Mace Windu digs Shreveport-Bossier

[Bob]

seriously, Samuel L. Jackson was on the Late Show with David Letterman, to promote his movie "Black Snake Moan", but apparently spent a good bit of his time talking about the Shreveport-Bossier Area, which he was here recently while filming another movie "The Cleaner".

It's supposed to air this Friday.

They where few and far between in that movie. He is a good actor and did a real good job in Star Wars. Glad to see he liked Shreveport. He needs to learn to use that light saber.

No. If you watch Espisode 1 like I did last night, you may have noticed that right after the "control ship" was distroyed, they pictured another black Jedi flying a fighter craft. There are lots of Black Jedi's I'm sure. Do you think Lucas would be a racist? In fact, there are all colors of Jedi which come in all sorts of species from around the gallaxy.

Regardless, I think Jackson is a great actor. I first saw him in a small role as a robber on Eddie Murphy's movie "Coming to America". By the way, Jackson is supposed to be on the Tonight Show this Friday (I think) and he is rumored to talk a lot about Shreveport and how much he liked it while filming his latest movie. I think it is great that someone would say something postive about our area on national TV for a change. This Katrina fiasco has not made us look very good in the public eye.

North LA is not South LA and people from out of state think we are like right next door and the culture and landscape as we all know is very different. Now if Shreveport/Bossier could be a break away state well not such a good idea but still a idea !

sure why not North LA and South LA , Louisiana Yankees
I'd rather that, than the idea i've heard floated around before about seceding to Texas. Nothing against Texas, but I prefer my Louisiana heritage, for all it's worth. Where else you gonna find a Santa hat wearin' Green Frog playin' the blues ??

edit: not to diss New Orleans. I like it plenty, and hope things can improve 'down yonder'. But I have always felt there is definitely a big difference between North LA and South LA, not to mention they talk funny down there

I haven't found any hard evidence, but I heard Kevin Costner lives in Bossier City. I was working at the place where they held the crew party following the completion of The Guardian and one of the movie crew members told me that he moved here years ago because it was so peaceful here.
