I enjoyed both documentaries about each of them. I thought Arnold seemed more sad about where he is now. He was always on top of everything, arguably the biggest Hollywood star at some point in time, then a governor. Had a great marriage. Now, he's is living with the scandal that happened. Sly was just focused on living. Moving back east to get the best out of life. He's probably loved living in California, but he needed something new to happen.wease wrote:Just finished Sly on Netflix. Pretty interesting. He seems to have quite a different outlook on life at his age than Arnold does.
What movies are you watching?

Wow! I felt the exact opposite. I thought Stallone was the sad one and Arnold was Mr Positivity.Anders wrote:I enjoyed both documentaries about each of them.

I wanna see both, but mostly Sly.
I agree that he found a way to be more present than Arnold in the last couple of years.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Stallone is still carrying around shit in regards to his dad. He still has a lot of bitterness towards him. (And I’m not saying he shouldn’t). Arnold seems to have made peace with all his old ghosts.

Finally a stream of Oppenheimer is available, so working through that one. Awesome so far.

Arnold also had some issues with back home, like wanting to leave it behind, and especially with his brother dying.

Those seem to have been dismissed more than five years ago, and he always denied them. Don’t think that would affect the documentary.tragabigzanda wrote:Yeah Stallone has to see how long he can outrun those rape charges for one

Do they appear in each others' documentaries? Feels like they should

and in the 90s he had so many great movies, specially T2 which was groundbreaking at the time.
I remember watching it at a packed theatre and everyone was blown away.

Yes, T2 was pretty amazing, but not because of Arnold. perhaps despite him
