I don't know if this is common knowledge, or if people will even care. The Rock (former wrestler/actor) was just on the daily show, and John Stewart was like "you're in a very exciting new movie, why don't you tell the people what it is". He seemed hesitant, but said that it was called "Doom". [it was really cool, the audience audibly went "oooohhhhh"]As in, the classic computer game. Out in August.

 

Could go either way, I think. The Rock's not as bad as his rep makes him out to be. Good effects, lets hope.

[saturnine]

the rock's an actor?

[mrs jesus]

the rock's an actor?

no, he's an "actor"

[saturnine]

is he in "limblifter", as well?

[mrs jesus]

no, man, he's in "danzig"

[Sparq]

As in, the classic computer game.

From what I've heard, there are no demons, and it does not take place on mars ;)

[cavalier_eternal]

then you can't name it doom...

 

heh. i remember the good old days. i was between five and eight. and it was awesome.

 

doom III scares the crap out of me. talk about eerie... really awesome, though.

[calgarydave]

lol I just find it funny that "The Rock" is no more than a failed CFL player. He wasn't good enough to play footbal so what does he do? lol go to the wwf.

 

I'm sad though cause I cant play doom 3 my comp is too crappy ;)

[Sparq]

It was good...not Half-Life good, but that's another issue. Scary? It made me jump a couple times, which is more than can be said about most games, but I'd expected more from the reviews.

 

And that thing about Doom not involving demons or Mars is a fairly old piece of information from a source so commonly sarcastic that it is difficult to tell what is news and what is a joke. So....yeah.

[TheRat]

the rock only has an extended cameo in doom. karl urban is the actual star.

i'd laugh if tarantino directed it.

 

that would make for an interesting flick.

Actually, he blew out his knee in college and could never get back into shape to go pro. It is not as if he didn't have the ability.

 

And id acting has never been that bad. I'm no wrestling fan but how is the Rock worse than Stalone/Van Damme/Segal/Schwarzenegger?

[Crusader]

Dwain (The Rock) > Schwarzenegger

he isn't but i don't like any of them, either.

 

<shrug>

[rosengoo]

That outta make for an Oscar win.

[cavalier_eternal]

who cares? honestly?

 

it's an action flick...

[mrs jesus]

who cares? honestly?

 

it's an action flick...

action flick shouldn't have to = shitty acting.

 

rules are made to be broken, you know.

[HoboFactory]

No Wilford Brimley in it??

[cavalier_eternal]

i never said it didn't have to...

 

but generic crap is a trademark of capitalism.

 

as vonnegut said...

 

the age of the disposable tissue.

 

and that's just what a lot of the media out there is. crap.

 

not like there isn't any decent stuff... there are reams of amazing things i haven't and never will experience.

 

which makes life interesting and enjoyable.

[mrs jesus]

i'm sorry, i was following and then you just kinda went off some place and i don't really know where it was or why you did it and quoting vonnegut does not make you cool ;)

[Fluxuation]

People are in movies I don't have to see.... whine whine.

Someone's making a living doing somthing they love... whine whine.

 

I meant to go see Be Cool tonight, but missed out on my chance. It's not that dissapointing, as I only like The Rock's action-type films, being The Rundown and Walking Tall.

[Moonlight_Graham]

Doom 2 is my fav all-time videogame.

 

This movie is going to suck. The Rock sucks.

[glassjaw]

well if we're going to be dropping bombshell comments like that.....You Suck!

 

wow, I can feel the intellectual prowess of some people

[zenkey]

Gonna suck. Gonna suck.
