So much for NaNoWriMo.

One of these days I'll get it done, but it was not to be this year. I had even sworn off blogging for the month (and continued the hiatus even after the Novel writing had ceased). To be sure, I'll let you all know when that bestseller is written.

What happened instead in November? Well, among other things, I spent a mint on my car, saw the latest Harry Potter with the missus, bought a new laptop on Black Friday, and ended the month receiving the sad news of my one remaining uncle passing away. The month definitely had its ups and downs.

Tomorrow gives us the final Sam Jackson Quote for the year and the start of a brand new month (not to mention the holiday season). I'll be a busy little bunny, but I'll try and keep you folks updated and entertained (wherever both are possible at once).

Samuel L. Jackson Quote of the Month: November 2010

Posted on 05:46 by naryne
The way Hollywood works is this: An actor scores a scene-stealing role in one movie, then they are given some larger supporting roles for which they are also lauded, and then finally they are given a high profile costarring role opposite a big star. Sometimes this actor is not a fresh new face but instead is an old hand that has finally broken through after decades in the business.

That was the way for Eugene Levy after he hit it big with American Pie in 1999. After five years of bigger and bigger roles (in largely forgettable films), he finally got a starring role in The Man, which has him playing the geeky Andy Findler opposite Jackson's Agent Vann. Personally, I would have hoped that one of the greats from SCTV would have gotten better than yet another mismatched buddy cop comedy, but at least it got him a paycheck (and the chance to work opposite Sam, of course):

Andy Fidler: "I haven't met anyone that I didn't become friends with... eventually."

Special Agent Derrick Vann: "Really? Because I haven't met anyone who's ass I didn't kick... eventually."

And with one month to go, I promise to showcase a Sam Jackson film in December that I actually liked.
