Ahhhh'll be back! ....and he is. Arnold returns to the silver screen.

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. Is it a porn about fucking over the people of California for Enron?

#TrueStory

[Ellipsis]

2. In a way. link fixed

[freshwest]

5. No, see the link below to get something good done.

[Ellipsis]

14. Art imitating life imitating art.

[freshwest]

15. Did you see the Sierra Club link? About pollution? I could post the Seagal clip on that.

[Kali]

28. hey, why so hostile?

freshwest was just trying to provide info

I think there has been a miscue on intentions here.

[Ellipsis]

29. I bow to the goddess.

[Kali]

32. wish I could get that kind of action with my kids

thanks for the "fix" - it can be hard to tell what people's "tone of voice" is in print, I just know freshwest as a very kind DUer

[Ellipsis]

33. heh.

It was the sequence of the posts freshwest posts the one above being the last... I misread passion for chiding 'tis all.

Keep those chickens and critters happy.

[Kali]

34. that is pretty much what I figured - sorry to butt in

it's all good

[Ellipsis]

35. Glad youd did. You butt in any time you want.

[freshwest]

3. Sierra Club link about the Koch brothers vs the EPA on the video. More important than Arnold...

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The EPA is considering historic new standards for air pollution, but billionaires like the Koch brothers are spending big money on D.C. lobbyists to block these reforms.

These new standards, supported by President Obama, would place limits on industrial carbon pollution from power plants. But the Koch brothers and their billionaire buddies are trying to block these vital new public health safeguards in order to keep dumping unlimited amounts of industrial carbon pollution into our air.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

President Obama & the EPA need you to voice your support for new standards. Enacting these standards would help level the playing field for clean energy, and hold industrial polluters accountable. Show big polluters that their multi-million dollar lobbying campaign can't buy them the right to pollute our air.

The EPA is accepting public comments before deciding whether to close the loopholes that allow companies to pollute the air we breathe.

This is your chance to make your voice heard.

You can sign on to the statement below, or leave your own comment, by filling out the following form. The Sierra Club will deliver your message to the EPA.

6. Yah!

[Zoeisright]

4. Barf.

No thanks.

[Archae]

7. What the hell is it about?

All I see are random shootings, cars blown up and car chases.

[Ellipsis]

8. I can't beileve he's actually doing a film I was at IMDB looking for Tony scott post production info

...and it popped up on the cover page.

Looks absolutely hideous. I'm imagine they're courting the the terminator cult.

[Archae]

9. I like Terminator 1 and 2.

Three was terrible, and Four was pure drek.

[flamingdem]

24. 1 & 2 were masterpieces - 2 was a total breakthrough in Visual Effects

at the time.

I liked Ahnuld in Total Recall and Running Man too.

[flamingdem]

13. It's about an aging sheriff who finds himself in a conflict and

shows that he still has the Right Stuff by blowing away multiple baaad guys.

It's Ahnuld what else do you need to know? Plus a bit of Clint Eastwood

[Javaman]

27. Think Andy Taylor on steroids with a bad accent and lots of things blowing up...

and a truly horrible script.

And Barney Fife is a nervous rookie who dies a sad untimely death that reinvigorates Arnold's character to do one last thing before retirement.

*I have no idea what the movie is about, nor have I watched the trailer. this is purely off the top of my head*

[Marr]

10. Based on Joe Arpaio's bacon grease-stained memoirs...

[Ellipsis]

11. Hhhhahahaha.

Didn't see that one coming.

[flamingdem]

12. I'll give him this - Ahnuld enjoys himself and will die an old duffer at 99 or so

At that point we can finally say "He won't be back".

[Egalitarian Thug]

17. Doubtful he'll live that long, he did a lot of damage getting there, but he does enjoy himself.

In the end, that's the best we can hope for.

[freshwest]

20. And he did oppose the corporations and big money overturning an environmental law in CA in 2010.

The rest he did was may have been useless, but bless his heart, he was in over his head. Here:

Schwarzenegger defends climate law, slams Texans

Schwarzenegger, speaking before several hundred people at the Commonwealth Club in Santa Clara, said the proponents of Prop. 23 are attempting to subvert the democratic process using scare tactics. He likened the campaign to a shell game hiding what he said was the real purpose: "self-serving greed."

"They are creating a shell argument that they are doing this to protect jobs," the governor said. "Does anybody really believe they are doing this out of the goodness of their black oil hearts - spending millions and millions of dollars to save jobs?"

Schwarzenegger said AB32, which he signed into law in 2006, will create jobs by allowing California to establish a "green economy" featuring solar energy, hydrogen power, bio-energy and a renewable electricity standard that will provide "the seed money for the world's energy revolution."

I find it interesting the video embedded the anti-Koch ad, calling for people to petition the EPA to support Obama's anti-pollution measures.

[flamingdem]

22. I am softening my feelings towards Ahnuld

as a Californian I hated him up until lately. But.. now thinking of him with his Salvadoran housekeeper and Maria and all the crazy Republicans who hated him, he just seems so like you said, over his head. He's baaack doing what he does best. An icon in the biz, his films impacted my career, like it or not I owe Ahnold.. He was so good in Terminator 1 & 2

[freshwest]

25. I enjoyed those two, never saw the rest. I wonder how many more films he'll be able to do.

Do you mind telling me how he affected your career? Just generally, that is, are you in the industry, anything like that?

I've known some people who were, it's a fascinating business. I had a class where part of it was to go and watch a film being made, and it was a bit disappointing, having been used to seeing the finished product with all the edits, etc.

It was when they were doing shots for Robocop outside a skyscraper, and of course... No sound. Just the equipment and actors in their costumes. And the film crews moving around. The movie magic hadn't been injected yet.

[flamingdem]

26. I'll send a pm

[Ellipsis]

16. hhahahahahahahahah... I just looked at who recced the thread.

Which one's oscar?

[petronius]

19. LOL! A rec that deserves a DUzy...

[pinboy3niner]

21. In this case, perhaps it should be a Mixed Award

Whatever that means.

[Ellipsis]

23. .

[quinnox]

30. I'm going to see the expendables 2

and he is in that too. I was a fan of his back in the day when he made all those cheesy action movies.

[Brother Buzz]

36. Could be a great flick, what with that impressive a cast of "who's who" of action movies

I saw the first expendables movie and kinda enjoyed it. I suspect Sylvester Stallone called in all his markers for this one.

[michreject]

31. I met him

When I was working at GM Design Center, before I retired, He came in with a crew to view prototype designs for his movie, "The 6th Day."

We set up a showing of most of out pre prototype vehicles.

The movie execs and Arnold told us what they wanted and we modified different models to suit their needs.

Interesting day.
