“The politics of what happens during this time of year is very interesting in Hollywood,” Samuel L Jackson said (via TheWrap). “The movies they choose to say are amazing and great, you know — ‘Manchester by the Sea, oh my god, you must see it, it’s an amazing film!’ But, ehh, I guess it is — to somebody.”

SLJ is entitled to his opinion.  But MBTS is a terrific movie and better than about 98% of the films that have come out this year.

 

Better than about 98% of all recent movies Jackson has starred in, as well...

SLJ and Futurist would get along. The former has been pretty vocal about how he likes to go to the movies to be entertained first and foremost and that heavy arty emotional dramas aren't his cup of tea. Thankfully, unlike Futurist, he has yet to cross the line where he's insufferable about it

Exactly. Samuel L Jackson is entitled to his opinion and I do agree that going to the movies should be fun but there are definitely movies that we see for the human story. As I've gotten older I appreciate these movies way more than I did when I was younger.

Lmao I remember being at the Q&A when Jackson said that.

I guess I'm glad that MBTS is a fantastic film but also kinda surprised to see how completely unscathed Affleck is despite his sex harassment scandals. Nate Parker at least went through some troubles, but Affleck really doesn't seem to do anything and no one seems to be asking him about it either. Maybe because since the case is settled the public doesn't really care about it.

Anybody can accuse anybody of anything. Does not mean that he did anything it also doesn't mean that he didn't do anything. But right now this sexual harassment charge against Casey Affleck is not a story in my opinion.
