>when you can't afford Dwayne Johnson

motherfucker look like a turtle loooooooool

>>>reddit

he got old. one day, it will happen to you, too. only nobody will know what you are cooking.

a lil' raunchy R-rated #litty comedy happened

batista happened

>JOOOORJ

>upcoming
yeah 15 years ago. now he is a household name, so whats your point?
big star in 4 movies a year, seems like hes doing alright for hisself

But he can act unlike the rock

He'll be the next president of the USA, don't worry.

Did he get another cameo in The Hangover 7?

when the fuck did shane diesel become a hollywood star

LITTY

He's not that good of an actor? He's naturally charismatic but he can only play himself. Probably be better as a politician.

does he generaly do cameos? he had 3 movies release in 2017 and a tv series. seems like hes just fine

He is just legitimately an idiot. When you see him give interviews and read his twitter feed its pretty obvious.

He has picked his parts terribly and chased big buck hollywood blockbusters instead of getting parts in any films of merit.

Now he is too much of a caricature for any directors to have him in films playing anything other than himself on screen. I call it will smith syndrome.

Batista has done a way better job of breaking in to hollywood than the rock

>Probably be better as a politician.
This. Rock should start thinking about politics now. He's very charismatic and has a very dominant vibe. I can see people voting for him. Hell they made Arnold governor so he has more than a chance.

>big star
>only does big blockbusters
>net worth of over 100 million dollars
yeah he sure is an idiot. you know being an actor is a job right? there is no such thing as a film with merit, any movie is people playing dress up and pretend, no matter how hard you dont want it too. guardians of the galaxy is no better or worse then whatever black and white french movie you love

he can turn it around like Matthew mcconaughey, who was only known for chickflicks

>he is rich and famous so therefore he is intelligent
>no films or art is ever of any value because it is only pretend
wow great arguments

there is a different between being an idiot and being smart. the rock might not be a genious, but hes far from an idiot. an idiot is a person arguing at 5am on Sup Forums whether the rock is an idiot or not, such as yourself and myself

>genious
Dwayne, is that you?

Matthew proved himself as a very competent actor to break that type cast though.

Why do people not remember a Time To Kill?

He kind of took the Schwarzenegger path to Hollywood, but he skipped the part where he does some actual good movies.

As a huge fan of The Rock as a kid, I've wondered about this as a while. I remember the excitement of knowing he was going off to do movies. As a 10 year old, it sounded like the coolest thing ever.

I suspect that Dwyane treats acting the same way he treats training. It's just a muscle that can be built on by repetition and discipline. Truth is, that can only get you so far when doing something artistic. It will help you built craft, but you will always be missing the more subtle performance elements that can only come from actually contemplating the human experience and all that fruity actor shit.

I think audiences can feel this, even if it's only at a subconscious level.

>when you want someone who doesn't over-deliver his lines.

His meltdown on Twitter over Baywatch was sad to see.

Nothing, he isn't doing this shit for art. He's doing this to have millions in his banking account, so he does lowest common denominator movies that'll make him money.

Maybe he just realizes he's not a great actor and does action movies for the money? The two movies he's had been in this year have been very successful financially.

>what happened?

he met expectations completely and is in a ton of movies now

This.

Try feeding your family waiting on psuedo-smart indie flicks for beta males.

He is a complete waste of space. Thats what happened.

He made a complete ass of himself with his Baywatch shilling and is doing the same thing with Rampage, thus removing his suave charismatic facade.

DUDE JUST TURN YOUR BRAIN OFF LMAO

WHAT A GLARING DISCONNECT

>Expecting anything more
You've gotta have some perspective with these things. You don't go into a movie like Commando expecting some deep insight into the nature of greed or conflict, or the inner machinations of what drives a man to become a commando. At some point, yeah, people just want to turn their brain off an enjoy themselves for a few hours. As long as they don't do it too often, what's wrong with that?

kek

...

The guy made gazillions being one of the top 5 wrestlers of all time. Then transitioned to Hollywood where he made gazillions being in shitty movies. I'd lob off my feet to have half the life he's had.

>knowing who shane diesel is

If Rock wants to be taken serious he needs to do more roles like Faster, Snitch and Pain and Gain. Faster is unronically a good movie. Doing shit flicks like Baywatch and then having a meltdown on twitter doesn't help his image. But maybe he doesn't want to do anything else than shit movies and make tons of money, and I can understand that.

Give me the scoop, I don't have twitter

>The rundown
Movie always had a place in my heart, I thought he was moving up then he did the tooth fairy...

Bautista broke on the scene and made it obvious Rock has no actual talent when it comes to acting.

What was his role in James bond? I dont remember him at all

I Feel like I should watch more batista films after viewing this thread

Spectre, Mr Hinx.

Who's the guy on the right supposed to be?

I'm convinced that thread was created and reposted by Dwayne himself.

i'm still mad he never made a Scorpion King 2 movie

The Rock might end his career with his only "iconic" role being from Walking Tall or the Run Down. The best role he did was in The Other Guys and he dies like 20 minutes into that movie in a joke

He fucked up majorly when he went on that rant about Batista being cast in Blade Runner. Sapper Morton being Samoan was irrelevant to the storyline but he got completely hung up on not being given the part.

filenames are hard
Stop trying to make this happen, it's not going to happen

Dwayne? Don't listen to the critics man, the true fans are still pissing themselves from Baywatch

Chad Big Dave

>Dave not even getting a billing in a straight-to-dvd flick.
>Doing sloppy seconds in a "franchise"

JUST

Why am I the only one who ever points out that he looks like brainlet Wojak?

He was exposed.

Overexposure in countless movies - all of them are shit.

For a while people watched them, even knowing they're shit, only because Rock was in them, but it seems people are finally getting more and more tired of all the shit Rock is "cooking" and shoving in their mouths.

Beca McConaughey spent a decade doing shit movies and a Time to Kill was outshined by other, more memorable Samuel L. Jackson movies.

You don't have a clue what the fuck you're talking about, do you?

He couldn't keep up the humble Chad facade, and quickly became the cocky asshole many thought was simply an act during his time in the WWE.

I like some and dislike other flicks with him. Do I have to take an opinion of him and stick to it permanently or something?

There was a Scorpion King THREE?

Wait, there was a Scorpion King TWO?

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

dwaynetty never drew a dime in hollywood

>mfw all the wwe superstars from wrestling kino era are now bald

he tried doing comedy's too soon, when he had just started his action movie star path.
vin diesel also nearly made the same mistake, but only did 1 bad comedy, unlike the rock who did like 3 or 4

steroids is a hell of a drug

i think there is a 4th and 5th movie also

There was a 4

Too litty. Audience love him but cinemas hate him

>implying Fast & Furious franchise isn't unintentional bad comedy.

jebus

>Billy Zane
Immediately discarded as a shit movie.
Even Ron Perlman can't save it now

I honestly didn't think Baywatch was THAT bad. Compared to most 2016/2017 movies that came out, it was okay. The last year has just been really fucking bad for movies, especially horror movies.

the 4th one is even worse

Holy shit, that's the leftovers of the leftovers.

Moana was great.

>being a pornlet

High test=balding
As you get older some of that test converts to DHT, which makes you go bald. Most of these guys probably also used testosty boosters, which didn't help.
