This A+ list mostly movie actor always has a good reason why he should be distanced from box office disasters in which he stars. He takes ALL the credit when things go well, but has a team in place to blame others or other reasons for any lackluster numbers. This time is no different, except the tabloids are printing word for word what the PR people say. Grow a spine tabloids.
Dwayne Johnson (Skyscraper)

Dwayne Johnson (Skyscraper)
He's hot AF and I'd let him do a lot to me but his instagram captions about his movies are some of the cringiest stuff I have ever read.
ReplyDeleteMore like grow some accountability dude!
ReplyDeleteAgain, isn't this every actor, ever?
ReplyDeleteHe can't act for shit.
ReplyDeleteI heard Rampage was better.
ReplyDeleteThe point isn't that he's having his PR company do its job, like anyone else would. It's that the tabloids are repeating that narrative instead of doing the job people think they actually do, digging for embarrassing stories.
ReplyDeleteI like him, he seems really nice and one of the good guys. So I am OK with him doing this
ReplyDeleteTom Cruise doing all his own stunt work is why the new M:I movie is so good and a hit, and why The Schlock's CGI "Skyscraper" is so bad and a flop. People are tired of fake effects and phony stars. Tom Cruise, for all his many flaws, is still a real movie star. The Schlock is not.
ReplyDeleteI don't care who headlined Skyscraper. I'm never going to watch that movie. It looked terrible.
ReplyDeleteLoathe him and his giant ego and giant phoniness.
ReplyDeleteDon't get what's attractive about him....same with Vin Deisal (spelt wrong I think!) Not my cup of tea. Have never watched a film with either of them in it. Seems I'm not missing out....
ReplyDeleteAccording to Renegade The Rock takes it in the asshole to get his movie parts.
ReplyDeleteSo what if he has a great PR team that knows how to spin. That is what they are being paid for. I do not really see this as newsworthy!
ReplyDeleteThis Forbes article reads exactly like a press statement so lame

I like him in Moana
ReplyDeleteI thought I read here once the opposite about him - that if he did a movie that was a dud, he was usually the only star from the movie willing to go out and do publicity for it.
ReplyDeleteA PR team that spins bullshit is not great. They are part of the problem.
ReplyDeleteThe Rock movies are actually hits. They're box office bombs in the US but box office gold in foreign countries. Remember folks, movies are now made to be marketed in sold in Asia - particularly China. China did not allow Netflix into their country to protect the Chinese film industry.
ReplyDeleteI watched an early version of the trailer for a survey. I thought it looked cool. What went wrong?
ReplyDeleteNothing. The movie is what it is meant to be...full of ridiculous stunts and entertaining. Nothing more, nothing less.
DeleteSkyscraper is not a bad movie, nor is it fantastic! It was refreshing to see Neve Campbell on the big screen once gain. I think Dwayne Johnson needs to stop plastering his face on all the action movies that comes to him. From my perspective, Dwayne Johnson is an attention manwhore. He can't stand it when co-stars take the lead role especially in the F&F franchise.

ReplyDeleteYep, 100% this
The rock is so juiced up and huge he can barely walk, let alone jump one feet in the air.
