Salty Diesel: Rock Has Me To Thank

I don’t know, but I just find this Furious bitch-fest kind of funny.  There is heat between Tyrese Gibson and The Rock, because the latter was granted his own separate movie with Jason Statham.  Actually, the ‘heat’ is one way, on the totem pole hate always goes up.

But we might also forget that Vin Diesel is also salty.  Which is kind of confirmed in the social media post below.  It has an unhealthy dose of passive aggressive cheese and salt!

Brotherhood… and all it’s complexities. This scene was filmed in Puerto Rico, I can remember it like it was yesterday. Such a beautiful island, the people were so warm and welcoming. I turned 43 that summer… and my son Vincent was born.

A woman named Jan Kelly responded to a question I had asked on Facebook, ‘who they would like to see me work with?’ She said would love to see me work with Dwayne… I listened to her request and he became Hobbs.

I know there has been a lot of speculation as to why the Fast 9 release date was pushed… but it would be unfair to say it is anyone’s fault.

As we plot the course to expand the Fast & Furious universe, one must be mindful to take stock of the roads we took to get here. The pillars of authenticity, family and most importantly, our loyal fan’s perspective has been instrumental in procuring success.

However, like any vehicle that has run around the globe 8 times, the franchise is in need of maintenance. My good friend and the godfather of Universal, Ron Meyer has granted me the time to do just that. We have some very exciting news to share soon… stay tuned.

Yours truly, Dom

So, after a fan requested it, Diesel decided he’d hire The Rock.  The real translation is probably closer to: Goddamnit, I was pissed when Universal said they wanted to bring in The Rock, and even more pissed when he had a positive $$$ effect.  Also, signing off as ‘Dom’.  Come on now!

Personally I’m not a huge fan of The Rock (except when he was the Corporate Champ), it’s more that I can’t resist Diesel’s car-wreck cringe and enjoy Toretto-flavored salt.
