There's a whole lot of women with daddy issues. Same goes for twinks. It's weird and off-putting but I guess I'll probably appreciate it when I'm a gross old dude.

Since we're on the subject how young was Tom Cruise supposed to be in the Mummy? I kept getting taken out of the story thinking about the 20+ year age difference between him and the female lead.

they're just terms for like a surface-level appraisal. it's like asking "are you ratchet or preppy? what do you call somebody who's not preppy but is into preppy people?" it's just not as prescriptive and regimented as all that

I get so happy the few times a big name leading man who's aging is actually paired with a love interest close to his age. There's so many very attractive 40+ year old actresses out there, do we really need another 50 year old leading man who just has to be paired with another 20-something actress who probably won't be getting work in 5-10 years because she'll be considered past her prime while he'll constantly be paired with 20-somethings for the rest of his career?

Up in the Air was good about this, Anna Kendrick is even asked by her boyfriend if she finds Clooney attractive and she's like "Ew, gross, he's old!" and Clooney hooks up with someone much closer to his own age.

Shankar frequently cites rapper Eminem, writer Warren Ellis, artist Murakami, and Final Fantasy 7 video game character Sephiroth as artistic and stylistic influences.

Good thing he's not a director, writer, or anyone involved in actually making movies.

Maybe we just need more older female leads who have young boy toys as love interests. Just a suggestion.

Like maybe they should make a movie where Gillian Anderson has sex with a guy of my age. Who looks like me, maybe.

Could be interesting.

Most people if they start out hot (like most actresses, for instance) they won't suddenly turn hideous upon hitting 35 or whatever. A beautiful woman will still be a beautiful woman at 40 - unless she got real fat or acquired a drug problem or hosed up her face with plastic surgery for no reason (Megan Fox) or something. Whenever you see surveys showing the top porn searches "milf" and "mature" or similar things are always near the top, just slightly below "teen." So, I don't buy this poo poo that no one ever wants to look at a woman on screen older than 30. You can throw some hot old broads at us once in a while, Hollywood. We can handle it.

Here's my extremely hot take on love interests in movies: It's perfectly ok to have love interests at the same age even if that means the lady involved is a bit over the age I'd be interested in because she's not there for me to kiss she's there for the 50 year old male lead to kiss and I can appreciate a love story or a couple in a movie even if the people involved are too old for me, the viewer, because I'm not the one smooching either of them.

It's hard to get upset that actresses stop getting parts when they get older. All you're arguing for is them taking parts away from younger actresses who never had the chances they had. Like oh no, please don't cast that hot 22 year old newcomer, let's cast Nicole Kidman, who had 17 surgeries to look younger, in her 60th role!

And it's not just that people don't want to see older women, people don't want to see movies *about* older women either. So even when they're cast it's always 35 year olds playing women who are much younger. They should cast appropriately according to age and let the milfs retire to Lifetime movies.

Hollywood should be run like Logans Run, just kill anyone over a certain age.

Also if ya'll think Hollywood casts the same people too often and isn't open for new blood check out Bollywood, a country of nearly (or over?) a Billion people and they have like 10 people that star in every single movie made in the entire country and then their kids take over.
