Back from the dead, ready for some Stringer

Idris Elba: The face rings a Bell (Screen Gems)

I've been out of action, in bed with a brutal cold/flu thing, sustained by an IV of NBA League Pass. I've also been chain watching past seasons of The Wire, which not only continues to blow me away with its political realism but has me wanting to see This Christmas.

Why This Christmas? Two words: Stringer Bell. He's the righthand man to Avon Barksdale's drug kingpin in The Wire, played by the icy cool Idris Elba. Elba is in This Christmas, and I dig him. So a ho-ho-ho I go. BTW, the next season of The Wire, which starts in January, focuses on the decline of the newspaper business. I will watch with tear-stained eyes.
