Lmao. Get a load of this guy.
Donny, you're out of your element!
You right. My element is not "pretending shitty things are good for attention".
right, it's pretending uninformed milquetoast opinions about movies are objectively correct
Hold up, you need to be properly informed in order to think The Rock is "good"?

You're trying too hard to be contrarian again. This is next level spectral adolescent behavior, even for you.
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 you
I mean, you're definitely neuro spicy. Please refer to Mickey's breakdown of RM's big 'tistic 5.

Also, that's not irony.

Also, you're still trying too hard.

And yes, finally, please give yourself an uppercut.

I score this round 9 - 10 in favor of LV. Ello, keep your gloves up or the ref may have to stop the fight.

This coming from the constantly rude/hostile guy who demonstrates no understanding of basic social etiquette when conversing with others?

I agree with LV about his charisma as a performer, but the amount of awful bullshit in his filmography is so overwhelming, I don't blame anyone for forgetting the good stuff he was in

You do the same while dismissing the opinions of others! Now quit being a hypocritical little bitch.

I'm just saying you might want to think about whether coming off one shade short of Jammer is really how you want to present yourself

The Rock sucks hard. There was maybe a moment whrn he surprised everyone with some acting chops, but his career is awful and he is just insufferable. Everything he did with Black Adam (besides the movie being awful) is embarrassing.

Also the dude is going to do a remake of Big Trouble In Little China.

Fuuuuck you Dwayne.

I mean his name is Dwayne.....

No I don’t think so, just his popularity in WWE seems to have overlapped with some of the worst McMahon behavior.

Hasn’t there been some buzz about him and P Diddy?

Nah bro, you don't understand. This take is uninformed and milquetoast.

I am so out of practice that I don’t even know what a good opening is anymore. I also don’t know what the vibe is with this movie. Has Harrison Ford been on the interview circuit saying that he doesn’t even fucking know what color his Hulk is?

If it has Ford in it, it's probably going to bomb.
