True Alphas, they probably boned those 2 women behind them straight after then did 20 sets of squats.

maybe its just me, but that picture just looks sad

without plastic surgery and hair plugs, those 2 would look quite different today.

Yep, sure must suck being worth 100's of millions of dollars and looking better than 95% of guys their age in the whole world...and being two of the most famous people on the planet. Damn ...that is sad!
-
most of tough guys in the movie are over 50s old ;D
-

Plastic surgery for sure. But hair plugs?
I think both of those guys are just lucky to still have their hair at this stage of their lives. Not everyone goes bald when they get older, you know.

I see two B movie actors that had a ton of cosmetic surgeries in a vain attempt to keep their youth (which was what made both of them famous). One is being blamed for the ruins in California while the other is attempting to combine a bunch of b movie actors to make an A movie
Arnold had his heyday, don't get me wrong. I've never been a fan of sly.

More like they toweled each other off after a jaunt in the sauna. Arnold has always been bisexual. Just ask Joe Weirder!

In a poll Bruce Willis had 80% if the vote and Sly had 5%. It was a poll for women that wanted to know who you would want to do (have sex with). I wonder who paid. And why wasn't Chuck Norris in the movie
-
haha. Arnold forced to eat good because Sly is ripped to fucking shreds. To bad it didn't show Arnold eating an ice cream sundae or some shit just to prove he doesn't need to be what Sly is.
Arnold showing some insecurity in eating clean in that photo? What do you guys think?

Insert the photo of the Matrix when he doesn't care if he's eating bugs as long as he's someone famous. :D

I have absolutely NO respect for Arnold anymore...for all I care he can keep on sucking Hollywood cock. He's out making millions on a movie instead of doing his job all the while trying to cut over 220000 peoples wages to minimum wage. FUCK HIM!

He always said he wanted to rule the world and thought most people on it were garbage.

Lol I think you my friend are without reason, you hate on obama, and his socialist politic's then when Arnold trims socalist spending you still complain.

coach = brutal small man complex
Are you saying he's probably owned a large 4x4 truck with a lift kit sometime in his life?

Arnold is probably doing more for California by promoting Hollywood at Sushi dinners than sitting in the office reading law texts.
You're really not much into politics, are you?

Holy crap! These guys just can't win with you. If they allowed themselves to get bald, fat and wrinkled -- like the vast majority of the 60 year olds, if not most men over 45 years old, you'd give them a hard time for that.
These are two of the most successful men on this planet with Arnold being the stuff of legend. How does your life and accomplishments compared to them? How do you compare to Stallone as far as physical condition?
-

Theres a ton of people more successful. You really can't think that Sly is "one of the most successful men on this planet" can you? I havn't finished my life and my accomplishments yet; will i measure success by comparing it with those two guys in that twitter pic? Nope. I don't compare to Stallone as far as physical condition. The guy has lifts in his shoes due to insecurity about his height, he wears a wig, ton of surgeries, and is juiced as much as he can be so that he can still feel like an action movie star. Ever notice how Sly throws a couple of shadow punches on interviews and tv shows and does the little boxing thing where he puts his fist up against someone's face for a publicity picture? It's like he thinks he is a real boxer because he once wrote a script about one 30 years ago (and played him in the movie). It's sad.
Arnold was once living a great life don't get me wrong. He could do whatever he wanted, fuck as many girls as he wanted, and had the charisma to back it up, and still could win any contest he wanted. But I just don't see the same Alpha Male thing in him. It's like watching Letterman now versus letterman in his heyday. Sure it's the same guy, but now it seems that he's more likely to be at kids birthday parties eating cake instead of living on top.

I stopped reading at "a ton of people more successful." Sly/Arnold top fraction on the top one percent. Compare you at your age to them at the same age and then we'll see you at sixty. LOL!

Its you
LOL! So true. Weird guy this Magoo. No matter how successful and accomplished a person is he'll always find something to ciritcize. I wonder how great he is?

This is absurd. Arnold is the epitome of the American dream and one of the most successful people in the world - probably in the top 100 of his generation. He forged his own way and has travelled farther than 99.999999% of the people in the planet - from humble beginnings in Austria to #1 bodybuilder in the world to top Hollywood star to now the governor of California. Something like that is next to impossible for just about everyone, save maybe a handful. What Arnold did is way more harder and laudable than say, some guy "merely" going to university and getting a string of degrees to become an academic, although the latter isn't something to be sneezed at either.
Sure he had / has his faults and his skeletons in the closet - who doesn't? You don't get to the top without ruffling some feathers and none of the negative traits you've pointed out (some of which aren't even necessarily true) take away from the accomplishments of either of those 2 guys. They are the stuff legends are made of.

Sly and Arnie were bitter rivals in the 80s but are now close friends and dining buddies. ;D

Dude, you don't cut spending by taking peoples lively hoods.
-
the idea of Arnold having hairplugs is ridiculous, his hairline looks the same as always but slightly receeding on both sides. Slys hair sometimes looks a bit suspect especially with some of the hairstyles he has had.
The Expendables was great, alot of humour thrown in with good action which was believable unlike movies like the transporter.

Isn't one of the huge problems in California, as well as the rest of the country, the size of government? California, as well as Hawaii, are in huge debt due in a large part to the amount of people in the government work force as well as the unbelievable retirement, pensions and other benefits they receive. All at tax payers expense. Remember, a government job does zero for the economy as a whole. In fact, it is a net lost because these people are paid with money taken out of the private sector. If we all worked for the government nobody would get paid because no income would be generated. What the government gives to one person they've take from someone else.
Government workers should not have their pay cut. The amount of government employees should be cut. Government jobs should be reduced. The size of government is just too big and keeps getting bigger.

As a Californian myself, the reason this state is fucked economically is because of the unions. end of story.

True. You hit it right there. Same here for Hawaii. Very few unions in the private sector and still shrinking. Not so in government. After I posted I meant to put that in as the reason why government workers make more money, get better benefits and pensions you would never get in the private sector. Unions seem to be a touchy subject for many, especially if you are in a union. Because it's great for you. Like it's great if you live in a rent controlled district. Or a State with a high minimum wage. Or if you are receiving government handouts or subsidies. It's always great for the someone who can live and benefit at someone else's expense -- until the money runs out. Look at Europe.

psychology 101. Passive Aggressive people are some of the most insecure people on the planet. And Arnold is known to be one of the most passive aggressive person to walk the earth.

arnolf looks like crap, he should follow stallone's lead and self medicate like he used to. i know i know arnold got millions and millions, so stop trying to be an acction star.

What's up Magoo, normally you aren't this stupid....
Just name a few people that are more successful than those two...
And you are wrong on another count, Sly may not be A boxer, he is THE boxer. I bet more people have watched Rocky than a Muhammad Ali fight. When you mention "Boxing", 9 out of ten people will say rather "Rocky" than "Tyson".
A lot of people love Sly for Rocky, that's why he throws punches on talk shows. Everytime he does, he sells more Rocky DVDs and makes more money. Sly wrote a script about a boxer, and he even made his whole life look like a reference to Rocky: Never give up, always give your best. THis is inspiring to a lot of people all over the world.
I think that alone is quite an achievement...
btw. thanks to Kiwi for summing up Arnold. Right on all counts.
-
Dude, you don't cut spending by taking peoples lively hoods.
True. So then, you must agree that the Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush plan of outsourcing American manufacturing jobs was a really bad idea. And that the Reagan-initiated busting of unions for the sake of taking away workers' rights so that their jobs can be outsourced without strikes is equally bad. And that cutting unemployment insurance, which goes to those whose jobs have been outsourced so that corporate profits can be increased, is also a terrible idea. That would be cutting spending by taking away people's livelihood for a second time, after outsourcing took it away the first time.

What's up DonkeyKong? Normally you aren't this brilliant. ;D
What's up with this Magoo guy? I didn't mean to say that they are two of the most successful men on the planet (though a case can be made for Arnold as he'll make history and probably be remembered long after Buffet or Trump) but they are top of the top of the top.
At 27 years old when Sly wrote his script for Rocky he was offered a couple of hundred thou for it (and that was over 35 years ago so maybe 750 grand today). Now he was a nobody and was dirt poor but he turned it down and went at himself. That's pretty fuking ballsy.
And neither can get a break. Someone here on this thread says Arnold looks horrible and should get back on hormones like Sly. But then people bust on Sly saying he's all drugs, hair plugs and plastic surgery. I remember when Stallone got fat for that movie where he played a Sheriff and people were saying that's the real Stallone. Fat, double chin, droopy eyed old man. So if if he takes care of himself and tries to look the best possible it's just a fake facade but if he just lets himself go then that's the "real" Stallone. One guy on another thread criticized Stallone has not being strong and using mostly machines instead of free weights. And Arnold as being passive aggressive because he has a picture taken of him eating clean??? What he was eating, and I don't know how you can determine if it's "clean", never even registered in my mind and I doubt it does with the general public but someone here can offer a psychological profile of the man by what he's eating. I'm sure if it was junk food he would be criticized as not giving a crap anymore and looking like shit.
And Arnold, at over sixty years old, and he looks like crap? Compared to whom? Well, maybe Stallone but I'd like to see what some of the fathers of the board members here look like. Palumbo is 45 and Kovac is 42. Richard Gere, who is two years younger than Arnold and hasn't had his congenital health problems, I read recently is considered one of the most attractive men over sixty. I guess. I'd still go with the Australian Oak.

I'm always this brilliant, i just don't bother to post more serious stuff very often. ;D ;D

I kinda get pissed off with this "XXX has achieved nothing" attitude on getbig. In the beginning, this was aimed at people like Derek Anthony, King Kamali, Greg Valvolino and other shitheads that behaved like they were the rulers of this planet.
But lately, on getbig everyone has achieved nothing, Stephen Hawking is an idiot, Rockefeller has no sense for business, Arnold looks like shit and so on....
It was fun for a part, but it's not so funny anymore... and when i say that, you know what's on. ;D

Congrats to Sylvester Stallone for his success with The Expendable this weekend! He's the only actor to have a top weekend movie every decade for the last five decades! Show your love for his films with the Rocky Product Creator!
I guess that's nothing as well on getbig...
What getbigger DIDN'T have at least 3 top weekend movies in the last century?

Sly and The Oak are two true alpha males....Glad I grew up in that era...I wouldn't have the dog eat dog mentality without it....This liberal sissy boy not wanting to offend anyone attitude that these fags have these days is ridiculous!

Yes, you have to count the 80s twice because they were so important.
Count again, Magoo.... 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010?
What does that make?

Thanks for the compliment. I’m actually surprised people cared about what I wrote, I wrote it at like what, 4 AM? When I think of success stories, yes I think Arnold makes a good success story and in that realm of context yes he is an inspiration. But I personally look at people like Frederick Douglas or somebody for “never give up” morals instead of a guy that started using dbol at 13 and use to hit on his buddies girlfriends and got caught for fucking a 16 year old girl while at a party (despite how "cool" that may seem lol). In the context of bodybuilding, yes Arnold has the number one success story, but I think it’s a big jump to take that and apply it to the rest of the world and say Arnold has the best success story period. That’s my view on Arnold.
On Sly I have a very different view. I don’t know why but I’ve never had respect for him. I personally think every rocky movie after the first one sucked (I know them all word by word so yea I’ve seen them a lot). Sly is not a boxer, period, he only played a boxer. That’s like looking up to a guy that played a soldier on TV. Sure he may have given an okay performance, but come on, it was just a performance. Didn’t Sly do a porn movie the year before he filmed rocky?

Actually Magoo, if anyone respects Sly as a boxer that is just stupid, plus Sly robbed the screen play idea from the real rocky by the way. He did however , put his everything in the films and made them classics....Now you talk about arnold and just using dbol and being a ladies man to become who he is.....Come on man, the guy had drive, vision and determination to get to where he is reguardless of bodybuilding....Don't sell someone short of their accomplishments when they made their own way....

First, Arnold was an asshole and probably still is. That's art of his persona, you can see this beautifully in "Pumping Iron".
Second, on Stallone: You're missing the point. Sly may not be a boxer, and i think that nobody admires him as a boxer, that would be stupid to congratulate him on his "win" over the brutal Ivan Drago back in the 80s.
People admire him for what the story about a boxer that comes from down low, skyrockets, becomes and asshole, loses everything and starts all over again, to finally become a better person.
When you say every Rocky movie after the first sucked, you prbably haven't understood Rocky too good. It is way more than a boxing movie, it's a complete biography of a man, and i guess we have never seen that in the movies before, a whole life of a person, played by the same actor over so many years.
Rocky is Stallone's best role, he shows what is possible when you stay hungry, never give up your dreams, work hard and even harder. That's what the people love Rocky for, and acting as a boxer Stallone just pulls up all these images in people.
Rocky is no Rambo that could take out the vietnamese and russian army alone, Rocky is a man like you and me, he is so acievable, that what makes these movies so perfect.
Nobody wants to start a war after watching Rambo, but when you watch Rocky, you want to get up and do something, work harder to fulfill the dreams that you have maybe forgotten or abandoned.
Stallone doesn't want to be admired as a boxer, when he thorws his punches he wants to say: "Look people. here i am, this is what you can become when you work hard to make your dreams come true."
To me, as much as i love Arnold and i consider myself a great fan, but Stallone and especially Rocky gets me so fucking motivated... I have said this before (and fuck the drug discussion now), what Stallone has done all his life is so much harder than these bodybuilders do and Arnold did for the movies.
Sly was always in top shape for his movies (after Rocky 2 that is), and how hard is it to maintain that ripped look for days and weeks through filming a whole movie?? He was training in the heat of the desert for Rambo III, to me Stallone is simply amazing/ I wish i had his work ethics.

Actually Magoo, if anyone respects Sly as a boxer that is just stupid, plus Sly robbed the screen play idea from the real rocky by the way. He did however , put his everything in the films and made them classics....Now you talk about arnold and just using dbol and being a ladies man to become who he is.....Come on man, the guy had drive, vision and determination to get to where he is reguardless of bodybuilding....Don't sell someone short of their accomplishments when they made their own way....
Yes he did have drive, vision, and determination. I'm just saying that I don't personally look to them (arnold and stallone) for inspiration, I think it can be found in much better forms elsewhere. Hitler had good drive, vision, and determination, and he rose to the top, yes I can appreciate and understand that, but i don't look to him for what I want to do with my life.

Well, i guess we're all out of kindergarten age here so 1st comparing Hitler to Arnold is ridiculous and 2nd i guess we all can agree on the fact that when you look for inspiration in someone, you pick the good sides and leave the bad sides.
So when you say Hitler, i guess we can agree that the man was a genius in public speeches, manipulating people and knwoing the sings of his time, but that doesn't make him a person to look up to. That should be as clear as the sea in Palau.

I was going to respond to Magoo's bullshit, but you summed it up for me DK thanks....

First, Arnold was an asshole and probably still is. That's art of his persona, you can see this beautifully in "Pumping Iron".
Second, on Stallone: You're missing the point. Sly may not be a boxer, and i think that nobody admires him as a boxer, that would be stupid to congratulate him on his "win" over the brutal Ivan Drago back in the 80s.
People admire him for what the story about a boxer that comes from down low, skyrockets, becomes and asshole, loses everything and starts all over again, to finally become a better person.
When you say every Rocky movie after the first sucked, you prbably haven't understood Rocky too good. It is way more than a boxing movie, it's a complete biography of a man, and i guess we have never seen that in the movies before, a whole life of a person, played by the same actor over so many years.
Rocky is Stallone's best role, he shows what is possible when you stay hungry, never give up your dreams, work hard and even harder. That's what the people love Rocky for, and acting as a boxer Stallone just pulls up all these images in people.
Rocky is no Rambo that could take out the vietnamese and russian army alone, Rocky is a man like you and me, he is so acievable, that what makes these movies so perfect.
Nobody wants to start a war after watching Rambo, but when you watch Rocky, you want to get up and do something, work harder to fulfill the dreams that you have maybe forgotten or abandoned.
Stallone doesn't want to be admired as a boxer, when he thorws his punches he wants to say: "Look people. here i am, this is what you can become when you work hard to make your dreams come true."
To me, as much as i love Arnold and i consider myself a great fan, but Stallone and especially Rocky gets me so fucking motivated... I have said this before (and fuck the drug discussion now), what Stallone has done all his life is so much harder than these bodybuilders do and Arnold did for the movies.
Sly was always in top shape for his movies (after Rocky 2 that is), and how hard is it to maintain that ripped look for days and weeks through filming a whole movie?? He was training in the heat of the desert for Rambo III, to me Stallone is simply amazing/ I wish i had his work ethics.
You talk about how the same actor played the same person over the years as an historic attempt to make a biography about a fictional persona that inspires millions. I look at it as a writer that’s out of ideas so he sticks to what worked the first time and tweaks something here and there so he can keep staying in mainstream media. Rocky is stallone’s best role? To me, Rocky is stallone’s only role. He took bits and pieces from real life boxers and put it together to make an underdog story and everybody bought it. I couldn’t make it past 20 minutes of the Rambo movie, so when I talk about stallone’s work, I mean rocky.
I’m glad you’ve found something in life that motivates you, even if it is Rocky. I’m just saying that to me, theres more and better stuff out there. Stallone showed up in good shape for his movies, I give him that, he prides himself on his looks very much (too much if you ask me, i.e. shoe lifts, wig, etc). Whenever I watch any of the rocky movies, it’s hard for me not to laugh at how corny they are, for example I think its hilarious how they avoided naming his son until the 5th movie. “What’s your name?” “Robin”.

It actually wasn't a fictional person by the way...Do your research

I wasnt comparing hitler to arnold. I was saying I can give credit where credit is due. And I dont leave the bad sides when looking for inspiration, I prefer to keep both. Yes Arnold had good qualities, but his bad qualities outshadowed them to me, therefore I dont think he should be praised as much as he is.

Yes, Arnold shouldn't be respected for making something of himself and bringing himself from poverty to still be a success...Chose your analogies carefully. Hitler was an amazing public speaker, but a flashpan at best....We all seen this when he chose to take his own life than stand for his beliefs, bitch move altogether.....

I see what you mean, but your rants aim at nothing.
First: So he "stole" the story? What story isn't stolen?? Star Wars may be original, but Star Wars has stolen from so many films and stories....
If you think like that, all stories written after 1000 BC have been stolen, even the Bible steals from the Gilgamesh Epos and so on.
Then: The movies are corny?? Hell yes they are, that's not the point. Please watch a movie from 2010 in 2030 and see how corny it will be then.
I don't want to fight with you, if you don'y like Stallone, that's fine for you, but your arguments are stupid. Just say "i don't like that fucker" but don't try to pull bullshit arguments out of your ass. ;D ;D ;D
-
Thanks for the compliment. I’m actually surprised people cared about what I wrote, I wrote it at like what, 4 AM? When I think of success stories, yes I think Arnold makes a good success story and in that realm of context yes he is an inspiration. But I personally look at people like Frederick Douglas or somebody for “never give up” morals instead of a guy that started using dbol at 13 and use to hit on his buddies girlfriends and got caught for fucking a 16 year old girl while at a party (despite how "cool" that may seem lol). In the context of bodybuilding, yes Arnold has the number one success story, but I think it’s a big jump to take that and apply it to the rest of the world and say Arnold has the best success story period. That’s my view on Arnold.
On Sly I have a very different view. I don’t know why but I’ve never had respect for him. I personally think every rocky movie after the first one sucked (I know them all word by word so yea I’ve seen them a lot). Sly is not a boxer, period, he only played a boxer. That’s like looking up to a guy that played a soldier on TV. Sure he may have given an okay performance, but come on, it was just a performance. Didn’t Sly do a porn movie the year before he filmed rocky?
Christ, you're worse than a fucking woman.
Is that rain cloud still following you around?

1. After reading DKs' analysis of the Rocky movies I'm gonna have to watch them all over again. Rocky 1 is a classic.
2. Anyone on this site and I include myself, who makes light of the accomplishments of Stalone or Arnold, love em or hate em, is quite frankly insecure. Period...

Whatever dude Sly is the most insecure guy in film. He has been wearing three inch lifts since 1976, and has had loads of surgery. Did I mention he acts as good as a 10 year old. His movies are a joke and so is he. Don't get me wrong i love watching them,but he's a B movie actor. There alot of more talented people in the world. Atleast Arnold has done things outside of pretending to act. Sly's like the ex captain of the football team that hangs out with high school students until he's 25.

What you say is true.
Sly, however, (and Arnold, for that matter) is a B-actor who makes movies people love to watch, and that's why he commands $25 million - or whatever - a pitcure while many "better," classically schooled actors make much, much less.

Yes, that can be said. I can imagine MAXX having a discussion with his friends at the Blue Oyster bar....
"Oh shit, i HATED the Terminator movies!! That is only action, and i expected a romantic triangle comedy along the lines of A.I., where Arnold plays a romantic roboter from the future falling in love with Sarah Connor!!
And Rambo III, that was awful!! he is running, killing people when he should make love to them and send them flowers!! There was no flowers in the movie, totally disappointing!!"

there are some losers in here, if you dont like stallone why let him occupy your little mind.
Stallone has been around since the 70's he is still here, making $20M in the 80's, Robert pattinson prays he has that longevity.
Stallone makes fun of his own career, some of you shmoes here dont have a career.

I agree with you in 99 % of the cases. There really has to be something special in the movie to keep me interested, a la Commando, First Blood, Die Hard...

I didn't mean it like that. ;D The movies I mentioned are pure action. What makes them watchable is that "something". Generic action makes me bored.

You're talking out of your ass, Commando is the most stupid movie ever, maybe Stallone's Cobra comes close. But both have great action, so that makes them great action movies.
You have good action movies and bad ones, there's nothing to argue about that a movie "that has only action" is a bad movie. It isn't.
What you guys probably fail to realize is that 90% or more of all movies actually suck big time, if you consider all movies that are made.

I think sly is more clever than arnold movie wise.
Arnold's movies are all the same basicly, just like steven seagal's and vanadamme's, but because of his social status and charisma he made the most money in all of hollywood history from movies alone. I mean he is a god afterall.
Sly in the other hand would've dropped in the steven seagal fail trap if he did the same shit in every movie, people wouldn't have cared for sly anymore. But Sly allways kept up with the times and was willing to take note of current policy's, thought processes, politics and everything. He is a movie genius and knows people and knows how to produce gold himself so he's a self taught man prety much.
I think people are realising that they can't make new movies anymore. Every topic in the book has been beaten to death and people want to go back few years when a movie came up and it was "new" and "special" so why not make an oldschool action film with cheesy one liners to take people back in time.
-
I think Arnolds movies were actually quite varied, he had good success with his comedies unlike Stallone. I think he would have done well doing a sports movie like sly did with Rocky playing a tough coach or something.
Seagal is in a league of his own with making the same movie, he's a cop or an ex something in most and the majority have 3 word titles too.
out for justice, hard to kill, marked for death, the glimmer man, fire down below, etc etc

I cant fault sly or arnie for bad movies they made in the 80's and 90's.
they were getting paid $15-$20M per flick, stallone said he made bad decisions cause of the money offered to him , hollywood is so fickle, your hot one second then a loser the next like seagal.
Stallone had flops like Oscar, Stop or my mom will shoot but he got over $15M for each movie.
Eddie Murphy still gets $20M after strings of flops, thats not his problem, thats the studios.
I remember there was a show on ESPN called best damn sports show, a NFL player told stallone he owed him $7 for watching stop or my mom will shoot, stallone paid him and told the audience to line up and he would give them there money back..that was funny.

Good post, but i think most getbiggers would turn down 15M$ for a movie if they didn't like the script. ::) ::)

Good post, but i think most getbiggers would turn down 15M$ for a movie if they didn't like the script. ::) ::)
hahahaha very true, I would'nt either hahaha.
Stallone knew that Judge dredd was going to flop when he read that script they offered him $20M to be attached to the movie, he just took it, he said the $20M was worth all the critics hammering him when the movie opened.
Over the Top, according to Keith, Stallone wanted all the cash upfront, i think $12M, which i assume bankrupted the producer (keith chime in if im wrong)
Cobra is a dumb movie, but the studio says "sly, want to do a real violent movie with no decent plot" will pay you $20M..
not to sure about arnies career, i knw he got a huge payday for T3, which sucked for the studio cause it sucked.
