This blog posting from Maki has been sitting in my bookmarks for a month waiting for me to get around to posting it online, but I liked the idea, so I’m finally getting around to it. It’s a list of PROs and CONs about why Samuel L. Jackson should be awarded an Oscar for his performance in the movie. Here’s a taste:

Pro:
Samuel L. Jackson was completely robbed in 1994 for Pulp Fiction. That may be the most memorable performance of the ’90s and Martin Landau goes home with the Oscar? Please. The man is due some retribution for that crime.

Con:
Formula 51, The Man, Star Wars Episodes 1, 2, 3,**** xXx, Twisted… Need I go on? There’s not much he’s had since probably Jackie Brown that’s worth recognizing. The man will do anything for a paycheck these days, it seems. At least he had one of the best scenes ever committed to film in Deep Blue Sea, which I won’t ruin for all four of you who haven’t seen it, but I’ll just say that it absolutely makes the movie. The movie goes from a 1-star movie to 3-stars on my scale just from that one scene alone. I’m not even joking.

It’s worth a quick read, enjoy.
