Where are the action movies?

Hollywood has gotten so artsy you don't see as many great action movies. Sure there are action movies, but they don't get the big names and funding. I saw Battleship on HBO, it was ok. Not great but ok. 

 

What you end up with is all the old farts from the golden age of action movies doing B movies like The Expendables and Red.

 

I'd just love some new ideas. No remakes, no comic books. Get me something fresh.

Skyfall, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained, Hurt Locker, True Grit

I just think you see a lot of cross-genre stuff these days - tons of action comedies. Lots of suspense/thriller, and sme of the ones above are debatable as to which genre they fall under (the Tarantino ones really).

There doesn't seem to be too many go to action actors anymore, wherein lies your problem IMO. Either they can't act, aren't a big name, make bad movies, or some other issue.

 

Older guys

 

The Rock (not a huge acting name obviously)

Jason Statham (not A list or going to sell tickets)

Will Smith (doesn't make enough movies/makes bad ones)

Mark Wahlberg (It's Marky Mark)

Vin Diesel (?)

 

Younger, potential guys

Ryan Gosling (too artsy/"pretty" maybe?)

Channing Tatum (the best chance to be the guy, but he's interested in all genres)

Taylor Klitsch (bad movies, B List)

Charlie Hunnam (I liked Pacific Rim, but he's not a big big name yet outside of SOA)

Michael B. Jordan (Too young right now, but I like him)

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
