Schwarzenegger is back!

[CeeKay]

he's already looking at 3 scripts; the Terminator isn't wasting any time  

[TiLT]

Happy days and jubilation!

[naednek]

FUCK HIM

[CeeKay]

FUCK HIM

  it'll be interesting to see how his films do in California.

[rickfc]

FUCK HIM

Was he really that bad a governor?

[Scuzz]

He sure as fuck couldn't handle the roll of governor.......

[Jimmy the Fish]

FUCK HIM

Was he really that bad a governor?

Yes, and he was worse than Gray Davis, who was so bad he didn't even finish out his last term as gov.

[farley2k]

To hear my mother's take (she lives in Roseville, CA) it was completely the fault of evil unions, and godless democratic legislators. 

[Razgon]

well, I for one welcome our new overlord actor!

[TiLT]

He sure as fuck couldn't handle the roll of governor.......

Governors have to roll now? What other crazy political rules do you have over there in the wild west?

[Daehawk]

I want a new conan. But at his age and health he would have to play the mentor role of an older Conan teaching a younger hipper guy how to do it all.

I'm guessing Shia LaBeouf  would play the younger one. He gets all those parts.

Yep, it's all d20's.

I wouldn't say he was worse than Gray Davis but he sure went from having everyone's hopes to dashing everyone's hopes. Arnold was the prime example of ego and noteriety thinking it was more important than substance. Arnold was impotent since losing several votes he pushed about 4 years ago.

Of course having a socialist legislature didn't help.

Getting fucked by Enron didn't help Davis much either.

You do realize that there is already a new Conan movie well underway in development, right?

[kronovan]

FUCK HIM

The Vancouver film industry says double "F#$!  HIM" to him.

Strangely for someone that can't do his job, California reelected him. So maybe he did something right.

Hell, the whole country did it for Bush.

the alternatives were worse....which is why California is in such dire straights...

that and the socialist legislature.........

Face it, you live in a socialist state (well, 55+% at least), at least by your criteria. 

You are right tho, the alternative was worse - Angelides was such a tool.  Westley might have been good, if he could have gotten past Angelides.

However, nobody was going to do well the past few years.  Cali's gov't is too dependent on income and property taxes.  If both get nuked (like they did), it's a clusterfuck no matter what you do.

If Schwarzenegger hadn't killed Gray Davis's Car Registration Fee the state would have had an extra $6 billion/year and would not be having it's current financial crisis.  Unfortunately California voters (like most American voters) is fully convinced that they can have unicorns, rainbows, and tax cuts without service cuts whenever they want.

How would an extra $6 billion prevented our current $20+ billion deficit.....?

And if we had the extra $6 billion the socialist legislature would have spent it anyway........



The facts are the state budget almost doubled  (from $60 +/- to $110 +/- in just a few short years) and when the economy crashed there was no way the state could keep up the spending OR tax enough to make up the difference. Once you establish a state program with a level of bureaucracy it is very hard to get rid of it.

Sssssh.  Don't ruin Daehawk's LaBeouf fantasy.

$6 billion / year helps a lot.  It's always possible the legislature would have spent it anyway.

Aaaaaaah, politics make the imaginary baby Jesus cry!

What is best in life?

To crush your budget, see it driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the voters.

How many terms? FAIL.

[CeeKay]

now he's looking at 15 scripts.  I hear there is one where an actor accidentally gets voted into the Governors office and hilarious hi jinx ensue

I understand Charlie Sheen is putting Major League 3 4 together.

[CeeKay]

it's official:  his first film back will be The Last Stand.

Schwarzenegger will be starring as Sheriff Owens, a man who has resigned himself to a life of fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction after leaving his LAPD post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with failure and defeat after his partner was crippled.   After a spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy, the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the hemisphere is hurtling toward the border at 200 mph in a specially outfitted car with a hostage and a fierce army of gang members.  He is headed, it turns out, straight for Summerton Junction, where the whole of U.S. law enforcement will have their last opportunity to make a stand and intercept him before he slips across the border forever.  At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately accepts responsibility for one of the most daring face offs in cinema history.

[CeeKay]

damn, not only is he doing Last Stand and Expendables 2, he's in talks for another film already: The Captive.

Is that about how he held CA state workers captive?
