Ha! He's broached the forcefield between his movies and the rest of the world, and there's no going back. Also, no chance I'll watch the movies now. That guy is poison to me.
We'd be dead. Can't get paid if you're dead.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That guy is poison to me.
He is the thinking person's kryptonite, for realz.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Idris Elba would have been PERFECT. I am displeased.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I'm trying to think who could possibly be worse casting for that role. I'm drawing a blank.
Cuba Gooding?
Chris Tucker?
No. Still not as wrong-headed.
This has got to be a publicity stunt...or else, that guy really has made a deal with the devil.
Or Rob Cohen did and the devil just came collecting.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
(Hardison) Seriously?(/Hardison) Kind of like choosing between me and Bonnie Franklin isn't it? C'mon, we're both Irish-American women...

Now tagless for your comfort.
Is Let Me In worth watching if I loved Let the Right One In?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What if I didn't?

Maybe?
As Jilli pointed out, Let Me In is plotted more tightly. No trips to the country for the boy to visit his dad.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Don't bother anyway...it wasn't good. Somber and ponderous and no fun.
Erika, normally I love you. But me and two other people...I don't know who, but I know there aren't many...are going to stand over here in the "Actually, I liked Superman Returns" corner and frown disapprovingly.
I don't know who Idris Elba is, and I know this isn't much, but Tyler Perry wasn't bad for his four lines in Star Trek the Star Trek. For what that's worth.
