So about the Samuel Jackson vs Sam Rubin interview...

After so much time, I decided to post something that had me needing to post something...  I am sure a lot of people have seen this:

This is one of the many video captures of this Live Interview done with Samuel L Jackson with Media Anchor, Sam Rubin, from Los Angeles Channel 5, KTLA.

Now, I haven't watched KTLA for a long time, mostly cause I am not in Los Angeles, and the fact our Channel 5 went to a different group for about several years.

Now a lot of search for this topic, a lot of titles, including from TMZ, saying that Samuel Jackson blows up on Sam.

To be honest...  I don't see it that way, at least not after seeing it a few times.

What I do see, is Samuel Jackson believes that Sam Rubin mistook him for Laurence Fishburne, and for good reason, as several people have actually confused both him and Laurence for the others in the past.

But what some people did not see, is during the 'scolding' was the look on Samuel's face as he was 'going off'.  He had a slight smirk on his face.  To me, this looked like Samuel is giving Sam a hard time, because Sam Rubin said "Did you get a lot of reaction to that Super Bowl Commercial?"  The question was vague and of course, when the Captain America Trailer is not 'done by him'...  It is natural to think the other man is implying the Kia commercial because that actually involved the Actor participating in the commercial.  An actor is not part of a trailer, even though he is featured in it, it is cuts from the movie to tease people, but the Actors have no 'say' in the trailer.

Another thing to note, look at the interview with Samuel Jackson about his participation in the Star Wars Prequels...  He was fairly jovial about several of the discussions and joking there as well.

So the sad thing of it all, the media actually 'sensationalize' the thing.  If you look at Samuel Jackson's Twitter - Nothing is really said about it.  And what I think people need to take away from this is to watch the video.  I watched it a few times and admit, I laughed.  More so how Jackson gave Rubin a hard time about it, but again...  Jackson is like Robin Williams in a way...  When you give him something to 'go with'...  It's like opening a flood gates, and Samuel Jackson is often seen doing the 'angry man', but he does do silly and probably tries to do it when he can so people don't treat him like all he does is rage.
