Thank god for young minds. Eben, you obviously enjoyed Shaft more than I did. But I have a problem with this whole black masculine thing. And the stony image of Richard Roundtree adequately satisfied this need. It's like Shaft on steroids or Shaft in some hyper-violent video game like Street Fighter.
Shaft is so fond of.
All the things you say you don't like about Shaft, I wear them like a badge. That's fine with me. He probably spanks his wife. Now back to the movie. Samuel Jackson is three times as hard as Richard Roundtree.
