Now that the mad poetry of Arnold's Total Recall DVD commentary has captured the hearts of an entire planet, let's take a look back at his thrilling repartees with Conan The Barbarian director John Milius. Will these old DVD commentaries redeem him in the public eye for that whole love child imbroglio? Yes, until his Brazilian tour video resurges in popularity. Hat tip to LightningLouie! More »

Despite its many mind games, Total Recall was a fairly linear film. You had the three-breasted woman, Kuato, and the scene where Arnold's eyes almost carom out of his melon. That said, Schwarzenegger's DVD commentary of the film is there to clear up absolutely any plot confusion you may have experienced. Listen to his dulcet, Styrian voice narrate exactly what is happening in every scene. Big ups to Hatman. More »

A fifth (and maybe sixth) installment in the Terminator series seemed like a questionable notion, until maverick producer Megan Ellison (who helped produce True Grit) won a bidding war for the film rights.

When science fiction legend Arnold Schwarzenegger leaves office as California governor in 2011, he doesn't plan to return to acting. Instead, he wants to help lead the way on climate change. That's a darn shame, because we need Arnie's Heston-on-steroids style of acting more than we need his thoughts on global warming. And to prove it, here are 10 movie moments where Arnie brought his acting A-game in the face of almost insurmountable challenges. More »

When I was a kid, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the face of science fiction, and he always freaked me out. His body was so overstuffed and sausagey, his eyes so piggy. And he seemed like the embodiment of the Reaganite swagger, even before George Bush Sr. started trying to talk like him. And yet, he starred in more big science fiction films than any other actor back then. And recently, I've been appreciating his legacy and his over-the-top performances. I just watched every Schwarzenegger science fiction movie in one giant marathon, and I've finally learned to love my Governor. More »

There's a lot wrong with Arnold Schwarzenegger clone actioner The 6th Day, but this scene is just so right. Early in the film, Arnie visits a store at his local mall called RePet, where they will clone your pet and implant the memories of your old pet "in just two hours." Christian anti-cloners are protesting outside the store. When they tell Arnie that "God doesn't want you to go in there," he responds, "Well God shouldn't have killed my dog then." Zing! Then the slick clone salesman gives him the best pitch ever. Everything goes downhill once Arnie himself is cloned, but luckily this scene is in the happy place before all the egregious pseudo-science goes down. [The 6th Day via IMDB] More »

There are so many reasons why this would be a really, really bad idea. More »
