I guess Hollywood found the solution to their insatiable desire to cast the rock and his inability to act differently than himself.

Hmmm.

Uncut Gems was intense. So there is that.

Emily Blunt is great. So there that.

MMA crap does nothing for me. So there is that… Except neither does Wrestling (WWE shit) but The Iron Claw was incredible!

The Rock can’t act for shit. So there is that.

Is it just me, or do those look nothing like the rock and Emily Blunt? Is it just heavy CGI for .....reasons?
