:patrice: i'm 34 years old, i've seen just about every Denzel Washington flick, even For Queen and Country

but I just saw Beasts of No Nation and damn :whoo:

I don't think Denzel could pull this off, Idris effortlessly blends in with these people like it's nothing, you almost forget he is an A-list hollywood actor

:jbhmm:
Why they can't both be A list actors?
Why u can't compare him to Brad Pitt or somebody else?
Ol there's only room for one lookin ass :mjpls:

bruh no need to pull that card, just a harmless question about acting talent :beli:

with that said, i think idris could play alonzo in training day, not sure denzel (nor brad pitt) could play a convincing african warlord :manny:

no need to remind me of denzels greatness man, but idris elba is not out here giving direct to DVD/SyFy channel performances either

but you cats need to watch BEASTS OF NO NATION on netflix though...this is some brilliant acting

I plan on watching it, I think Elba is great, but he needs to multiple classics before we put him in the same sentence as Denzel

and why you trying to compare two nikkas? :martin:

:what: again, he's playing AN. AFRICAN. WARLORD.

i'm comparing him to arguably the greatest black leading male actor in hollywood history, this is actually a compliment to his abilities, not some slick self hating racist shyt.

what in the fukk is wrong with you nikkas!?
