Samuel L. Jackson Claims Strange Film Editing May Have Cost Him Academy Award Consideration
  • deserve

    Yes, that's a good way to put it. He basically thinks he deserves an award, and the many people who vote for them do not. They could be wrong, they could be biased, there could have been a lot of performances that just barely surpassed him that year, etc etc. But he's not entitled to an award, no one is! And again, I would argue he has been recognized for his work in many ways.

    If you disagree, that's fine, but you shouldn't use straw-man arguments. I had several points in my comment and "he shouldn't want to be recognized" was not one of them.

  • Samuel L. Jackson Claims Strange Film Editing May Have Cost Him Academy Award Consideration
  • I love SLJ, but what a (public) temper-tantrum. I realize actors often have unique personalities and that he's earned a lot of his success... But he's also operating at some of the highest levels of privilege, wealth, fame, and adoration. And that's not enough for him...?

    A lot of actors think they have been snubbed by the Academy (some rightly so). But to publicly blame your directors and editors comes across as very whiney and is unprofessional. If he wants control over how something turns out, he should direct something, but currently that's not his job.

  • Alabama woman who was attempting to assist toddler on interstate found alive.
  • So... It's sounding like she was lured out of her vehicle... with a toddler?? And family members heard a scream as she was talking to them on the phone!?

    Glad she's alive, but I hope justice is done in this wild story...

  • Thanks for sharing your findings, the toy chest idea is very cool! I also want to say you are clearly very good humans for trying so many different solutions for your whiskered friends! I wish you all happy times together...

  • Gwinnett Place Mall, Duluth, GA
  • I'm certainly not an expert either, but logically an immobile escalator disconnected from power is (to borrow the Mitch Hedberg bit) simply stairs! They don't block off stairways in buildings and force everyone to use the elevator...

  • Gwinnett Place Mall, Duluth, GA
  • I hate when escalators are blocked off for no reason... I was at a mall where they were all blocked off so you had to go to the entire other end of the mall to use the one elevator for the entire mall!

    Unless they're actively getting worked on, just leave them as stationary stairs if they're not working! Just makes the entire place more unfriendly to people visiting...
