The Rock Says His Newest Bomb 'Red One' Took Inspiration From 'Oppenheimer'

Here is a transcript. 

"I Had an opportunity to go watch Oppenheimer and I watched it in the IMAX theater where Christopher Nolan watches and screens his movies. Him and Emma, his wife, and I even asked 'let me sit where Chris is sitting'. 

So they said Chris sits here to enjoy the movie, so I saw where Chris sat, I watch Oppenheimer, It was amazing. 

And I was thinking, Holy shit. This thing? Red One on this screen? With this technology can be game over."

Lets check in on 'Red One', shall we? 

The Rock is a very interesting guy to me. On the one hand, he is undoubtably charismatic and one of the best success stories in Hollywood. He was practically penniless and clawed his way to the top of the wrestling world and then, despite not being a good actor, became the highest grossing actor on the planet. On top of that he seems, for the most part, to be a philanthropic and nice guy.  

On the other hand, he is sort of a delusional, strange liar at times. He takes victory laps around non achievements for his movies (like 'Rampage' "breaking the video game movie curse") which has always felt weird. He also just loves a tall tale. This is one of my favorites. 

Brother, you're the star of the movie. Something tells me they're not gonna start the movie without you. He also posts these outrageously huge cheat meals that he claims to eat without ever showing a bite. Speaking of, he also did this big video last year about "His first visit to In-n-out" despite having another video about his "first visit to in-n-out" a few years previous. Just a strange fellow!

To be honest, I don't actually see much of an issue with this one. The Rock watched 'Oppenheimer' and decided he wanted to make his own massive bomb. Mission Accomplished, as George W would say!
