The one, the only, my governor of the past 8 years, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is coming back to the film industry. Damn I'm so excited!

I hear there's going to be a spin-off of Total Recall:
Got his autograph for $15 at flea market. Great times ahead I hope.
My Grandfather helped to train the terminator when he was a body builder and someone from my family has a black and white picture autographed back when the terminator didn't know how to sign and signed last name first.
You like Conan the Destroyer more than Conan the Barbarian? To each his own, but that's like... preferring Wacky Racers (GEN) to Super Mario Kart (SNES)!
Just messin', I actually do like Destroyer quite a bit considering how different the tone is from the first film. I agree with Predator and Total Recall, great films! And for a kids movie, Jingle All the Way is brilliant, absolutely hilarious. Arnold Schwarzenneger & Phil Hartman (RIP), what a great combination.
Hoping he has a greatly expanded roles in The Expendables sequel!
He said he'd be back.
Arny never lies.
Arnie is my hero. He'll always be my hero. He'll have to loose the flaps, though. :confused:

Haha, I imagine he'll be keeping his shirt on for the most part! Still, he could definitely use some tone.
He could end up using some fake muscle padding under his clothes.
I think he will get fit again for a movie i just hope he doesn't end up grotesque like Stallone.
Damn, he's 63? Looks amazing! He could pass for at least 10 years younger, haha!
I want to see Last Action Hero 2!
I was just thinking.. DAMN he did Terminator 3 when he was 55! That's kick ass! Now that he's 63??? Well... no more Terminator Movies.. But sure why not be in the next Avatar?! "GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!"
I never thought he'd go back into movies.... It really MUST be getting close to 2012! (you know the old saying...)
I'm happy Ah-nuld returned.
The $64,000 dollar question is: What do I watch to celebrate it?
Commando
Running Man
Total Recall
Terminator 2
Do I go for total jawusumness, or a high one-liner content?
Yeah running man for sure, great movie and it totally has that awesome 80's feeling going on.
Personally i'm very happy that Ahnold is coming back to movies,
I really hope he gets a bigger part in The Expendables 2.
(maybe with Van Damme on Arnold's side)
Truly this is a day to celebrate. But honestly, I want Arnold to come back and win Mr. Olympia one more time. I would mark out for that.
He should do a third Conan movie, just do one where he's the older king shown in the ending of Conan 1,
and then he goes on an adventure for some reason and he fights people with a sword, and dark magic and blabla.
then again.. he'd be shirtless, and he seems kinda saggy these days.
but if he could fix that by working out, then yeah they should do a third Conan imo.
God damn getting old sucks. And my body already looks like shit. :(
(lol at that pic though)
Running Man for sure.

Running Man was AWESOME! The best Stephen King movie to date. ;) :D
I can't imagine Ah-nuld speaking Japanese. I guess, I just can't imagine him speaking in heavily accented Japanese. His accented English I'velearnedloorned to accept and love.
I shouldn't say much, because when he teamed up with Paul Verhoven on the "Total Recall" commentary...Verhoven's accent makes Ah-nuld sound like a native speaker.
You must be joking! Barbarian has much more going for it than just boobs. It's got Subotai, The Riddle of Steel, Conan banging a chick so hard she turns into a demon, Conan killing a giant freakin' snake, James Earl Jones transforming into a giant freakin' snake, gore, waaaaaaay more classic lines (What is best in Life, Conan?) and a crucifixion. Not to mention, Arnie KOs a camel! And that's just off the top of my head.
I love Destroyer too, don't get me wrong, but it's really cornball and played much more like a comedy. Barbarian is a serious Hyborian Epic, and for that it gets the jerry coeurl stamp of excellence.
I don't own either Conan movies.
Never was into the swords and spells stuff when it came to movies.
Your loss there! I'm not usually a big fan of fantasy flicks either, but Conan the Barbarian is definitely my favorite Arnie flick, period. Which puts it high in the running for my favorite movie ever!
You can get both films on a double-sided DVD for like 10 bucks.
That sounded pretty bad, he might need to gargle as well.
Predator's a fantastic film, but it's no Conan! Maybe if I had seen Predator in my formative years, things would be different. I just saw it for the first time maybe 5 months ago, and while I absolutely love it, and intend to pick up a copy asap, I love Conan even more. True story.
Conan:Predator::Sega Genesis:Super Nintendo
You only saw "Predator" the first time 5 months ago?
Tell me all this time you have lived with some remote African community, or you have been frozen and only thawed 5 months ago. Those are the only two valid excuses.
I was less than a year old when Predator was released in theatres, and growing up I was never allowed to see any R rated film. I dunno, I knew about Predator, but I think I remained unenlightened because no one ever told me how important it was to see Predator, because it was a foregone conclusion that everyone already had seen Predator.
When I started to tell people of my personal quest to see every film Arnie ever appeared in, I noticed how often Predator was a topic of conversation. So I went out and rented Predator post-haste, and it was every bit as good as people told me it was! It was a really great movie and while I did feel bad that I hadn't seen it up to that point, I certainly intend to make up for lost time!
Better late than never, I always say.
