CharityFolks.com is running an auction to benefit Samuel L Jackson’s charity, ANSA-Artists for a New South Africa. The lucky winner of this particular auction, and one guest, will have a private lunch with Mark Hamill.
Samuel L. Jackson gets payback!
Yesterday was a big day for Hayden Christensen and Samuel L. Jackson fans, as the first trailer for Jumper was released. The movie is based on the book by Steven Gould, which means even Boing Boing got in on the squee action.
Our BNFs can beat up your BNFs, but do they have the buns to be Princess Leia?
IGN lists their top ten cool Star Wars nerds. Honorees include Conan O’Brien, Seth Green, Kevin Smith, Samuel L. Jackson and… Oh, screw it, go read.
In other list news, Princess Leia’s buns top movie hairdo poll, beating out Marge Simpson, Audrey Herburn and John Travolta. That, my friends, is cultural permanence.
Yoda’s death is top ten material
Yoda’s fadeaway makes MTV’s list of the ten most shocking movie deaths of all time. Also making an appearance, Samuel L. Jackson’s deeply ironic exit from Deep Blue Sea, aka the only reason anyone would want to actually watch Deep Blue Sea. (via TOSblog)
“Say what again. SAY. WHAT. AGAIN!”
Surprisingly, there’s no Star Wars on QuigSpot’s list of the ten most obnoxiously over-quoted movies, unless one counts the whole ‘Anything with Samuel L. Jackson’ thing.
Now, maybe I hang out with too many geeks, but there are a few movies missing from this list: What about The Princess Bride? Spaceballs? The Big Lebowski? The collected works of Kevin Smith? What overused movie quotes could you live without?
It’s not a quote exactly, but one thing I don’t miss about scavenging for the weekly video posts is getting blasted with the motherbleeping Main Theme every other video. It’s practically an instant back-buttoner for me these days.
Movie News: Marvel, Blade Runner, Batman
AICN claims that Marvel is writing Nick Fury into Iron Man. And guess who they say is taking on the role of the infamously badass superspy?
Okay, seriously: Samuel L. Jackson. Mind, the source is AICN, and the information is unconfirmed, but who better?

Sam falls to the Dark Side
Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu) reports that he rather enjoyed playing the baddie in his new film Jumpers.
He’s in the movie with a familiar face, Mr. Dark Side himself, Hayden Christensen.
Hayden in another trilogy
I guess trilogies are guaranteed employment for an actor. Hopefully Hayden Christensen sees this as a good thing. His latest movie Jumper (co-starring another Star Wars alum, Samuel L. Jackson) is going to be a trilogy.
Mace is one Bad MoFo
Samuel L. Jackson received a special gift when he finished on the ROTS set.
Thrilled Samuel said: “There’s a lot of lore that goes along with Star Wars and I guess because I’ve been known since Pulp Fiction as a bad motherf*****, everybody thought that should be on my lightsaber.”
Neeson and Jackson spill the beans
Lips were flapping at a film festival in Palm Springs over the weekend. Apparently in “Revenge of the Sith”…. uh… read it here.
And yes, big spoiler!
