The difference in Audiences between 80s Arnie and now

Arnie and Sly's current movies still get the guys to the cinemas, back in the 80s they had the sex appeal to get the women too. Now all the girls and woman want the twilight type wimps. So that is a huge market gone and accounts for the reduction in box office.

Plus a lot of the new generation want heaps of CGI and stuff like that.

I don't know why I'm responding to this post. I already regret it. But here goes.

This just seems to be a knee-jerk Twilight comment. Sure, he's not as gigantic as Arnold or Sylvester, but Taylor Lautner can't be described as a wimp.

Sure, I've been a bit disturbed by this slender metrosexual trend in the media and entertainment, but the reaction that a lot of girls had towards Taylor bulking up was a bit encouraging.

And btw, this is coming from someone who is not a Twilight fan. I'm just interested in social trends.
