Oh my God...You guys wanna know what sucks? I never saw this anime, and I didn't think it was going to be that good. [It was on Spike and I just had no interest at the time.] I thought it was all hype, but it guess it was really good huh? Suckkksss


The series was basically all style and no substance, but if that's what you're looking for then Afro Samurai is the show for you.
Really? Thanks for the heads up. I'd rather not waste my time.

I liked Jumper, and it would have been exponentionally better if Jackson hadn't been in it. I'm sorry, but he can't seem to play anything except 'angry black man' which he pioneered in Die Hard 3, aside from his brief stint as an 'angry black Jedi Master'.


i guess Samuel L. Jackson isnt for everyone

darkness: You might want to consider "Red Violin" and "Do the Right Thing".

Basically, people who like Shaft will like the Afro Samurai movie.

Um, I saw The Red Violin many years ago... and I've never seen a Spike Lee movie... and I fail to see how either of those have anything to do with this topic, unless you're implying that the African-American male stereotype in movies is 'angry black man', in which case, Samuel L. Jackson simply acts the stereotype. I might like him more if he acted outside it, though, like Will Smith or Lawrence Fishburne.
