For anyone unaware of Samuel L Jackson as bringing a character to the character in his movies, see the (NSFW) video below. There are a lot of actors who do similar, but Jackson is maybe the best and most versatile among them. Not sure he is top tier among Hollywood actors, but he's got a great niche, and has become a cultural icon IMO.

Let me just add, he was also in Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing (1989), a movie that absolutely everyone should see. But it’s not in the clip above because he plays a DJ (Mister Señor Love Daddy) and doesn’t say MF.

likewise, in "A Time To Kill" (1996) where he plays a good role, but does not say MF. That one is just an "ok" movie but it has an incredible cast: Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey, Oliver Platt, Donald Sutherland, Ashley Judd, Kiefer Sutherland and more.

He’s also brilliant in True Romance.

IMDB has him at #42, but I'll be honest, I don't have much appreciation for their top 50 list. I do think he rates as top tier, though, by my arbitrary judgement.

If he had to atone by planting a tree each time he uttered an expletive, I have no doubt he'd have replanted the entire Amazon forest by now. He's great.

YouTube wants me to sign in to watch it because it might be inappropriate for me

It probably should be. I mentioned it's NSFW. His Quentin Tarantino movies were graphic and violent.

I don't agree with making you sign in either. Here's a mirror: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=c0LBi1MHoaU

The combination of mpv and yt-dlp lets you watch it without signing in. Not sure how they achieve that though.

YouTube's CDN doesn't enforce authentication, only the UI, account backends, etc do. So if you can determine the URL(s) for retrieving the video from their CDN, you can watch it without auth.

Apparently, youtube-dl can't do this anymore (assuming it ever did), since trying to download an age-gated (which was my strat) video fails where it used to succeed.

It still works in yt-dlp though.
