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)

    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.  
    • Should definitely look to trade him in the offseason. Some team will fork over draft picks thinking they can turn his career around, especially considering what happened to Mayfield and Darnold after they left here. I think a lot of people will be surprised at how high of a pick he would fetch too. There's a dozen guys you could bring in to match (or exceed) Bryce's production for 1/10th of what his 5th year option is going to cost. Let some other dumb team pay that (and ship us draft picks for the privilege). Dump Dalton too while you're at it, start the QB room over from scratch.
