The Rock and Johnny Knoxville in WALKING not so TALL!

Hey folks, Harry here... First off, you all know how utterly retarded I feel it is that MGM is for remaking WALKING TALL as a film that has nothing to do with the reality behind Buford Pusser and the original WALKING TALL films. How I feel taking a real name of a real man and then turning it into something that has nothing to do with the reality involved is just wrong. How taking a great Hixploitation film like WALKING TALL and just turning it into a typical action vehicle for The Rock is offensive. BUT, ok... the Rock is gonna play a righteous fella that knocks the shit out of people with a Baseball bat, got it. Now, they're still calling it WALKING TALL though... and these photos, well they all seem to show Dwayne Johnson as being average height, doesn't seem to be walking particularly tall at all. Maybe it is just me, but check em out...

See? Ok, also recently, I believe it was CHUD that ran a rumor about The Rock being cast as Captain Marvel in the SHAZAM! movie that William Goldman has scripted for New Line. I saw this being addressed on Filmforce and it put the fear of fucking god into me. I was terrified, cuz I don't want to be seeing The Rock as the Big Red Cheese, and don't worry... none of us will. It isn't true. Sources within New Line tell me it isn't so. So consider that rumor debunked...
