  10. yes, because he almost had a non-forced TV interview that almost came across as sincere, i mean, if only he'd left out his attempts at discrediting SLJ as a "role model" simply because of characters he plays that, by all means, WERE NOT even created by SLJ; so he is holding no bearing on whether he should consider questioning his role in playing them, because to him they are simply characters, like in a book... it's a story. just because you see it acted upon on screen, on set, doesn't mean anything about what SLJ actually thinks about anyone or anything in society. well it might, but the interview barely touches on that. he even says "the other character gets DISTRACTED, hence he dies, while Jules lives." a cautionary tale, which with, if you look past the violence, you can actually see it's really trying to say that "kid's definitely maybe shouldn't be criminals. they'll die over something petty, and the only ones who won't are once who are ready to learn anyway, so they shouldn't endow themselves with that kind of work to begin with. after all, you'll only come to realize that you're only in control because your not distracted, and if you weren't distracted, you can do much better then be a hitman. ie, crime doesn't pay, intelligence does." that's what he saw in the character. doesn't mean that's necessarily how the character was written, but that's what HE saw and what he LIKED; and it had nothing to do with the violence in the movie, why he took the role. but the damn journalist is pushing the issue as if he cares about the violence. he doesn't, and it's not his place to be a spokesperson for or against it. k, long enough comment. seriously, journalism like this is is nothing but a piss off.
