I think The Rock has never had a major role in a live-action movie with a 3.5+ on LetterBoxd or a 70+ on Metacritic. Maybe I'm missing something.
I mean "Spy" with his co-star Jason Statham only has a 3.2 when it deserves around a 5.3, people can't be helped.
But that's kind of the point, sure such metrics underrate his genre, but the kinds of people who tell you to check out "Spy" or "Crank" with Jason Statham don't seem to often recommend "Skyscraper" or "San Andreas", either.
Yeah I haven't seen either but the "Jumanji" sequels are about as organic a hit as franchise sequels could possibly be, they must be doing something right.
(And "Spy" has a 75 on Metacritic. I don't know why the LetterBoxd is so low.)

The RGV casts something like 7% of the vote in Texas, I think.
Maybe a little more. Depends on how you define it and I don't have that spreadsheet handy.
This says the region in green had 3 million residents in 2015, maybe that's 11% of the state population, presumably a smaller % of the state electorate. Image

Saw "Black Widow". Thought it was...the usual MCU quality level?
Disney and MGM should have broken whatever FTC rules necessary to collude to avoid putting trailers for "Shang-Chi" and "Snake Eyes Origins" near each other because I think it will actively hurt both movies...
I guess that's not the same set? ImageImage

"Loki" is reminding me of my pet theory that Cisco's old girlfriend on "The Flash" was supposed to be an alternate version of himself and they chickened out. ImageImageImageImage
(I don't even know if this counts as a theory or if they just conveyed the information badly.)
Lies and cowardice.

Such a bizarre figure for such a long time...I suppose that's good in a talk show host, keeps things interesting.
"Daytime talk show host" is not necessarily the natural career end for this beginning, you'd think. Image
I mean talk show host is talk show host, but...NYC radio is not nationally-syndicated TV...it's working out though.

Probably catching up on "Loki" in a bit. Does this show still have buzz? Does anything?
I did hear Richard E. Grant is good, but a man who managed to be entertaining in "The Rise Of Skywalker", that's no surprise.
Gugu Mbathu-Raw continuing her game of "can I somehow make every single one of these line readings interesting".

I mean Snoke was in TFA for five seconds doing nothing at all distinguishing, so yeah, theorizing about him was in fact silly, RJ is right I think.
Hitler wasn't like, the secret grandson of Woodrow Wilson or the old Kaiser.
I mean it was handled badly across all three movies, what wasn't, but I don't think Snoke needed to be anything more than "the latest jerk with Force powers and an army" from JJ's own screenplay.
