I really do love The Rock. He's so freaking adorable on The Daily Show. Like, I mean, how does someone get to be that built and fabulously tall and macho and yet...is completely disarming?
I know! I feel the same way. I mean, I watched professional wrestling for a while (I know, I know), and a large part of it was because of the Rock. He's my favorite, like, ever.
I once avidly read Sweet Valley High. I never judge others for what they turn to for their entertainment needs.
I love you?
Seriously, his first appearance on Saturday Night Live was pure comic gold. His second, ehh, not so much, but he was a hastily-arranged substitute host. The first one was tailored to his personality, and extremely funny.
It was also awesome to see him live, as I've babbled before. He really knows how to work the crowd. And I wish I had a videotape of him interacting with this 8-year old boy who went up.
Is there nothing he's been in that is watchable? I feel like what he really needs to do is a short 3-episode, well-written stint on a wonderful show. Like, Scrubs, ala Brendon Frasier. And maybe another stint on The West Wing. (Not a coincidence I'm picking my faves, here.)
*scribbles a memo to The Rock's agent*
Cause you can just see he's too bright to want to continue exclusively in the roles he's been getting.
No, no. Sorry. I can see how I wrote that in a misleading way. In addition to a stint on Scrubs, he needs to do 'another' guest appearance, but this time on West Wing.
Oh, totally! He could be a George P. Bush/Barack Obama character, a multiethnic individual activist. Or, someone who's funny and serious at the same time. Y'know, a good actor.
Plus, he could totally take John Spencer in a cage match.
I've liked John Spencer ever since I was watching L.A. Law as a 12-year-old. It's only in retrospect that I recognize how wrong that actually was. But he always impressed me as a good actor. It remains to be seen whether his DDT is as good as The Rock's, though.
But Doom has the chainsaw! The chainsaw! O_O *fangirl happiness*
Okay, so I played the game a bit much (Doom III *drool*), but I do look forward to splurging a bit of cash to see him weilding said chainsaw & BFG. ^_~ High theater, no. Good rocklicking (and slightly bloody fun), yes!
You know, I bet if I'd played the game, I'd be all over it. Because from the clips of it that I've seen, it does look like those boys are just having an all-out good time!

Am I nuts or is The Daily Show not on on Monday nights?
