Valonqar Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 2 hours ago, MCKillswitch123 said: Yeah, agree. I guess the performance sports side of their backgrounds (wrestling and, to a certain extent performative, MMA) really helps bring that charisma necessary for comedy quite naturally. Hell, The Rock's whole schtick was that he was quicker and faster on the mic than everyone else. Though we do have one wrestler turned actor that has done more serious things so far (Batista), and he's done well too. Albeit his most popular role is, of course, more comedic (Drax). That's a great point that performance sports side is helping them. Also, I think because sports require discipline, they bring it into acting too. Yes, Batista is GOTG MVP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I think John Cena being so funny and naked in Trainwreck really helped him break through a bit. He had some funny lines in Sisters too. He’s pretty good at comedy, he has great timing in Blockers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the first funny R rated comedy of the year (looking at you Game Night). Plus, all the scenes the audience died laughing at aren’t in the trailer!

Valonqar Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I hope Cena snags Best Actor in Comedy nom at the Globes. Fat chance cause HFPA are too stuck up to nominate an ex wrestler but he deserves it more than whatever category frauds get in there all the time.

They gave the Golden Globe to James Franco for playing Tommy Wiseau about 3 months ago. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First the narrative was they are stuck up but when that is pointed out as stupid the narrative is they like stuff that is so hip. Weird, it's almost like you will change the narrative to whatever fits your own bias. Edited March 29, 2018 by EmpireCity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you are talking about who should win an annual 2018 prize in March should be a bit clue about who is really being biased here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium George Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 He didn't win but ryan was nominated for DP. I though GG was seen as such that they go for popular picks for ratings that's why less credibility than oscars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenG Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 91 % Fresh with 39 fresh reviews (out of 43). Why hasn't this goten a consensus yet? I swear that I have seen movies get a consensus after 25-30 reviews!! https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/blockers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Blockers is fantastic, hilarious and poignant at the same time. I have to say John Cena was a scene stealer and surprisingly he was very believable playing an overprotected Dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 The box office next weekend will be really interesting. Both this and quiet place have breakout potential, but I'm really not sure how they'll do. I'm hoping for 20M apiece at least. @EmpireCity any thoughts how this'll shape up? Is one drastically outpacing the other or are they in the same ballpark? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ban1o Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I'm surprised at the good reviews for this. I'm also surprised it's not a total mysoginist movie like it seemed in the trailers lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
