Samuel L. Jackson on my motherfucking phone
WTF?!
I just answered my home phone, ringing from an unknown caller.
"Matthew"
"Hello..."
"This is Samuel L. Jackson and I want to tell you about my new movie..."
It went on for about two minutes, mentioned that I have glasses and I dork around on the web and I spend all my time on "internet chat rooms" and that I should ride my bike down to my local theater and see Snakes on a Plane on August 14th.
It sure sounded like a recording but my god is that freaky. It totally and completely sounded like the real Samuel L. Jackson too.
How in the fuck did that just happen? A blogger-directed campaign by the film company? How in the fuck did they get my unlisted phone number? And my name was right? and the glasses? bike riding? What the flying fuck?
update: fucking andy baio did it, using this ingenious little app. Freaky as shit, but I just passed it on to Andre.

Sorry about that, it was just too good to resist. Here you go.
Holy shit, this is completely hilarious! I can't wait to send one to few SOAP-obsessed fans.
Awesome. I'm Snaking people left and right.
I just did this to my brother in law
i might just do it to myself so i can hear his voice.
i came out of a meeting, and i had four messages on my phone. i thought "oh shit! something's really wrong!" so i immediately checked messages, despite the fact my battery was dying.
Sam Jackson. On my motherfucking phone.
Dude, Sam Jackson mothafuckin' hates me. I get to the "who it's for" and then I am left hangin'. Oh I am so sad.
I love you, Andy Baio!
Awesome. I love that you got this at the perfect time. If you had been like Anil and gotten four, it wouldn't have been as good. Well played, Andy.
Awesome.
Awesome... Snakes On A Plane has been a running joke around the office. Now everyone around here is going to have Samuel giving them a call.
So, alison tried it on me, and all I got was 15 seconds of silence. Then I tried it on my brother and he got the same thing.
Methinks the Interweb has broken its toy.
Yeah...totally great. I freaked Chris out. ;)
For more phone fun, I’ve set up FlashGroups for SMS for Snakes:
Send: SOAP
to: 66937 (MOZES)
and it will send you information to subscribe. I’ll be sending out the flash group information to all subscribers a couple of days before the premiere.
I'm hoping for the big SMS frenzy the day of...
