John Cena is....TEH MAREEN!!11!
 

Seriously. What...the...fuck.

Hulk Hogan was an American Icon, The Rock, while somewhat of a dubious actor in his early days, is respectable, and a skilled actor, as well as action star. He made a great hero, and an excellent Villian.

But...John Cena? Seriously. John 'White Boy Crack Baby' Cena? WHAT THE FUCK!? The guy is still a wrestler, he doesn't NEED to be in a movie. He can't even act like a freakin' degenerate thugga' rappa' homeslice, which he apparently is, and now they're trying to make him an ex-military man?

I predict this movie will suck hairy donkey testicles, but it will still make millions due to the hardcore fans that still claim wrestling is real while they do donuts in their monster trucks.

But maybe I'm wrong. Can anyone explain to me the subtle charm and nuances of this film? Am I totally backwards? Is enlightenment about this incredulous piece of videographic novelization just beyond my minds capacity for understanding?

*edit* Wait...crap. I put this in the wrong forum, didn't I? Can someone move it?

Well, I dunno if it's necessarily in the wrong forum, as pro wrestling more or less operates by cartoon logic most of the time anyway. And I'm saying this as a fan (yes, I know it's fake and kinda stupid, but so is most anime so shut up already), so don't get your knickers in a twist, all two (maybe) of you other wrestling fans on here.

Anyway, having watched the trailor, I'm left wondering how much of that stuff they really teach you in the Marine Corps. Specifically, does Flarecobra, for instance, know how do deliver a flying chokeslam? I'll be waiting for an answer.

Well, the odds probably aren't in this project's favor, but stranger things have happened. I mean, before his first book came out, who'd of thought that Mick Foley was actually a really good writer (especially for someone who'd taken as many blows to the head as he's done)?

And, POS: It's not "stupid", it's over-the-top. It's a soap opera that men can watch without their sexuality being ridiculed (which is a bit odd, as it's kinda all about two sweaty men in tights groping each other), 'cos people get hit with chairs in it.

Hey, I'm just quoting the people that look at me aghast when I reveal my appreciation for it. As I said: Knickers + Twist = No.

Yeah, I don't exactly have high hopes for this movie though. Might be a fun enough ride, though, worth a rental. Cena looks like a doof throughout the trailor, but Robert Patrick tends to be fairly good. So, you know, there's that.

Sorry, forgot to add smilies to that last post ^^' . 'S all right, I occasionally get the odd look thrown my way for my enjoyment of pro wrestling (tho' you'd think all those sweaty athletic men with bare chests would appeal to more females than it appears currently watch :p ) It's marvellous stuff if you can really suspend your disbelief--even more marvellous when you can't ^_^ .

I'm looking forward to this project, myself; maybe John Cena will become the next "Rowdy" Roddy Piper of acting =P !

Maybe, but I see Cena more as saying, "I've come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of ass."
MST3K for teh win!
Me? I'm still a supporter of Kane's film career. Which reminds me, I need to check out that movie of his one of these days.

Kane movie? I think my mother grabbed a novelization of a Kane movie from the library. I asked her to lend it to me if it turned out to be sufficiently rich in unintentional humor.

Citizen Kain isn't what we're talking about. =P

Also, I used to like wrestling, back when there was more ass kicking and less emo-ness. Now I can't even sit through ten minutes of Smackdown without changing the channel.

My best bud went and saw the Kane movie, I think. He said it was pretty gorey, but I don't know if that accurately translates to 'scarey'.

Every fiber of my being screams out, asking "Why?"

But then I realize its been a while since a good ole' fashioned Action Flick came out. It seems the last 6 months has been nothing but rapid fire based-on-true-stories-CGI-Kid-friendly-sports-themed mush. There are a few notable exceptions, but I basically haven't been to the movies since May (I did see Superman and Pirates).

I, for reasons that I cannot entirely fathom myself, want to go see this movie.

I think I might just need some plothole filled mind numbing action, where the hero is chiseled and has that specific kind of chin*, and has an unflappable moral compass. Freud might say I have penis envy, but in the end who knows?


*Seriously, Cena has the "hero chin" thing down.

Yeah. Sports mush and war movies, or rescue servicemen movies. And now we've got the whole slew of bad horror movies coming out around Halloween. I went to go see Fearless last weekend, and every single trailer was for a stupid horror flick. Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel, the Grudge II, some other crap about.. I don't remember... a girl being possessed by a murderer's ghost or something. All CRAP!! And this Marine crap doesn't look that great either.

I haven't seen a good movie since Pirates. Well, okay, Fearless wasn't bad. But nothing else. DAMMIT HOLLYWOOD!! DO SOMETHING GOOD!!!
