I wonder if they think The Rock can actually still play a 30 year old MMA fighter in his prime or if half the movie is gonna have him with terrible CG de-aging applied.

Men is really not good, and I’m not a huge fan of Ex Machina either, but I can’t get too upset at the writer/ghost director of Dredd.

I found it incredibly dull and free of his usual panache until the final sequence, which I'll admit was a real memorable bit. But that's it. That's literally all that worked for me in the film, the rest of it was warmed over thriller clichés.

Wonder if the Never Lose A Fight clause is still in The Rock's contract. I guess you could still do a dramatic story of a fighter who only wins at greater and greater cost.

The tweet says he struggles with winning, maybe that means winning so much makes him struggle with, I dunno, staying motivated. Like a roidy One Punch Man.

Yeah your career of trying to be the most bland playing it safe actor in existence and maybe becoming president even though you have no strong beliefs is waning a bit so now you are trying to go the indie route. Not actually taking any risks though, just going with the company that have already had hit after hit.

We’re all so old now that 2008 probably feels like yesterday, but he could do a current day roided up Alpha Male™ version of The Wrestler. That feels beneath Benny Safdie, though. I haven’t watched a lot of The Rock’s movies, but I thought he was legit great in Pain & Gain. If this has a dark humor bent I think he could do pretty well.

A24 and Hideo Kojima are making a Death Stranding movie. https://shop.a24films.com/products/a24-x-kojima-productions-death-stranding-logo-tee They are already selling a shirt. I think it would be funny if they didn't cast Norman Reedus but kept everyone else.

People are comparing Civil War to the DMZ comic, but it’s giving me Russel T Davies’ Years and Years vibes in its “progressive British guy has an extremely surface level understanding of US politics” depiction.

Chairman Capone posted:People are comparing Civil War to the DMZ comic, but it’s giving me Russel T Davies’ Years and Years vibes in its “progressive British guy has an extremely surface level understanding of US politics” depiction. Yeah, having watched the trailer, I'm guessing Nick Offerman is probably a Trump-like authoritarian president in control of the military, without Garland realizing that there was a lot of civilian and state level support for him, and the Western Alliance of CA and TX are revolting due to the Electoral College, because that's literally the only thing they have in common with those each other.

From what I understand this movie is supposed to cover Kerr's heyday as an MMA fighter, which took place in his early to mid-30s. I'm sure there will be some portion of the movie that happens when he's older and washed up though.

The first time I heard about this movie was when Civil War was trending on twitter, which ended up being about the movie and not literally anything else more interesting. Someone tweeted that it could end up being the most important movie of our age or something, so I figured it was some chud movie at first.

Sir Kodiak posted:That reporting turned out to be false. The movie it was about (Hobbs & Shaw) had The Rock lose multiple fights to the villain. I think that was like a game of telephone where there was a bit of truth to it and then the story morphed into something that wasn't true. I'm pretty sure what did actually happen was that he specifically wanted Hobbs to be on equal footing with Vin Diesel's Dom in the F&F movies. It was a specific issue that he and Diesel had that was a part of that relationship becoming a problem, not a general clause that he put into every contract.
