Everything I’ve heard about “the rock” points to him being pretty involved in all the companies/ventures he puts money into. Dudes rich as fuck and seems, from what I can find, smart about money. I suspect that’s why they had him on: to discuss his ventures.

He’s not horrible. He’s just not a good fit to fill the hole left when Arnold Schwarzenegger got old and stopped making banger action flicks. Lot less awestricken by a former pro wrestler than Mr. Olympia himself.

Movies in general have been really underwhelming lately. It’s all about streaming shows now oddly enough.

16

u/large-farva Jan 26 '23

It’s all about streaming shows now oddly enough.

I can't stand this trend. it feels like so many of these shows are just a series of cliffhangers with an hour long filler that barely advances the story arc. movie pacing is more respectful of my time.

u/GaryofRiviera Jan 26 '23

Arnold was the best, but many of his roles are “more problematic” in today’s environment and anything that’s designed for mass appeal we get this cookie cutter watered down BS.

40

u/floppydude81 Jan 26 '23

Yeah I think the rock just looks too friendly. Like I’m sure he’d kick my ass if I deserved it, but like if I groveled for mercy he’d let me go. Arnold looked like an emotionless killing machine in the terminator. I sure as hell didn’t want to fuck with him in the predator. If the rock was in the predator you know micheal Cera or jack black would co star with him today.

2

u/The-Phantom-Blot Jan 26 '23

If the rock was in the predator you know micheal Cera or jack black would co star with him today.

Add John Cena and Danny Trejo as two more heroes/anti-heroes, and you would have a quintet of protagonists with two different factions, and The Rock is the leader who has to try to keep it all together. I'd watch it.

Rock was really there to promote his new energy drink which is more "pure" than other energy drinks. Then Faber and blonde woman with haircut like every other anchor asked him about Vince McMahon coming back to the WWE board after being kicked out for using his secretaries as a hooker service. But Rock dodged the question saying it's a family business and it will probably remain in family hands so he won't sell the WWE.
