The Rock is Back...and Ready 2 RAZZ?!?!?

Movies based on video games (see ALONE IN THE DARK) tend to be dorky and dim-witted. When they star The Rock, it's almost like shooting fish-in-a-barrel. Join our discussion and let us know: Are we putting ourselves between The Rock and a hard place by predicting DOOM is doomed to REEK??

So, I was at the Monday Night Football game a few weeks ago (Denver vs. Kansas City). A host on the field was giving the crowd instructions on a few crowd stunts we were going to do when the game started, and the broadcast was live. The person on the field told the crowd that a "national celebrity," who was not identified, would come out on the field, and with the celebrity, everyone would chant, "A R E   Y O U  R E A D Y ? !!!!!!"

The telecast started, and who came out? The Rock!? We were all saying, "Oh? Is he going to introduce the celebrity?"

A decidedly disappointing start to the proceedings. Fortunately, Denver whipped up on the Chiefs and all ended well.

With a filmography that includes Be Cool, Walking Tall (can anyone think of a film that needed to be remade even less?) The Rundown and The Scorpion King, It appears to me that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (how pathetic is it that I know his real name?) is already well into the C-list portion of his career.

The bad news is that by my count, he is either already involved in the production of, or contracted for roles in, 7 more films that will appear by the end of next year. I personally see a Razzie worthy career in the building that could rival Sylvestor Stallone.

Originally posted by JoeBacon I'm just waiting for The Rock to emulate Hulk Hogan and make a string of "C" pictures with a bunch of has-been TV actors co-starring...

From what I've noticed, there seems to be a lot of pro-wreslters going to movies these days. Like Paul Levesque (Triple H) in Blade Trinity and Diamond Dallas Page in Devil's Rejects.

What's next? Washed up ex-rock stars making cameos?

It's funny because WWE wrestling isn't fun to watch anymore, the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin were the two best trash talkers in the WWE and now they're both gone, wrestling isn't as fun anymore.

Yes, Hollywood wouldn't be able to resist his Latino HEEET!!!!

May he rest in peace and best wishes to his family.

hey, personaly i dont think the rocks movies are all that bad (for action
movies), now granted they may not be the type of movies that chance
your way of thinking in life, but then again its no where near as bad as
some of the other trash out there,(trust me i know i work at a video
store), personally i think he just needs time to mature, which will only
come with time, i mean come on...what was the last oscar arnold won??
lets face it, the film industry has and most likely never will validate
characters and movies that are built around people with the rocks build.
arnold, sly, burt renolds, come one. the list goes on and one, the "movie
critic" industry is ran by people who were dorks in highschool who have
an axe to grind. ....you know its true!

im sorry, it was my first post. i should have spell checked. .....and as for
working at a video store...well i dlike working ata video store, it gives me
the free time of day to do other things like ...mmm, run another business.
so ...hmmm, i appreiciate your smart little remark and cheep cut down ,
but i think that just proves my point, dork!!!
