With as much cooking as he does, I have to imagine he brings alot. Whatever it is sure smells good.

More than likely it will be showing at our drive in and as others have mentioned just a perfect fun action movie with some cool cars and over the top action normally.

By default then, does that mean LogDog is correct?
Dwayne Johnson has got it made. He plays nearly the same character in every movie, just different hair styles. Not a knock on him, a like the guy, but he's allowed himself to be heavily typecast.

Imagine how much more commercially successful he would be if he would seek out challenging roles that could showcase his depth, sincerity and character.

70's? Is the red and white car behind that wedgey thing NOT a 3rd gen f-body?
Is The Rock beefing up a bit?
Um, yes.
He's been beefing up for "Pain and Gain."
Marky Mark seems to have gotten rather impressively huge as well.
Ok he is freaky looking in that pic

Ehhh.... yes and no. He's been getting progressively bigger and bigger over the years, as he constantly trained for "The Fighter," and it's not like he was ever "small."
I think the claims of him gaining 40lbs are grossly exaggerated. When you have that small of a frame, 10-20lbs looks like a HUGE gain. My guess is that's about what he did, and definitely doable with the 10 meal a day diet he was on.

Agreed. I just saw the Italian Job on TV, and while he wasn't quite jacked, he certainly was ripped even back then. Start body building and drinking protein shakes for a snack and it seems pretty much like what it should be.

He's not as ripped now as he was then, just looks like a crazy protein loading and lifting binge.
I did about the same thing when i decided i wanted to go from 155 to 183 in 5 months. Got big, lost definition, got much stronger.
What is it with body builders and those Joey Buttafuoco pants?

No similarity at ALL! Tropic Thunder is written as a comedy - it's not necessarily supposed to be stupid, but it is intended to be humourous.
The Lame + Ludicrous franchise are supposed to be dumb blockbuster timekillers, not art-house cinema, I agree. But they're not intentionally supposed to be funny ! That's a purely accidental byproduct of the idiotic writing.
Tropic Thunder is amazing, people who say they don't like it are idiots or in denial.
Love me some Fast and the Furious, it's just part of why this summer will be expensive

From most to least favorite: 3-1-5-4-2, we'll see where 6 falls.

Cool Cars,
Explosions,

How could you not love these movies?
I'll be the dissenting vote. The first one was so berkeleying retarded it was unwatchable. I haven't been back.
I get RAMBO. I get DIE HARDER AGAIN MOAR. I'm not a "It's just E36 M3 blowing up" snob. But maybe if I was a cop, those movies would make me roll my eyes and walk out of the theatre.
HORRIBLE berkeleying acting, and the movies that made "drifting" a household name. I blame fnf for every gas station conversation where some berkeleying mouthbreathing numbtard saw my Civic on the trailer and said "So you like, drift that thing or what?"
Whoever makes these movies have done for modern car culture what John Singleton has done for black culture, and you guys are supporting them. Congratulations, shiny happy people.
Edit: I realize that E36 M3 sounds all "What about the scene, bro!!!???" I don't mean that at all. The E36 M3 is just so goddamned stupid; the acting so terrible, that it is un-berkeleying-watchable.
If I'm going to watch some E36 M3 with no plot and horrible acting, it had damned well better involve at least one chick trying to perform physical impossibilities, and not that haggard unibrow sportin' manimal mexican chick from that first fnf.
I have yet to find a combination of chemicals that drops my IQ to the point where I can enjoy this garbage. If y'all find one, let me know!

Seconded, with the additional comment that I think these movies started a fad wherein a bunch of kids who where never going to be lifelong car guys bought and and summarily destroyed many of my favorite '80's and '90's Japanese cars in between their equally short-lived infatuations with skateboarding and being in a punk band. Being the subject of a short-lived fad was no better for '90's Japanese iron than it was for 'crocs.'

You really like those words don't you? 
It's a MOVIE. People are STUPID. I don't watch them for acting, maybe a few one liners and to see how drugs obviously aren't as bad as my teachers and parents told me they were because all these people are still living.
These are rhetorical questions so feel free not to answer.
Do you like the cars in the movies? The answer is yes, you know the plot is BS as is the story with them is but I think we can all agree there are cars that each one of us likes in these movies.
Do you like girls? Poopshovel you have been on and posted in the GGA thread so I know the answer is yes.
So here is the real question, have you seen twilight? Because the rant you just pulled should be reserved for that line of crap.
There is a few Audis in there, so you get about 60 seconds of screen time in between them and the old chevy. In case you think glittering fairy princess vampires and rain are the coolest thing in the world there is no redeeming quality in them.
FF series = Car + Girls - plot - acting = Still a car movie with girls. and if you like the Rock, Vin Diesel or Paul Walker there is some eye candy for you too.
I will be nice and put this plainly YOU ARE CLEARLY OVER THINKING THESE MOVIES! Unplug, and watch the pretty pictures, or don't either way, the movies are not the worst thing on the planet.
Do you know every episode of the real Top Gear is on netflix? It's intelligent and hilarious.
Obviously (back to the GGA thread,) you are aware that there are lots of naked chicks doing whatever you want for free on the internet, and you don't need to waste anywhere near 90 minutes to see them.
By your logic, I should watch every berkeleying horrible turd of a movie ever E36 M3 out of Harvey Weinbergsteinfeinburg & company's ass as long as there are cool cars, explosions,and one marginally hot chick in it. Sorry dude. Not my bag. I have a hot wife, some pretty cool cars, and I KNOWS how to blow some chit up.
Enjoy "Justin Bieber drives a Ferrari with some retarded coke head chick in the passenger seat" though. I bet that E36 M3's totally worth 90 mins of your life....

What's REALLY funny- is Singleton actually directed the 2nd one, which is by FAR the worst of the series. Seriously, check out 4 or 5. Shut off the dumb acting brain. The action is good.

+111one1llonetymcone.
I'll happily watch all 3 Transporter movies. Back to back. It's not that I require plot, acting, or thought-provoking dialog.
It's just that the L+L cars are SO BERKING FAR from being "cool" that I just wish they would stop ruining them... and that's before they even crash one.
It all depends on perspective. Watch an airplane movie with me, like Top Gun, or Flyboys and watch me spit fire. Yet you'd look at me and go, "Its just a movie,dude."
