I find it hilarious that Vin Diesel thinks he’s big bro to The Rock:mjlol:

You're underrating Vin's Hollywood clout now.. No he's not Dwayne level but he's a big Hollywood persona even outside of Fast because he's a producer as well and gets roles in major movies such as GOTG for no reason and is paid handsomely.

He's made millions off Groot alone.. they could have anyone do the voice. He was chosen because he's got clout

Cena got to fulfill his wanna be Hispanic dreams.


Before seeing F9, I made a joke about what else can they do but go into space and everybody fell out laughing talking but you ain't seen the movie yet.

Seriously, what else can they do. Take out Thanos. Go into hell and bring Brian back. Or maybe stop an alien invasion in Ford Mustangs.
Why he gotta be in hell though? :mjlol:

I also find it hilarious considering he's only five years older than The Rock.

But what i will say is Vin Diesel is worth $200 plus million himself. You gotta be a little cocky when you have that kind of money. He doesn't look at The Rock like a fan.

the rock literally hasnt publicly said anything bad about anyone his entire career. and this includes the wrestling business, where hating on another wrestler in one way or another is da norm.

even on punk'D, It took forever to make this man upset lol he doesn't have a ego like that, he didnt even respond or say anything bad about tyrese.

the fact that he goes out of his way to shyt on Diesel and call him out on his bullshyt, says a lot. he really doesnt like that man and has no interest in squashing it

Vin is clearly super unproffessional on set. Probably goes around yellin and sayin slick shyt to ppl and that type of energy dont fly with everyone

If he has clout like you say why couldn't he get his Hannibal movie made? He even supposedly had Denzel ready to play his father in the first of a trilogy of films he had planned out.

TYRONE GA!
They aren't going to end a series that's so highly profitable... Some people may not want new films but they are in the minority. :yeshrug:


Can anyone tell me from a business standpoint why it should end? They are gonna do it for the $$$

Younger cast with their kids taking over.

This was foolish from the start. If Rock is right about talking to homie about this man to man months before his little IG post, then that’s an extra bytch move on his part. And the fact he called him “little brother” was never going to do it lol. It’s almost like he knew rock would say no but wanted to save face for the Fast fans.

But as I said before, this series isn’t missing the rock. It’s missing paul walker. He’s the everyman the series was always about and through his eyes. He’s the guy it’s easy to empathize with. Dom isn’t. Hobbs isn’t. And Tej and Rome are comic relief. Han, letty, and Mia are in service of Dom.

So call the walker bros, use the tech you used in furious 7 and bring Brian back. But even then it won’t be the same obviously.

For my money, furious 7 is the last time I truly enjoyed a Fast flick front to back. Didn’t like Fate and F9 was a nice return but still something felt missing. And that missing thing is still Brian :manny:

if the rock isn't the biggest movie star on the planet right now, he's top 3. there's nothing to underestimate. vin aint on that level. at all.
