Where have all the men gone?

It's been on my mind lately; the new breed of actors in hollywood are terribly androgynous. really pretty boys who have the screen presence of a lettuce leaf, and picturing them making love (at least to a woman) is laughable. Look at Jude Law. None of these young guys (barring Gael Garcia Bernal and Louis Garrel) could play a conflicted not so good guy character.

Now I want the Robert De Niro's back, even Kietal has got sexuality (it's not hard to beat Law or Di Caprio). I want the bad boys back, the off beat mysterious guys; Josh Hartnetss too all American for this South African.

I want dark suave men, who look like they get what they want (you know what i mean) I want raw maleness back on the silver screen. A man who looks like man a little bit scruffy,doesn't dress better then me and has oodles of charm when he wants to and if that doesn't work a little bit of force

But seriously I find myself watching Mean Streets (I'm 19 for gods sake) and imagining Johnny Boy in my bed, even if he owes every one money and is a bit mental. Give me the intelligence, intensity, masculinity of the De Niro's above the prissy Jude Laws any day (even a spaghetti western Eastwood has a whole lot more appeal).
