I'll give some a try. Thanks all for the input. It seems I was being excessively negative about the series.

The newest movie I think from 2025 maybe

I want to see The Rock in a remake of The Rock.

Didn't they literally go into space?

He is in danger, or rather his career is in danger, if he voices his political opinion, no matter what direction he takes.

That doesn't disprove the second option mind you. But wanting to be left the fuck alone in the current hellscape that is american politics doesn't make you a fascist. It at most makes him a coward.

Saying you dont like woke culture is very indicative. Very understandable not to want to talk about politics, but, with orange Mussolini in charge you would want no confusion where you stand unless you support him.

The Rock rocks the Rock rocking out in theatres near your rockin' community.

Yes.

In a car.

Guessing 3 of them might be The Rundown, Jumanji, Walking Tall, and im not sure.... Maybe the one is Jumanji 2?

Haven't seen anything with him in it recently. Although I did watch Red One

And his head got so big he practically had to have the DCEU written around him. He refused to be a villain in the Shazam movie and demanded his own Black Adam film where he's more of an anti-hero instead of straight up bad guy who defeats the bad guy

I think one is Journey to the Center of the Earth?

So much for "keeping politics to myself"

I know there are well-known conservative Hollywood types, but it seems most in that crowd lean left. They're all pretty rich. I've also done fundraising in solid blue areas where you had to walk 5 minutes down someone's driveway to knock on the door of their mansion.

So no, it's not "human nature". That's an excuse the greedier ones us to justify their selfishness.

Yes and where does one to go to become "cooked", just so I know how not to end up there of course.

I only wish other former wrestlers like Bautista were offered more roles

Bautista's getting a ton of roles. Some of his movies have been pretty good.

I of course am the kind of weirdo who actually liked In the Lost Lands.

If he said something in that ballpark, it's stupid either way. Especially if he broke that anyway because he had to be concerned about "woke culture".

I guess I'd need more context, but The Rock isn't exactly someone I feel is being constantly prodded on politics, at least from interviews he chooses to take.

Someone who's better with money than me could probably retire on a well-invested $800k in my country.

I don't mean retire at retirement age when you get the national pension too. I mean retire at any age and withdraw a sensible amount so that it keeps growing.

There were so many memes about them doing it in the future that it was basically fan service at that point lol

The more outspoken ones are left leaning. Which honestly doesn't say much these days. The right leaning ones not being directly paid off know that Trump II (hell, even Trump I) ain't good PR. The ones left leaning probably need to defy their PR to speak out to begin with.

Overall, being rich means the system works for you, which tends to boost nationalism. Nationalism without actually giving back to your country is a surefire road to fascism. It's just too easy by that point to isolate and not create empathy in that scenario (the best preventative measure to fascism, and most kinds of prejudice in general).

Even 8k for me would help me get out of my current gutter. 80k would be life changing money, even if I still would need to keep job searching.

Why add the first one that doesn't fit? The shirts are almost identical on the other three, just ppst those and have it make sense.

In both of my examples, I can think of instances where a person is or is likely left leaning. Granted those small populations, but they're more sizable than you'd think. Some of us found people willing to write a $10,000 check on a whim (I was not that lucky). These people were very much not Republicans. Saying something is due to "human nature" means pretty everybody does it. If anything, of the groups I'm talking about, I'd say far more are quiet than loud. They vote and donate Democrat but don't necessarily make it their entire personality.

I don't know about nationalism being boosted by being rich. If anything, these people have more interest in global investments and wider view of the world than people without a direct reason to be so. I think that might make some of them more realistic about nationalism. I also see plenty of it among those much less fortunate - it's emotional thing heavily inculcated by wider society. Questioning is still largely socially unacceptable.

It would be awesome if he decided one day he wanted to be taken seriously as an actor and broke out of these typecast roles ala Tom Hanks

I feel like professional entertainers (who aren't hateful bigots) can have a valid point about dislike 'woke culture', that's completely separate from "politics".

The culture wars are basically integral to entertainment these days. Media companies are using rage bait to promote their movies.

It's easy for us anons to throw salt when we can just disengage as our mental health requires.

I don't know actually if The Rock is a facsist, but barring real evidence I think you're watering down the term here.

Confused meatball is a strange basis for a brand.

roided up meatball, he the ellen degeneres of movie stars. rock immediately, lowers the quality of any movies hes in,. and likely he is catering to the lowest denominators of audiences, chinese people love to watch dumb things western actors do in movies.

hes a movie star, always wanted the attention. while bautista is an actual actor, and cena is trying to be one.

lol, next you know interstaller travel with a car, and then a multiversal arc.

dave actually is an actor, rock has no interest in even improving his range.

but he doesnt get a-list roles like DWAYNE does, and large contracts.

there is speculation he leans R though, but he know well enough not to stir the pot, much like SINESE dint until recently.

if its R his career would be dead(like chris "cant keep his mouth shut" pratt.), and he loves being a movie star. there is some leeway if he leans the other way.

oh yea everyone was criticizing DWANYE for the black adam movie, and the shazam has its own crazy going on, the "shazam guy" turns out to be a looney person too.

The Rock as Brian Johnson in AC/DC the movie.

My sort of pet idea.

Everything has just been escalating and escalating. One character (Tyreese) even acknowledged a few times how absurd everything is, almost 4th wall.

My thought was, something happens, and they suddenly wake up and discover they have been trapped in a sort of VR simulation. Then they have to stop the bad guy, but everything is super grounded like the first movie.

Sort of like in Last Action Hero when they escape the movie. Or a bit like Saints Row 4.

remember he was in the MUMMY movie as a bad CGI scorpion.

he sounds like republican, just like i suspected he was mentioned of being one in the subs.

funny you should mention rock being a rightie, alot of WWE wrestlers are magaty, KANE, undertaker, stone cold. dont know about cenas leanings. as thier audience is often on the right anyways.

Anyone who uses the term woke culture is immediately suspect, and hes a dick on top of it so sounds like it.

hes also an attention whore, loves the movie star lifestyle, i think thats why hes quite lowkey about it, im not surprised he is one, WWE wrestlers are pretty conservative. i think NIA jax was another one.
