Wow. That really is freaking amazing.

Drew Carey and The Rock for the win so far as the big guys helping the little guys out! You’d think more of the massive money makers would follow suit, if only to get lauded the way these two titans of industry are.

Gotta admit, this is a brilliant move by The Rock. He needed a public image boost and this might be the best he could have done.

Brilliant on his part. His reputation for being a tool was growing. This will definitely will BUY him some good will. I am sure part of him genuinely wants to help but I also have no doubt this was also calculated. No matter though it's for a good cause that help out a bunch of people. I sure would like to see more of the Hollywood elite jump on this bandwagon.

When did the rock start getting a rep as a tool? I’ve always liked the guy. Or did he just get too big for his britches?

I think he just made a series of flops and was so sweaty about remaking the DCU around Black Adam… and then that was a catastrophe, which he STILL tried to sell as a success.

Take a number SAG. We’ve been waiting months for them to come back to the table!

I feel like if we had drones shooting footage of all these studios, we’d see their CEO’s standing at their window towering over the Strikers down below, laughing maniacally and twirling their non-existent mustaches. That’s how they’re coming across during this BS.

Or seen reading their newspapers on their yachts!

I want to know if Iger has the stones to go back on the record and if any journalist has the stones to call him out on his Let Them Eat CaKe moment from his billionaire summit.
