There is one thing which depresses me about the state of hollywood. Action movies and action heroes have NEVER been in a more dire state than 2007.
Over the years, hollywood has supplied more than its fair share of real "men".
1960's : John Wayne, Lee Marvin (They did minimal physical activity, but were pioneer tough guys whom you would not want to mess with.).
1970's : Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Bruce Lee (Great one-liners, more physical action).
1980's : Arnie, Stallone, Seagal, Van Damme, Sho Kosugi, Mel Gibson, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Rutger Hauer, Harrison Ford, Chuck Norris, Jesse Ventura, Hulk Hogan, Dolph Lundgren, Steve James Michael Dudikoff (well...maybe exempt him). (The peak tough guy period. I have left so many guys out as well. These guys had action, fighting skills, great weapon skills, great one-liners....the whole package).
1990's : Wesley Snipes, John Travolta (the beginning of the end....action movie roles were mainly filled by successful men from the 80's. The action men breeding program ceased to progress, which would lead to a drought in the following decade. The 90's could have been a lot worse, if not for Travolta's transformation from whimp to tough guy and the charming Wesley Snipes).
2000's : The Rock...(OMG....what has the world come to????? The Rock is the ONLY actor who has shown signs of being a man this decade. Even he is on the downhill slide
. Don't DARE refer to pretenders in Vin Diesel and Ice Cube.....they are fakes. If anybody refers to Pitt and Clooney as action men, they should admit themselves to the cookeyhouse.)
Men, we have to stand up and DEMAND that real men return to action roles. I am tired of seeing "fake" men (clooney, pitt, bana) trying to look tough. Let REAL MEN return to the forefront of cinema.
If Arnie could recruit an "Oceans Eleven", he'd do a lot better job than the current weak-ass gang. Try this for Arnie's 11
1. Arnie
2. Sly
3. Willis
4. Snipes
5. Bronson
6. Eastwood
7. Lee
8. Seagal
9. Marvin
10. Gibson
11. Van Damme
I know who I'd choose.
