Two Words For This MyBrownBaby Weekend: Idris. Elba.
Bow your heads for a moment of silence.
Uh huh, yeah. Now we can proceed.
Please believe, I'm making it my business to hit the movie theater today to see The Takers, the new flick starring T.I., Michael Ealy, Chris Brown, and my man, Idris Elba.
Uh huh, I said it—yes I did. My man, Idris. I ain't skerd. Nick knows. Oh hell yes, he knows.
I mean, I love my husband and my babies and this life we've built together and whatnot, but Idris makes me want to do things. Naughty things. Things that would make you want to go grab a pad and take notes...
Yes, I understand that these things could break up my happy home. But Nick would understand, just like I'd go on ahead and kiss him on the cheek and bid him a fond adieu if Beyonce or Kerry Washington and them came knocking on our door talmbout, "Look here, I'm just crazy for me some Nick and he's leaving you not now, but right now. We'll send the babies some checks."
Some things you just don't get in the way of.
I digress.
Where was I?
Oh, right. I'm going to see The Takers today because dammit, my man Idris Elba is in it. Delivering his lines with his natural British cockney and running all across the big screen in fine linens and toting guns, showing off all that chocolate goodness.
It ain't right, I tell you.
Which is precisely why I'll be front and center on opening weekend.
I hear you....Stringer Bell what you talkin about? A huge fan since "The Wire" I was trying to find a midnight showing for me so I can sneak out when the kids get to asleep.
I'm with you! Ever since the Wire I've been drooling over him. Saw him once at the airport in Atlanta, something out of a movie he leaned his head back to take a sip of water out of a bottle and OMG it was like slow motion I couldn't stop looking, almost ran into somebody!
I have to totally agree! It's something about that accent that always has me in a trance. That man can have a movie where he's just reading the most boring book ever and I would still watch just to hear him! Lol!
Idris is the sh--! I was even in love with his character on The Office! I am torn, though, about supporting this movie because Chris Brown makes me ill. What to DO?
Maybe I oughta go get my notebook and you can tell me what you and what's-his-name would do. Whisper it in my ear. Hope you enjoy he movie, darling. You talkin' much smack.
We might have to fight because he belongs to me. Can't wait to see him on the screen either. He may as well make a movie starring just him. Great post for my Friday!
Girl you ain't said nothin', but a word. But since I am a grown women who understands the power and lasting shelf life of the written word, I cannot divulge my truest feelings and imagined intentions with Mr. Stringer Bell, but I can at least admit that:
I can't go see it, I just can't. It's too much chocolate goodness in that movie. And don't even start me on Michael Eal.... I can't even finish typing his name. Let me go read the Bible!
