer that it's Pulp Fiction/Jurassic Park/DH3.
ETA: I owe you a beer. You're right. I would've sworn Pulp Fiction was first. I would've also sworn that Jurassic Park was later than 1993.

I watched Top Gun: Maverick last night, and I just don't get the hype. I am wondering if it is like Avatar and there was something special seeing it on the big screen that was lost on my TV.
It's ok, probably not as good as the original plot wise, but with better filmed flying sequences, but I keep seeing these "10/10 Wow!" reviews that I just don't get, talking about how it has heart and soul and is one of the best films of the last few years.

I think that's it. You're right, it's just okay. But the flying sequences are astounding and thrilling in the theater. Plus, this might be a lot of people's first time back in the theater, so that amps it up even more.Ancient_of_MuMu wrote: I am wondering if it is like Avatar and there was something special seeing it on the big screen that was lost on my TV.

I dont think Maverick will hold up long term, the plot is just too dumb, but it was the right film at the right time.
Avatar could have been the same thing, actually, guess we'll see in a few months how much pent up Avatar enthusiasm there is.

I think we've gotten to a point that a big action movie that uses practical effects is something special and unusual. In the age of superheroes, these things are less common and movies like Maverick show how desperately we yearn for something different, even if in the grand view of cinematic history, it may be a rather pedestrian film.

Watched DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS, a really weird Belgian (?!) erothriller, practically into giallo from 1970 or so. Some utterly bizarre swings in mood, but really great costumes and makeup.
Really really enjoyed THE GUNFIGHTER, which is basically UNFORGIVEN about 50 years early with Gregory Peck in the Eastwood role. The dialog is much more heartfelt though. Peck sells being a "bad guy" that's just trying to manage his way in the West as every pissant wannabe wants to be the one that shoots him.

I saw Daughters of Darkness a few years ago, and found myself ambivalent. Interesting visual style but I disliked all the characters.

Yep. I'm basically pulling for Countess Bathory? It's just so weird. Maybe rooting for the concierge? Everyone is an asshole in this movie. And what was the deal with Mother? Like... what? I felt like I was watching a Lynch film except these guys actually wanted to make money so they toned everything down into nonsense.

Yep, perfectly okay Netflix movie, worth a few laughs. As usual these days they've left the hooks in for one or more sequels.

Watched Thirteen Lives last night. Dang, Colin Farrell and Viggo Mortensen are old. Another Ron Howard movie a'la Apollo 13, where you know how it ends but you tense up anyway. My wife kept asking, "Are you sure they all lived?" Yes, I'm sure. The cave diving scenes are insanely claustrophobic; you have to be nuts to cave dive. It's not Apollo 13 but that might be my personal taste. Well worth watching.

Saw True Stories for the first time. A lot of weird, goofy fun. John Goodman is a national fucking treasure.
