    You mean Idris Elba isn’t good casting for a character described as a “honky mufuh” with “bombardier blue” eyes?

    I like watching Idris but he ain’t no Roland Deschain.

      The color of Idris Elba’s skin and eyes had absolutely fuck all to do with why that movie was fucking awful.

        I could have gotten over the minor disparity because they needed a good actor, but that script was a completely butchered hack job. Anyone who made decisions on that movie should be excised from the entertainment industry.

        Ha ha. The casting was the least of the movie’s issues. I like watching Elba and I think Matthew McConaughey was phenomenal casting for the Man in Black.
