Are there any "shlock action movie" guys anymore? Statham is the only one I can think of off the top of my head and he's what, in his 50s now? It's getting tough to find a turn your brain off non-horror movie to watch that is a level above syfy original. We were so spoiled from the 80s-00s, Seagal or Van Damme or Lundgren or whoever were making GBS threads out a marginally watchable movie once every few months. I assume this is another thing bad superhero movies took from our culture.

Dead rage, checks out. That’s like 2 steps below simmering

Also speaking of Statham, I watched the recent Guy Ritchie schlock fest Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre and I actually quite enjoyed it. It was stupid as hell and everyone involved knew it and was just having fun. I especially like Hugh Grant’s late career hamathon.

Also Aubrey Plaza always rules

I tried watching that poo poo a few months back because one friend of mine is a huge Bernthal fan but I had to turn it off after a few minutes. LaBeouf is a Disney kid and Bernthal is your typical privileged theater kid from a well-off family and yet here they are talking about their harrowing lives while spouting the lamest fortune cookie platitudes ever about how tough poo poo life is, man. The only good(?) purpose these podcasts have is they give us plenty of case studies on how narcissists behave.

Just before I read these comments I was just googling the JB and Michael Mann stuff bc I never heard of it


This immediately jumped out to me:

quote:

It’s not the only time Bernthal faced harsh criticism for his acting. The actor also recalled how, back in school, his theater teacher also thought he was a bad actor. Bernthal’s father confronted the teacher about his words and told him to never speak to Bernthal like that again.

Imagine sending your dad to confront your private college professor.

I'd put Gerard Butler and his X has fallen firmly in this camp, he's getting old as poo poo too though.

I think the thread consensus last time this general topic came up is that the woke mind virus has made beefcake illegal and we live in the age of the power twink.

God I love Jason Statham and I’m glad he exists as an institution

Late career High Grant is also a treasure. He was also having a good turn in that D&D movie, just having a blast being a bad guy

Jeremy Iron could have some fun being a campy weirdo too as shown in the other D&D movie and die hard 3! It rocks when veteran actors just get weird.

After it was featured on BotW, I tracked down a copy of Stone Cold starring Brian Bosworth and it is even more fantastic than the episode made it look. It literally feels like watching Norm MacDonald describe a parody of 80s action movies in a completely deadpan way where you're never actually sure if you're supposed to be laughing or not.

I feel like John Cena and Dave Bautista were gearing up for this type of career, but turns out both of them can do drama and comedy roles too. Plus they seem like more down to earth, empathic people that aren't demanding to make movies about beefcakeishly blowing the evildoers' heads off. Actually, that's probably why they're overall better actors than the 80s staples in the first place.
