Michael Douglas: American Male Actors are Too 'Asexual' to Get Film Roles

On the flip side, dreck like The Expendables 1,2 and 3 have been big.
Why? Because alpha guys were doing alpha guy things. People are naturally attracted to that.
Those are the only movies of late that bring men that I recall.
And don't bring me Iron Man. Tony Stark is a pussy without his suit.

I've said it for years. England and Australia have the actors, and Merica has "movie stars".

The SJW solution to the lack of USA masculine male actors would be to cast butch lesbians and female to male transgenders in male film roles.

Yeah the Americans go on and on about British, Irish and Scottish actors but in reality these men do not represent their nation. They are taught to pretend and their mannerisms come from their upbringing.
The Irish and Scottish actors are trained to speak in a way which American audiences understand them whilst retaining the foreigner allure.
I doubt the majority of people watching Liam Neeson, Gerard Butler and Sean Connery become exposed to the real accents.
Americans are all flash, no substance. Foreigners are substance but need more flash to appeal.

The notion that British and Aussie dudes are more masculine on average than Americans is a load of crack.
Britain is arguably more feminist and pussified than America. Case in point, their "right wing" is equivalent to our left wing.
And Aussies...well anybody who's spent time in Thailand has witnessed their beta behaviour first hand.
Funny thing is..I've always considered Douglas to be rather effeminate. Now, he's acting like he's the representation of all things manly.

Having lived in UK and AUS the latter definitely has more masculine men than the former.

Basically, he's calling them SWPL. Most comedies are very SWPL these days, really anything specifically made for the millennial demographic.
Johnny Depp isn't a classic "he-man" type, but he's great actor and doesn't fall into either category.

Shit man I've been thinking about this..Even going so far as to put actors like Steve McQueen Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson on my FB feed...All three served as did Kirk Douglas .Bronson and Marvin where both wounded in action..McQueen missed the war but still served in the USMC saving the life of 5 guys he dragged out of a sinking tank.Douglas served in the US Navy in the pacific and also had war injuries.Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda,even Clint Eastwood served (in the US).Most of these men also came from poor backgrounds..Bronson was working in a Coal mine at 16..
US actors in the day where not a bunch of soft cocks they were hard cunts...even the gay actors like Hudson..And most or a high percentage served in the Armed Forces...even fucking Elvis did his stint.
The thing with Aussie actors is that most can act, dance and sing..and are white..C'mon don't tell me Hugh Jackman is hetro..I figure this is also why us Aussies are sought after by yank women...it's happened to myself and my friends too many times now..I figure the media is pushing this Aussie stud shit onto them...I'm not complaining but I'm not wear Speedos.
The reason I was looking at this was because my dad always let me watch these actors when I was a kid.I was looking around for movies that I could watch with my own son in this plastic, instagram world..I thought of the movies my dad watched .Westerns ,war movies with masculine heroes...no fucking pussy shit.

1) As someone posted earlier, a lot of masculinity in the States is hypermachismo, there's a big difference. To put it in silly terms, it's The Rock v James Bond.
2) That's not true. Again, as someone posted earlier Americans are way more sensitive than UK/AUS/Most places. Therefore, it's not surprising that all this SJW over-sensitivity bullshit emanates from U.S college campuses.
Moreover, American's feminism is a lot more toxic than other countries' feminism. American guys on here who live in Europe or elsewhere will attest to that.
I will concede this is changing though, as we've seen with Protein World and Tim Hunt being fired. Although, the responses to both of those incidents have been delightfully British, in a "oh why don't you fuck off you cunts" kind of way.

1. There is hypermachismo...it's annoying. But still, there's a greater value placed on masculinity in the U.S than in Britain. It's remnants of a frontier/cowboy culture that England never had.
2. As a guy who spent half his life in the U.S and UK respectively...I just can't agree. Britain is mind numbingly PC. There are hate speech laws on the books, regularly enforced. We don't have that in the U.S.
American guys on here see Europe through rose-tinted glasses. It's better in some regards, but not a whole lot between them.

"Talent agencies" and a lot of Hollywood are basically just fag and pederast paradise. Queers have immense power to make and break careers. In the same way the gays have selected heavily jawed women with androgynous bodies and features to be fashion icons so too have they made their mark picking actors.
I also hate to bring this up Bosch but Tom Hardy is on record talking about all the gay experimentation he's done in earlier life. I like the actor but am just setting the record straight.
