The New York Times’ film critic A.O. Scott gave the new Marvel superhero extravaganza The Avengers a lukewarm review, and Samuel L. Jackson, one of the film’s stars, is lashing out. Jackson took to Twitter recently and suggested Scott ought to get another job. The Huffington Post reports:

The actor, who plays Nick Fury in the Marvel universe, took to Twitter on Thursday to call for venerable Times critic A.O. Scott’s job.
