Mister Antithesis

Welcome to the palindrome.

So, the film The Obsession? What a missed opportunity. First of all, they cast the one white woman that no black man wants to sleep with. Second of all, come on, Idris Elba could do anything.

That said, I am currently working on a “reimagining” of this film’s premise, with some important improvements. In my version, updated for 2010, Idris Elba’s best friend is a really cool white guy who watched all of The Wire and may have a blog. Unfortunately, their fine bromance is spoiled by this wife.

Working title: Able Was I Ere I Saw Elba. Keep your fingers crossed!
