I remember that Nick Fury in the comics said that if he were a fictional comic book character and they were going to make a film of him, he would indeed want to be played by Samuel L Jackson Depending on when the comic came out, he'd have said this because Ultimate Nick Fury (Nick Fury in a different continuity, when everything is edgier but easier to access for new readers) was in fact modelled after Samuel L. Jackson. George Clooney was in the frame to play him years ago, but his agent saw the Nick Fury Max series (Nick Fury in a different continuity, when everything is edgier and you're allowed to swear because there's a mature content label on the front) where Fury phones an agency to order dozens of Asian prostitutes (http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/10-14-2007%2009;20;46AM.JPG) and decided that Fury wasn't the role for Clooney.
Did you get the "Screw You" to Terence Howard when Don Cheadle walks into the courtroom?
At the epilogue of the film, I jumped up and went "Oh shit!". Kez sat and went "What?"
