Who is THE action star right now?

At one time, Schwarzanegger was the unquestioned king of action films. If his name was on the poster, you knew it was going to be an all action blow out.

These days, the Terminator has become the Governator. Likewise, Chuck Norris is pretty much retired from the world of kicking a$$ and taking names.

So then, who is that actor today that rules the action film genre?

For that matter, does such a guy exist? If not, who's closest to that role?

Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Bruce Willis are all too old to be at the top of the list these days. I can't think of anyone who really stands out, but they don't make action movies like they did then. Other than Henne's mention of Jason Statham, I can't think of anyone who really fits the mold.

It seems that the action movies have now become epic movies, such as 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow. How many more movies can Hollywood make about the end of the world as we know it?

Guys like Steven Seagal (who sucks) still churn out their stock, though it's mostly B-Grade, straight-to-video crap.

So then, the question becomes this: Is it the movies that have changed or are today's actors just not big enough to wear the mantle of guys like Arnold, Chuck, Bruce and Sly?

I think most of todays guys want to have a actual career. Most of those action guys get stuck doing action movies

The Rock will be that guy.

He was supposed to be that guy, but it seems as if he's switched to kiddie movies. Race to Witch Mountain, The Tooth Fairy, (whatever the name of that movie was where he was a football player and had to keep his daughter), etc...

Walking Tall and The Rundown were good flicks, though.

He needs a franchise is all. They should have given him Captain America, but it went to some pretty boy instead.

I laughed pretty hard when I read that, but upon thinking about it for a minute, Dwayne could very well be the perfect actor for that role.

He'd make a good green lantern no? wasnt he black? the rock is half black. close enough.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
