Thoughts I Had... while staring at this photo from the set of "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage"
Sunday, January 31, 2016 at 11:00PM Thoughts I had in the order they came to me after the jump...
• Is everyone this bored when Vin Diesel's between their legs?
• Is Vin Diesel always this bored between a woman's legs?
• This green screen stunt might be hilariously camp onscreen. We can hope.
• This photo would be so much more intriguing as a film-in-production tease if it was Toni Collette in the bikini. That would wake people up like 'WHA?' True story: Vin Diesel is five years older than Toni Collette yet nobody would ever pair them in a movie. Toni Collette will be saddled with the 'old lady in a suit' office villain or agent wrangler role.
• I should know who this girl is but she doesn't look like Nina Dobrev to me who is The Girl of the movie I believe. Anyone?
• Remember that time that Vin Diesel was posting videos of himself dancing to pop diva tunes?
• Was anyone clamoring for a sequel to xXx (2002)?
...Besides Vin Diesel.
• Literally the only thing I remember about xXx besides Asia Argento is Vin's massive fur coat. If that's not back, NO SALE.
• Someone loved xXx enough to make a custom figure with its own leather and lambskin fur coat.
...there's someone for a movie for everyone out there.

Breaks my heart that this is going to be Deepika Padukone's first English movie. Or maybe that's a good thing, low expectations and all? Bollywood doesn't always translate but I love it when it does (Irrfan Khan, Tabu).
Macklemore already co-opted the massive (faux) fur coat look. Next!
The first thing that came to my mind when looking at that picture?? I liked it better when Kim and Kanye did it (which isn't saying much).
I thought the girl was Vikander actually. I mean she's everywhere (even in BURNT!), so who knows?
I'd prefer the return of Darius Stone.
Ryan T. took the words right out of my mouth.
Yes, Vikander. It'd be great if this was Vikander and this movie turned out to be her Norbit so she'd lose her Oscar to Winslet.
Deepika is amazing in the two movies she made in India with Sanjay Leela Bhansali (RAM LEELA and BAJIRAO MASTANI, in a role the director had conceived years ago for Aishwarya Rai).
Thoughts I had staring at this photo:
Sex on a motorcycle? By this franchise's standards, that's kind of tame. He used a dinner tray as a skateboard last time. Yes, that was as goofy and painful as it sounds. Let's hope for something on that level.
Nice work if you can get it. The rest of us fly coach.
My first and only thought: I wanna be that motorcycle.
And I'm 98% sure that's NOT what anyone involved in the making of this image wants me to think.
Didn't know that Deepika Padukone had been roped in for this one. I share Rahul's disappointment. She's marvelous on every level and deserves a much better Hollywood intro. It's always surprised me that , with so many beautiful, accomplished Bollywood actresses to choose from over the last decade or two (most of whom speak flawless English), none have ever grabbed Hollywood stardom. Bipasha Basu would - at the very least - make an amazing Eva Green level Bond girl. Now that "Quantico" 's given Priyanka Chopra some North American TV fame, maybe she'll get some decent American movie offers. Aishwarya Rai certainly had a great shot a few years back. and for awhile had high visibility in the north American media. But her English language film choices were ill-advised. I always regret the fact that she supposedly turned down the role of Helen in "Troy". That's a role she was perfect for - and the film took in close to half a billion worldwide. Anyway, all of these lovely ladies are doing fine without Hollywood stardom. But English speaking audiences don't know what they're missing.
Seriously?! Who needs this crap?!
I thought it was Rihanna myself, and I preferred it when Rogen and Franco did it.
The only thing I remember from that movie is that I found that Nearly Naked in Shower photo of Vin Diesel around that time. Google it. So, so close to the hairline....
cal, if Oscar overlooked Jupiter Ascending to crown Redmayne, then every future nominee will always be safe.
