    Rock instead of Shia Le Beef would have been good. But I guess The Rock would have been Epps or Lennox

    Stop trying to insult/force other members of the forum to shut up. There is a reason there are forums on TFW2005 - this is to allow people to speak their opinions. Your retort was childish, especially when my comment neither needed your input nor your rash nature of moaning at everyone who presents an opinion that disagrees with you. This is not a forum designed for the purpose of allowing you to silence other members.

    Granted you are a 'fairly new' member who has only been on the forums a year or so... however the forums are not a place where you are allowed to go around telling other members to shut up.

    GOOD in The Departed, GREAT in I Heart Huckabees.

    I rest my case.

    (and if you haven't seen I Heart Huckabees, don't let Jude Law turn you off, he's a total douchebag in the movie intentionally!)

    Mark Wahlberg is a white Will Smith. Limited range, but very good in that range. Needs roles designed for him. Good at playing dumb, bad at scenes which require non vocal emotion. Can do comedy and drama, so long as they don't have to carry the emotional weight of the film.

    He's a great fit for TF movies. Hopefully Bay picking his own cast improves the movies.

    LOL, I just assumed 'Get Out' was a film he'd done that I hadn't heard of.

    The Rock not doing TF4, probably some contract clause Hasbro has because he's headlining G.I.Joe Retaliation.

    Having said that if they did an actual G.I.Joe/TF film I would totally get behind that. Sure it probably wouldn't be as good as the Avengers but film Crossovers should totally happen more often.

    Marky Mark a good actor? I haven't seen that many films with him in it if I'm honest. I liked his Dirk Diggler though. He should totally slap around some Decepticons with a prosthetic wang.

    It's hard to take the OP seriously when they complain about depth of an actor but then have words like "Poop" and "Boobies" in their signature.

    It's action movie. Who cares if some actor can put forth an oscar winning performance in it. And btw I do think he is a good actor.

    Try telling Rotten Tomatoes that. if you tally up all of his movie scores on the site he has the lowest.

    His role in the Expendables 2 should have give him an oscar nom atleast.

    Bah say what you will about Chuck, unless you agree with me then YOU ARE WRONG. Such is the way of the internet. ;) 

    Honestly I don't think Mark Wahlberg is that great an actor, most of the stuff I've seen him in is him playing essentially the same guy. Which is great if you want him playing that guy in your film, but its not like I can see him pulling off a role like Lincoln.

    Having said that I've not seen him in that many films, none of the ones people state are his best (The Fighter/The Departed). As long as he does what he does in TF4 and thats what's best for the film hey, I guess the film makers could do worse.

    No no no..you were actually on the right track from the start. Imagine the Rock playing Shia's role, exactly the same as Shia, through the whole series...

    It's really kind of comedy gold.

    Then you could take the audio and pair it with clips of Cliffjumper while he fights the Vehicons and is taken to Starscream.
