He used to be tough. What happened to him?


Now he's promoting veganism, global warming, attacking Trump and playing a interior decorator in the new Terminator

reply

Or was he always an elitist shilling for George W, Warren Buffet and Rothschild.

reply

He got of the `roids, and now has no natural testosterone production, so his brain now works like a frustrated houswife`s brain.

reply

yeah his balls are size of peanuts now

reply

Arnold wanted to be an actor and then a politician...not knowing being a politician would destroy him.

Why are there so many Russia-lovers on here?

That is scary and annoying as fuck. Pestering everybody everywhere with their crap.
It is like islamic terrorist, whose only achievement EVER has been making plane boarding super tedious.

California, humility, and politics

reply

I like him. He's not a "box-checker". When he's political, he's Republican, but he doesn't feel the need to just fall in line. Good for him; it's like he's got principles or something. John McCain was the same way. It's so rare and refreshing to see somebody with a conscience instead of toadyism.

reply

Telling people to "screw freedom" isn't Republican in any capacity.

There's nothing principled about telling people that the foundational constitution on which their sovereign nation was built shouldn't be upheld...

In fact, it's treasonous.

reply

agreed

way to take a quote out of context. typical Fox News viewer

reply

yaa man no restrictions on drinking and driving!!! I want to speed in school zones! no restrictions on threats!!!! I was people to be allowed to openly join the kkk, Hezbollah and ISIS!!! "muhhh freedom!!!!"

its almost like theres restrictions on ever freedom. derp derp

john mccain was a vile human being - tortured by the vietnamese and then approving the torture of others. Heck, he loved war, too. It's like a rape victim that turns into a serial rapist a few decades later - it's sad, not brave or honorable.

reply

Well said!

It's so bizarre that some of the people Liberals celebrate are some of the most vile people to hold power.

I was recently watching Bill Maher on Ben Shapiro (and Shapiro really is a weaselly snake) and Maher was heaping praise on McCain for being a "maverick" and not a "typical Republican". Somehow being a warmonger and a stereotypical political swamp creature -- in the eyes of Hollywood's elites -- a respectable Republican?

Really says a lot about Hollywood.

reply

No one will ever accuse you of being respectable, be assured.

reply

Arnold's biggest problem is he's still a narcissist, he thinks he's important but he's not. A few years ago he was all alone in his big house, because his wife left him after she found out he screwed the maid and fathered a child out of wedlock.

Arnold was so lonely he tried to post videos on Youtube that were made with a smartphone..lamest quality you can imagine. I wonder if they're still out there?

reply

Disagreeing with Republican views makes him not tough anymore? You people are ridiculous.

reply

He is still calls himself a Republican you moron.

reply

so? you can't disagree with your fellow party men? Typical trumpism.

reply

And?

reply

Starring as an interior decorator Terminator makes him not tough anymore.

reply

I agree that last Terminator movie was average at best, but c’mon, think about it, you’re talking about an actor who played a man who got pregnant and went to birthing classes in drag way back in 1994. How “tough guy” was that?

reply

The Terminator is not a comedy

reply

Neither was Junior. Well, I didn’t laugh, at least.

reply

It was meant to be. Cucking Terminator was the ultimate rub it in your face humiliation by it's leftie authors to the straight White male.

reply

Meh. I thought it had some good elements and I’m not one of those wilting flower types that turns to jelly every time a woman holds a gun or the sacred Straight White Male (🙏) isn’t the centre of attention in a movie. That cry baby stuff seems kinda sissy to me.

But yeah, it’s not a great movie, but tell me what 125th entry in a franchise is?

Nobody is. Women have been kicking ass in movies for decades and nobody has complained. It's only when they push it over the top that sparks a backlash like having a 90 pound 5 foot lipstick Latina be the leader of humanity. People don't like politics being shoved into their face when they just want to be entertained.

Spider-Man: No Way Home seems to disprove your point.

reply

I’ll trust your spidey senses, I haven’t seen it.

reply

Well I haven't seen it yet, either. I'm just going by box office returns, critical reception, and fan reception, which all seems to be positive, and the opposite of the trajectory of the Terminator franchise.

It was just to point out that franchises with long legs can still stand if they're written and depicted well, even when franchise fatigue should have set in (especially with Spider-Man, I think he's been in almost as many or more movies than Batman over the last 20 years?)

reply

Well okay, but surely we can all agree that if true, that’s an exception to the rule.

Although you make a reasonable point because, come to think of it, Into The Spider-verse was an outstanding film. I do think that Spider-Man has the distinct advantage of being part of the unstoppable Marvel behemoth though. The public eats up whatever it’s served with those films. Even Black Widow did well, despite it having the same criticisms that are levelled at Dark Fate, the whole “oh my God I’m being preached to and I’m having a nervous breakdown about it” reaction from the same eternally pissed off portion of the population.

Haven't seen that one either.

I do think that's part of it, but a lot of it has to do with the films actually having to stand on their own. For instance, there have been more misses (at least critically) with the X-Men movies than not, yet A LOT of people turned out to see Logan, which ended up being critically and publicly praised by fans alike.

Even Black Widow did well, despite it having the same criticisms that are levelled at Dark Fate


Haven't seen Black Widow, either, so I can't judge it by the merits of the filmmaking quality, but Dark Fate rubbed me wrong something fierce with the plot-holes and nonsensical elements.

• For instance, T-800s were designed to seek assistance in self-termination after completing a mission, yet Carl becomes a house-husband?

• Also, they had to have their learning AI switch turned on to learn new things outside of the mission parameter (something that was turned off for Arnold in T2)... so who turned that on for Carl?

• Inorganic material also couldn't go through the time machine, so how did both Grace and the Rev-9 make it through since they had inorganic layers on the outside of their skin (technically the T-1000 shouldn't have gone through either)?

• And the Rev-9 could replicate, so why not just pretend to be the Mexican chick's father and have the replicant kill her from behind while they were in the factory?

Nonsensical stuff like that just irked me endlessly. Plus the incomprehensible nature of the Rev-9 were enough to make me hate the film well beyond any of the other sociopolitical topics.
