[quote=Delahanty;30898321]LOL so the grizzled likes of Harrison Ford will be replacing Bruce Willis in whatever the heck that movie is (another action flick).This over-the-hill gang must really think they're all that. They're not.quote]
Hey, I'll still watch an Antonio Banderas movie just to see him. He's still hot to me.
I think male actors in general have changed. I love Tommy Lee Jones....loooooovvvee him.
But let's pretend US Marshalls was being cast today. Who would play his part? I think these current male actors are just something to look at. Which means we won't see them age. No more Grumpy Old Men or The Bucket List.
I'll take Bruce Willis or Harrison Ford or Jason Statham over the young wimps they call leading male actors, these days. The actors they get for leading man roles today look like a bunch of prep school graduates that never got their hands dirty a day in their life. It used to be Hollywood at least made an attempt to get leading male actors for action flicks that looked like blue collar types.
It went downhill beginning with the younger Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jude Law and only got worse with Jake Gyllenhall, Ashton Kutcher and Tobey McGuire --- not that there is anything wrong with them as actors. They just aren't the danger, danger, rescue me, sweep me off my feet type in my opinion. They fit better as suit guys in an office scenario, teachers, leading men or as character actors.
Mark Wahlberg works. He's at least believable taking or giving a punch.
I think Statham looks pretty blue collar. I agree with you about the rest.
Glad someone finally brought up Clint Eastwood! (and James Garner). Cannot believe anyone would not go to see a favorite actor (or actress!) simply because they are older! We movie-goers are getting older too! Will pay to see my faves as long as they are able (or offered parts) to be in the movies.
Ooooohhh...forgot to also mention Tommy Lee Jones....Thanks nat_at772!!
