Black Snake ha ha

A rare display of wit in the Arts pages of the Times from A.O. Scott:

Really, though, the character, played with his usual fearsome wit by Samuel L. Jackson, is a tried-and-true Hollywood stock figure: the selfless, spiritually minded African-American who seems to have been put on the earth to help white people work out their self-esteem issues. No doubt “Black Snake Moan” is a provocative title, but a more accurate one might be “Chaining Miss Daisy to the Radiator in Her Underwear.”

Haven't seen the movie, but I'm planning to. So I don't know if I agree with Scott's assessment. But ya gotta give a good line its due....
