neutral · AI labelView post →Needed a laugh. Show watching The Rocker. Movie is hilarious and has a solid cat. Just a good time #filmsky #therocker
positive · AI labelView post →For some reason TikTok is determined to show me the entirety of the 2008 Rainn Wilson-starring film The Rocker two minutes at a time.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m reading that Greg Ginn interview in the New York Times and thinking about the 2008 movie The Rocker where Dwight Schrute plays a washed-up hair metal drummer from the 80s who joins a high school rock band.
neutral · AI labelView post →On this day back in 2008, the film "The Rocker" starring Rainn Wilson is released. In a deleted scene included on the DVD, he goes to collect his drum kit from self storage, and when he opens one of the cases, the drum has "Neil Peart is GOD" written across the top of it. youtu.be/nkI8OPXTFQs
neutral · AI labelView post →It's sad, because The Rocker was a pretty good movie, it just got washed out by a lot of other films that came out that year, but his voice acting in Monsters vs Aliens wasn't anything remarkable. You just have to keep playing parts & giving the show your best.
positive · AI labelView post →I respectfully submit a BUNCH of tracks from The Rocker movie soundtrack.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Rocker with Rainn Wilson is such an underrated movie
positive · AI labelView post →It’s possible that ‘the Rocker’ might be the worst movie ever made because I found it unwatchable despite being set in Cleveland and featuring Emma fucking Stone as a drummer
negative · AI labelView post →Right now, Ella McCay is aiming for a $2.3-ish million domestic launch. If it hits that number, that would be the 6th worst domestic opening ever for a non-re-release movie debuting in 2,500+ theaters. Titles like Copshop, The Rocker, Arctic Dogs, and Victor Frankenstein all opened better.
neutral · AI labelView post →Having watched The Rocker on YouTube I can confirm it’s a good movie. A little predictable with its plot but great original songs especially the Vesuvius songs. #TheRocker
positive · AI labelView post →Are you ready to rock? Greg from Movie Date Night returns to see if The Rocker hits the right notes! #TheRocker @PantheonPods notthatbadcast.com/2024/08/14/e...
