Marky Mark discusses 9/11...would have saved the airplane

[rocket]

Not true. Whalberg was booked on flight 11, the first to hit the towers.Nobody had a clue they were going to be flown in to a building.About the closest was a stewardess on the phone saying they were too low and over a city.Whalberg would have sat there like everyone else thinking they would safely land, and eventually be allowed off once the terrorists made their point.Flight 175, the 2nd plane to hit the towers, a few of the passengers got wind that the plane was possibly going to be used to be flown in to a building, with one passenger who thought the target was Chicago.The passengers on the left side of the plane at the windows would have almost certainly have seen the North tower on fire as they banked sharpely left on the final few seconds, many probably realising what was about to unfold.

Don't be ridiculous - marky mark would have read their minds, disarmed them and then landed the plane, himself.  That's just the kind of guy he is.

Why those Hollywood 'heros' don't cross Africa,Iraq or Afghanistan without escort 

[AbrahamG]

Damn right!

Can't wait till it leaks out that he logged some miles on Weinsteins couch.

I dig several Marky Mark flicks, but I absolutely believe he’s “compromised” in Hollyweird.

For a great many years I’ve wondered, Why him? How does THIS particular guy get so many breaks/publicity?

The actual acting part ... Acting, as a creative talent, is bottom-of-the-barrel. Marky is no better or worse than tens of millions around the globe.

He’s modestly handsome, I guess (no homo). There are millions of better looking, though.

He’s short.

What’s the deal?

Somewhere, with someone (some people), he’s “played the game”.

There’s no other explanation.

Success in Hollyweird is just plain luck/right place right time/you know someone.

Some acting skill is required but there's thousands of decent actors trying to make it.

[funk51]

Agreed.  But what is his exact height please Matt?  To the 1/4 inch if you don't mind.  (I know you will know  )

            exactly 5 ft 6 and a half

Charisma plus good looks.Very few people on earth are charasmatic enough to hold the audiences attention and not look out of place as a leading man in a Hollywood movie.Sad but true.Even hyper good looking chads like mad mens john hamm dont look right as hollywood leading men.Truly need that "X-factor".

Yeah Marky Mark would have saved the day just like in his movies.   Just think if Steven Seagal was on one of the flights, he would have killed all the terrorists with his bare hands then took over the controls in the cockpit and landed the plane in the river or a field and no one would have had a scratch on them.  We should have a Hollywood actor on all flights to protect us.

Uuhhhmmm....Sorry to intrude on your big moment here but you're wrong. Seagal is the real deal. CIA, black bag work in Cambodia, Aikido master....not a run of the mill Hollywood "star". More like a human killing machine.

Stop wandering. This thread is about Wahlberg.

Yes - at least that is what has been alleged about Wahlberg.  I read that online more than once.  It may have even been on his IMDB page at one point, but I did for sure read it online.  Whether or not it is true is another story.

Speaking of Mark Wahlberg - he looked great in "FEAR" [1996] with Reese Witherspoon.  She was in the movie "Legally Blonde" in 2001, which came out in theatres only a month or two before 9/11.

If anyone has watched the movie, you may recall the scene where she pretended to be extremely attracted to one of the geeky/nerdy guys.

It turns out that his mother passed away on one of the hijacked 9/11 planes.

The DB Cooper case was the last example of a person who managed to hijack a plane for the sake of acquiring a ransom.  I happen to love the original Unsolved Mysteries series with Robert Stack [season one of a rebooted version of UM has just completed filming], and this 1988 episode that featured DB Cooper was really good [IMO]:

Interesting that the last successful example of a plane being hijacked for a ransom happened in 1971, just days before Mark Wahlberg turned six months old.  

As to whether or not he - or anyone - would have fought...I hadn't thought of it the way that rocket presented it:

Generally, you think that by cooperating with perpetrators of crime, that they will let you survive.  That is not always the case though - for example, with Ted Bundy, he tended to not attack women who fought back.  I guess he wanted them to be crying and be engaging with him in a submissive way, as per his sick sexual fantasies.  Apparently when women fought back, Ted Bundy would flee.

So in that case, fighting back was a good thing, although in other cases, such as the Connecticut River Valley Killer, he stabbed Jane Boroski 27 times, before finally stopping - and he only finally stopped because Jane stopped fighting back.  

That case is so sad...it was another case that was covered on Unsolved Mysteries, and is currently on YouTube, if anyone is interested [Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack - Season 4, Episode 4 - Full Episode].  The fact that that case is still currently unsolved makes it even more sad.

Our man X factor would play a good leading role

And he's also a great lover of women.  He has sex with them whether they want it or not.

You are thinking passenger 57 with Wesley Snipes

[Pray_4_War]

Tom Brady could have saved that plane.

Always bet on niggers Black!!

[Tapeworm]

I never got his name Marky Mark.  Its the name Mark with a y on the end, followed again by the same name. It is neither fresh nor fly. Try it with your own name and I'm sure you'll agree that it is redundantly redundant to the point of being oddly odd.

that movie, Executive Decision with Kurt Russell and Airforce One are some great action movies.

Con Air.

Put. The bunny. Down.

I love when "actors" pretend to be tough guys. Oh brother  , gayer than a 5'5, former underwear manlet pretending to have a chance against numerous killers.

Had there been trained fighters or law enforcement agents (more than 1) sitting in first class, then maybe it would have gone differently.

No, it would have gone exactly the same.They said they had bombs.Nobody was fucking with that pre 9/11.

Get real. Mark would have punched the shit out of him if he tried to make a move.

I heard he gave grand jury testimony to his being face fucked by Harvey.
