Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Takers!! The Idris Elba movie!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thank you.
You kids and your pop culture references.
Also, Idris, call me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT IS THIS MOVIE?
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT IT! We saw the trailer before The Losers, I think. Or maybe it was Kick-Ass. But I think it may have been The Losers because, well, it has a third of the Losers in it.

ita,
here's the trailer:
I just watched it and while I have seen almost every modern heist movie - good and bad - I have very little interest in this one. When it show up on FX next year I guess I'll watch it.

Oh! I saw a trailer for that... jeez, maybe before Surrogates? So at least 9 months ago, if not longer. Which seems like a bad sign. I assumed that had come and gone by now.

How was Surrogates, Strega? It's in my queueueueue because I like Bruce Willis and things blowing up. Also, clones.

It was pretty terrible. It had the strong stench of studio meddling, because you could sort of see places where it might have been interesting once upon a time.
And there's not even much blowing up. I remember there being one fun action scene. And it was fun, but not worth the movie.
Not recommended.

Yeah, I didn't hear very good things, but I still hoped for the best. Thanks.

So, apparently a Flash movie has been greenlit.
Who should play him?
I like the Michael Rosenbaum suggestion, but I understand it's imaginatively bankrupt in more than one way, and I just miss Lex.
