QOTD: Is there an actor/actress that will automatically make you watch all their films or shows? For me Samuel Jackson is a favorite. His body of work is so extensive and I think he doesn't get the credit he deserves. He has played some of my favorite roles and I will watch anything that he is in. He always delivers. I was excited to receive this biography based on his life and acting career. Thanks to @hachettebooks @hachettego for the gifted copy. I've already been skimming through some of the stories and I am intrigued. Jackson's unique personality, wisdom and no nonsense attitude are unmatched. I can't wait to learn more about who he is behind the scenes. 💥SYNOPSIS💥 Samuel L. Jackson’s embodiment of cool isn’t just inspirational—it’s important. Bad Motherfucker lays out how his attitude intersects with his identity as a Black man, why being cool matters in the modern world, and how Jackson can guide us through the current cultural moment in which everyone is losing their cool. Edwards details Jackson’s fascinating personal history, from stuttering bookworm to gunrunning revolutionary to freebasing addict to A-list movie star. Drawing on original reporting and interviews, the book explores not only the major events of Jackson’s life but also his obsessions: golf, kung fu movies, profanity. Bad Motherfucker features a delectable filmography of Jackson’s movies—140 and counting!—and also includes new movie posters for many of Jackson’s greatest roles, reimagined by dozens of gifted artists and designers. The book provides a must-read road map through the vast territory of his on-screen career and more: a vivid portrait of Samuel L. Jackson’s essential self, as well as practical instructions, by example, for how to live and work and be. #BadMotherf*cker #SamuelJackson #HachetteGo #bookstagram #books #bookish #bookstagrammer #TBR #reading #bookrecommendation #biography #bookworm #nonfiction #booksbooksbooks #booksandart #booksandmurals #bookphotos #bibliophile #booklover #Blackactors #Hollywood #explore #literature #readersofinstagram #bookfeature #actors #behindthescenes #read #HBSocialClub #Brooklyn (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYFXhtdrsqo/?utm_medium=tumblr
