I remember that, but I'm still not convinced that his ego will allow for him to share a movie with Vin.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Yeah they set it up at the end of the last onetommy wrote:LoathedVermin72 wrote:The final Fast & Furious will probably give him some decent juice again.
Is it confirmed that he's in it? I thought they were going to do another bad spinoff for him because he can't get along well with Vin.

He's got tons of potential for a bunch of sequels that middle aged white women will swoon over. The Other Guys 8, Moana live action, Jumanji 3-11, The young Rock on NBC. Sorry guys, he's going to be around for a while.

Haha no. That just seemed like one of those franchises that would do a bunch of shitty sequels. Did he die?Jorge wrote:Uh did you watch The Other Guys? I don't think he's gonna be in the sequel to that one

The Rock is good. Too many bad projects lately but when he dials in (Pain & Gain, Fast Five), he's got juice.

He was talented and hardworking but seems content churning out slop and playing the same tired character while he shills his liquor brand or whatever. It worked for a long time, but it seems that the formula is dead.

Hold up, you need to be properly informed in order to think The Rock is "good"?LoathedVermin72 wrote:right, it's pretending uninformed milquetoast opinions about movies are objectively correctEllo Sailor wrote:You right.

You're trying too hard to be contrarian again. This is next level spectral adolescent behavior, even for you.

Hanging with the Rock would be like stepping into an infomercial. I bet he's insufferable.tragabigzanda wrote:Somewhere we had a thread, or maybe just a discussion, about celebrities that are probably a good hang and I believe I put the Rock at the top of my list. His charisma is both incredibly powerful yet never imposing.

Re: Box office talk!
Denying his charisma on screen is just foolish, doing so is the contrarian take. Most of the world outside the Gen X RM bubble does not share a lot of the opinions you seem to think are just understood as correct, which is ironic considering how much you like to throw around neurodivergence as an insult to people who disagree with youEllo Sailor wrote:Hold up, you need to be properly informed in order to think The Rock is "good"?LoathedVermin72 wrote:right, it's pretending uninformed milquetoast opinions about movies are objectively correctEllo Sailor wrote:You right.
