    Can we talk a moment about how much John Cena should take up Jim Varney’s torch and become Earnest P Worrell Jr.?

      But only if he maintains a training regimen on par with Hugh Jackman’s for Wolverine. I want to see squiggly veins in Ernest’s biceps.

        Oh yeah. It’s gotta be some over the top story arc. Like Ernest Jr’s mother was/is a circus strong-woman that met Ernest Sr in the early 80s. Ernest Jr goes on an adventure to learn all about his father, embraces the absurdity. Could

    If I were an actor in today’s age, I would legitimately rethink ever working with WB at this point. Hell, even if I were a PA. This goes to show that if you make something with WB, it likely won’t come out.

      You get paid the same anyway if they actually film it right? Like as a PA I mean. Obviously it’s different if you get royalties

        Yeah but spending months of your life working on something for it to never be seen by people really sucks. Even if you get paid. You make a thing, you are proud of the thing and then the thing gets put in a box and no one else ever gets to enjoy that thing. Capitalism sucks

          While that’s all true, there are a lot of productions where I assume basically nobody involved is actually proud of the thing they are trying to create. Like all those soulless cash grab movies that Illumination pumps out. I figure basically everyone there is just trying to collect a paycheck
