And ...


"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."


-Ezekiel 25:17

Sam Jackson has yet to achieve that level of global superstardom.

Sorry, but the girlfriend's right. Travolta - ALL. THE. WAY.

Listen to the smart people. At their coolest, this one isn't even close.

I'd have to give you Saturday Night Fever and Grease as being cool. He wasn't cool 'til Pulp Fiction. He was a joke before then.

Welcome Back Kotter had some cool.

Yuh. The only jedi with a PURPLE lightsaber - which, all by itself, sets him miles back in the coolness race.

I bet Mace lets Sy "snootle" him when Yoda's back is turned. The pervy, bald jedi with the "faaaaabulous" lightsaber . . .
