    Its like that movie Coach Carter. They treated Samuel L. Jackson like he was fucking STALIN for asking them idiot kids to at least get a D- on their grades so they could play ball. The parents cussing him out and shit. I used to tutor at the church and that shit is REAL yall

    She has decided she likes this Kendrick guy. Liked the show, which, again, she did not understand a single word of, but she liked all the dancers. She likes that he invited Samuel L Jackson, who she knows from 2005's unforgettable movie Coach Carter and literally nothing else he's ever been in.

    John Carter got sabotaged by the marketing department. It's a solid film. Should have been called "John Carter of Mars", though. I managed a local theater during its release & I had customers who thought it was a sports film ala "Coach Carter" based on its name.

    a trend from the early-mid 2000s i miss is that ads for anything even slightly male-adjacent will have nu metal playing in the background even if the thing itself doesn't call for it. like a commercial for the movie Coach Carter had fuckin nonpoint playing during it

    I remember watching Coach Carter and the ongoing question was "What is your biggest fear?" I was hoping the answer would be "You!" And then Carter laughs, then goes full villain and turns into a giant dragon and the rest of the movie is the basketball team trying to save the school from him.

    Coach Carter is a decent but flawed sports film that goes a little deeper beyond it. The formulaic story, writing, and subplot is what hinders the film, but the themes, performances including Samuel L. Jackson, basketball scenes, the direction, and heart is what carries the film to be decent. 7/10.
