BLADE RUNNER 2048: NOWHERE TO RUN

>>87764971
If there was a reason to want this movie to succeed it would be just to give Batista's filmography a little boost and to lord over Dwayne Johnson's meme flicks

>>87765097
I am surprised what a good actor he is.

>>87765812
You're not alone. I was quite pleasantly surprised.

>>87765812
When he got the callback for Drax he pretty much cried and doubled down on acting lessons, pretty good article on him here.

>>87765812
most of it is because he has a photogenic face tho.

>>87764971
It's that atheletes' mindset that makes them put in actual effort to get good at things they care about.

>He likes Graham Greene
Dropped.

Think about how mad The Rock is about Bautisita's film success. He's insanely mad. Who is The Rock going to play next? A DC character named Shazam? LMAO.

I like the rock but honestly don't really watch most of his movies and when I do they usually suck. Bautista made the right choice, he's a way better actor.

The Pebble stars in flicks, Barista plays in kinofilms.

>>87764971
Wow, looks like they're stepping up the Lovecraftian themes in this sequel. Good stuff

>>87766209
Actually he's playing Black Adam, but who knows when his solo movie will ever come out, he's had that role reserved for almost 2 decades

>>87766209
Rock probably has money to live 200 years but dear lord he is one uncharismatic tiresome fuck.

At least Batista has some charisma and stage-presence.

It's peculiar how you just either have it or not.

>Everyone talking about how Bautista is a good actor
>ignore how this doesn't look like an actual place rather than a set
>that beeeep sound after he breaks this guy's neck used in a completely useless way

I like Bautista too and it's a shame

>>87766209
>>87766296
Why would the rock care, he was the highest paid actor last year?
I don't even know how normies aren't bored of his flicks yet.
It's same thing every time. (which is exactly what Batista is trying to avoid)

>>87764971
Based batista out-acting the rock.
im glad he made it in Hollywood.
fuck cenafags

>>87766349

I like these memes

acting is good but those tiny glasses look too goofy, he kinda looks like virgil from fallout.

>>87766341
This tbqh

Anyone else caught that shoutout to Macross 82-99 at 3:14?

>guys bumping into batista like he isn't a 6'6 brick shit house
lol ok

>main characters are Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford
Not exactly hard to out-act those guys.

>>87766633
>3
I think they look very good, make a distinct look in a positive way. I already "remember" this character and I've only seen 3 pictures of it..

>>87764971
BUT HOW BIG IS BATISTA'S DICK?

>>87764971
I wrote off the new Blade Runner movie, but this shortkino changed my mind.

>>87766910
bigger than you

>>87766786
They know they can fuck with a skinjob, what's he doing to do?

>>87766786
they dont care he's big because they have weapons and he looks like a nerd with his shoulder bag and book

the rock is literally him in every movie, the worst actor who makes the most money just talking normally

>>87766786
>drug addled tweaker fucking shits picking fights with people twice their size.
Seems accurate

>>87765097
>>87765812
I love how dedicated he is. It's really inspiring.

>>87766633
the tiny glasses look amazing, glad you're not directing

>>87765812
I think he's just good at picking roles and puts in actual effort. Different from talent, but equally if not more important.

I love the huge brickhouse shy nerd type of characters.
you know theyre always fun to watch.

Rock missed his chance to play Conan in that new movie. I mean, it wouldn't have done his career any favors, but in a sense he was born to play the role. Had to settle for the Scorpion King and Hercules.

>>87766069
He has an exotic ugly face. Not something i'd call appealing.

>>87767385
Wasn't he literally this guy in some some DTV fantasy movie?

Is that makeup or is he really that old now?

>>87767334
Here's your (You).

>>87764971
wow, that sucked. This movie is going to be so bad. No surprise since the original is one of the most overrated films of all time.

>>87767425
>Rock will never have that powerful yet lean aesthetic ever again
Sad day bad day

>>87767474
not the same director on the short, but yeah it was purposeless

I love how quickly you fags turned on the rock after baywatch

>>87767474
>the original is one of the most overrated films of all time
Back it up, Jay.

>>87767425
>Rock missed his chance to play Conan in that new movie.
Which apparently wasn't that great but I still wanna check out at least for Ron Perlman, but look how that worked out, Momoa has pretty much never been in a successful movie but whoever is his agent managed to get him into GoT (in its best season bar none) and then Snyder loves that yummy muscle mocha latte aesthetic so he got fast tracked for Aquaman

>>87767541
>he didn't know that we weren't actually pissing our pants laughing with our bros and getting litty

anon...

>>87767541
>after Baywatch
And why not? It showed him for what he really is, an easily flustered manbaby having kiddie fights on twitter because he can't handle any kind of criticism, all because his masturbatory beach vanity project flopped.

>>87767425
hercules was great though

>>87767437
I think it's a photogenic face that does great combined with his stage presence which I find surprising that he has it.

the Rock didn't have it imho

>>87764971
So is this going to not suck? All I've seen so far is Bautista who is actually a pretty darn good actor, and the giantess holographic girl.

>>87767366
Batista has always had consistent praise from people for the bit roles he plays. Even Drax was one of the best parts of GotG, before they turned him into a memeing autist in the sequel

>>87767363
That's what it's for, isn't it?

>>87767495
it's Ridley's son learning the art of kino

>>87767793
Should learn faster, that Alien short he did was awful
>that camerawork
You SURE Ridley is his dad?

>>87767494
>hwn be your power bottom

Feels bad, man

>>87765812
WWE is 90% acting 10% entrance music

>>87764971
I guess this is the place to ask now.
I've seen a lot of funny short videos from WWE, but I never ever watched it for real. Where do I start?

>>87768744
whatever you do, don't go to /asp/ for advice.

>>87767107
plebs say Dwayne is the new Arnold, he's more like a giant Will Smith.

But yeah, I don't Dwayne has ever done any actually good acting that warrants him being in fucking everything. He just lucked out being in Fast and The Furious, where he played a generic as fuck character.

Honestly I dunno how Cena will do. He's good at dumb comedy, but that might be his ceiling.

>>87764971
Can this be the whole movie?

I've been saying it since Spectre came out that Bautista blows Dwayne Johnson out of the fucking water
Glad more people are realising it

>>87766031
>that article
wtf I love Bautista now!

>>87768958

my exact thoughts, kek

>>87764971
>directed by Luke Scott

Untalented faggot who still giving works in pre-quel shorts of daddy's films. Fuck off Scott, take your uncle's route and do us all a favor.

>>87769261
Im sure this post made him cry, kek

>>87769018
Cuz he's got long hair and bronze skin and the public loves him, no one was exactly bitching and moaning about an Austrian playing him back in the 80s either, and I doubt anyone will complain when the Rock plays the Egyptian (non sub saharan) character Black Adam. Because the public loves his ass.

>yfw you realise Batista is a legit good actor

I hope the guy starts getting some decent lead roles, he's 48 but he's good

>>87766429
He's saving what is going to be a dumpster fire of a film

>>87768744
Just watch a weekly Smackdown or Raw, you'll come to grips with the main feuds and characters soon enough, you don't have to watch both, since both shows have separate wrestlers and storylines. The weekly shows are kind of long and dull though, but if you're not already familiar with the wrestlers there isn't really a better starting point.

Mainline WWE is kinda shit atm, so I wouldn't bother. NXT (a smaller promotion within the WWE umbrella) is alright though. The quarterly "Takeover" specials they do are excellent, but the week to week TV is a little boring. Check out "Takeover Brooklyn 3" if you wanna watch that. It's their latest special and it's a pretty great. The show before that "Takeover Orlando" is also excellent and has a WWE moty contender between a couple of britbongs.

Otherwise there's alot of wrestling besides WWE out there in 2017. Watch some NJPW, they've been on fire all year, a little overrated by their fans imo, but still some of the best wrestling in the world if you don't give a shit about story soap opera bullshit and don't mind watching a program in Japanese.

>>87770151
Cheers bro.

>>87768744
just watch raw
all the guys they protect and give a shit about booking are on raw now
smackdown was great until they shook up the rosters and now a literal jobber is being pushed as world champion while great wrestlers are fighting for midcard belts

>>87765097
This so much. Batista is immensely underrated. And holy fuck was that fight scene in this clip great. A fucking tank is what he is

He has to be with Ridley giving him so much work.

Based Big Dave being the best actor to come out of wrestling

>>87765812
Half of wrestling is just acting so that isn't a huge surprise.

>>87769457
i feel its going to be more like a sewage processing plant fire.

>>87767671
This, it's the first film of its type I've enjoyed in a long time. It's like they finally realised people don't want to just watch CGI battles where every main character is a one man army.

I fully expected it when each guy had a different weapon speciality but the whole main group basically concentrating on each other's enemies was refreshing and the rubbishing of the myths shtick was great

Does anyone else feel it'll be up to Bautista to deliver finale speech this time around?
