But yeah, he is having a bad moment. Surprising to see Stallone doing much better.
Agreed. Prime Arnold delivered movies on a higher average quality than Stallone, but times truly have changed.

Heh, good stuff. I read a couple pages in either direction and have three thoughts:

1. I miss LV. Come back, LV.

2. I am my own favorite RMer. I am truly funny.

3. Looking at movie showtimes in the city and debating whether I should spend five hours on the train to go see them but not ever actually going is a constant in my life.
"I'm not gonna let a machine tell me what's possible!" is still one of the most amazingly stupid lines I've ever heard.

Actually that's an interesting line. Something to think about.

yeah, Sly had the 80s and Arnold the 90s by a long shot. But even if Sly is still making shitty action movies, he is still doing A work.
Arnold seems to be out of the loop completely.

Lots going on in this thread. My two thoughts:

Commando is the greatest Arnold movie ever
Terminator Salvation wasn't a bad "new" sequel, I wish they would have kept things in that direction instead of the Genisys stuff.

Man, I love Commando. The opening montage with him and his daughter is one of the greatest things ever put to film.

yeah, commando is cool.

And i agree Salvation was the right path. They killed the franchise with the other two.

Salvation would have been pretty high on my Arnold list, just no Arnold. Someone make a Christian Bale list.

Arnold probably edged him out in the 80s as well. However, in the 70s, Sly was the best of the two.

I should watch Salvation. I actually think T3 is almost a really good movie.

Recast John Connor, take out some of the stupid jokes and you're getting there.

I love the ending, very dark.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

yeah T3 is a good sequel and the ending is actually very cool, it sets the franchise forward.

The last two are embarrassing.

I didn't see the last attempt at a reboot. Poor Linda Hamilton.

I'm in the middle of a Christian Bale-a-thon right now, so maybe I'll watch it tonight.
