@Jordan77 if it helps, I was being selective and mostly kidding.

@Jordan77 Well I didn’t post the entire conversation we had, just some points that came to mind. I agree that Foxx has given some good performances but it doesn’t deny the fact that I find it difficult to see him in the role.

If all Anthony can think about is Stealth and Due Date, I think he’s being rather selective. I have no qualms about Jamie Foxx doing this role. He’s had a pretty diverse career, with some decent performances. And he’s certainly been in other serious fare than Ray, such that there should be no doubt he can pull it off. I think of the characters in Collateral, Miami Vice, Ali, Law Abiding Citizen, Jarhead, The Kingdom. Whatever one may think of the movies themselves, the point is they weren’t comedic in nature and Foxx did fine in them. I think it’s mischaracterizing his career or not being all that familiar with it to suggest that unless it’s a comic relief villain, he’s going to struggle with it.

then who was that during the credit scene? Connor’s other half? guess the speculation of it being electro is out the window

Agreed. When I heard the news I pictured him as MotherFucker Jones, (horrible bosses), with an extension cord or something.

I feel like it will either be good or horrendous. No in between.
