I PREFER TO THINK OF IT AS AN EXODUS FROM AN UNDESIRABLE PLACE: Hejira Henry, Gator Purify, Mace Windu, Elijah Price, Mr. Señor Love Daddy, Romulus Ledbetter, Zeus Carver, Jules Winfield, and Elijah Price -- whom they called Mister Glass -- who gets better character names than Samuel L. Jackson, who turned 60 years old today?

Feel free to celebrate any aspect of his illustrious career (which didn't really take off until after he turned 40) tonight. Enjoy a beer. One things that makes me happy is knowing that if I see that Deep Blue Sea is on cable, I can wait until exactly one hour in to watch the greatest speech in film history. You think water moves fast? You should see ice ...
