Danny Trejo is our Charles Bronson. Vinnie Jones is something else. Beyond them, I'm having trouble conjuring badasses that don't stink of exfoliated gym rat. Some can step up and play it (Hugh Jackman,) and that's all you really need for Captain America. In fact, he should have that "I'm not your typical beefcake" intellectual twinkle in his eye. My favorite choice is still <a href="http://nurgh.blogspot.com/2008/05/matthew-mcconaughey-as-captain-america.html" rel="nofollow">Matt Damon</a>, but it just does not seem to be in the cards for that guy to ever go spandex.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915477135063595894.post-74941336714232913042011-02-08T14:26:30.492-06:002011-02-08T14:26:30.492-06:00The current state of the ideal, square jawed, blue...The current state of the ideal, square jawed, blue eyed, blonde (or black)haired man, with authority and maturity, is sad as heck. Hemsworth is a notable exception, but the new Superman gives me a date rapist vibe, Bale would fold like a cheap suit under adversity, and now Capt America is a shadow of the Greatest Generation. There's still some great tough guys out there, but they are all far from type.<br /><br />Statham is a bright spot. Briton's seem to be the go to tough guys these days. Even Bane, who by lineage should be a demigod in the Doc Savage tradition, is being played by a balding british guy. Daniel Craig, Hugh Jackman. The mainstream doesn't get it. In the worst way possible.mathematicscorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439579069513071094noreply@blogger.com
