    Enjoy and be utterly amazed at this undoubtably career-ending buffoonery. SLJ slams this moron with both barrels.

    On a related note, anybody going to see the new RoboCop reboot? Tongue Out

    ...Wow. Just... Wow. I can't believe this even happened. I will be seriously surprised if this man is not fired. They don't even remotely look alike. As Samuel L Jackson said himself: "Oh HELL No."


    (And yes- Of course I will be seeing the reboot. Tongue Out)

    Yeah couldn't have said it better myself. I mean sure some people can look alike... but come on... those two don't look anything alike. Love how Sam gnawed on that like a dog gnawed a bone.

    I almost felt sorry for the reporter. With emphasis on almost.

    On another note, I saw a reporter classing the movie as, not a reboot, but a new start with the same background idea.
    lol Isn't that what a reboot is?

    I saw this yesterday and clicked on it... incredible. I'm glad SLJ went off on him in a non-Jules from Pulp Fiction manner, especially as it was live TV. If it was taped, I'm sure we'd see the Jules rendition.

    Speaking as someone who sometimes confuses Chris Rock with Chris Tucker: How the heck does anyone confuse Samuel L Jackson with Laurence Fishburne?
