Rich-WHAT? Richmond. Rich-WHAT? Richmond.

I'm not sure if I have told any of you this before, but I DID meet Samuel L. Jackson over Christmas break. Samuel's probably only called me on the phone a dozen times since then. He only calls when he needs advice about movies or girls-stuff like that. I usually don't tell anyone cause to me, it's not that big of a deal. I guess some people get excited about movie stars, well not me. I guess after your sister is on Fear Factor, your girlfriend on Price is Right, and Samuel L. Jackson gives your phone number out to all his Hollywood friends, it gets a little old.

Anyway, Samuel gave me a ring today; this is how it went down:

SLJ: What up J, how you been? I haven't seen you since the golf tourney in Hawaii.
J: Holla back Jack, you know how I roll.

SLJ: So how you been homie?
J: I been chillin'... what about you? You make any movies lately?

SLJ: Yeah Dawg, you best go out and see my new flick, Coach Carter. It's the shizzz.
J: For real? I got this girl who might want to PAR-TIC-I-PATE, you know; I'll check it.

SLJ: Who you rollin' with these days? That same one? You ain't spittin' your game no longer?
J: Naaa boooy. I'm just sittin'. She all right.

So I went and I have a few things to say. I was really happy with SLJ's role as Coach Carter. He had class and gave everyone respect. He wouldn't let his players say "the n-word" because he said how degrading it is. A few people could learn a lesson from him (smiley :).

Also, the movie never turned racial; it was never a conflict where white, rich boys would pick on the black, inner-city kids. Coach Carter of Richmond High gave the black kids a positive role model; I was impressed.

I didn't cry, and I didn't make fun of squatting runners; but I had a great time.

So take your pick, movie reviews are a dime a dozen these days. But, if you feel you got nuthin' to do and you want to chill wit some fat beats, you know where to go.
