Oh, I must've jumped into the wrong multiverse this morning. Isn't this the one where Mel Gibson teams up with Danny Glover?

Yep.

I was actually thinking of Die Hard with a Vengeance. I was going to write Samuel Jackson, but decided to put Danny Glover instead for some reason. What a team up that would be, right?

Die Hard 3 was originally written to be a Lethal Weapon movie and got turned into a Die Hard movie at some point. If you think of it that way, I'm happy with Samuel L. Jackson's energy in the role. Die Hard 3 is one of my favourite movies of all time though.
