Title: Arnold needs to stop making movies
Post by: Pet shop boys on May 28, 2017, 07:29:04 PM
Just watched  two recent Arnolds movies Maggie and Aftermath  (yes those are two movies Arnold has been in it recently) if you didn't know


Couldn't decide which one's worse !  more boring ,no action, no enough dialogue, extremely slow and quiet...in the film Aftermath;  there's an unnecessary  scene of Arnold taking a shower butt naked!  he looks like a turtle standing in two legs! no need to expose the greatest BB of all time this degraded way

Don't know what's he after at this point, but those are Low budget films even too low for Lou Ferrigno standars

There's still plenty of money in Arnold films. The new Conan and Triplets will be big money. It's alright if he's not making a string of big films in a row. He's still bankable and it keeps name in the mainstream.

That has yet to happen , I hope youre right though  about the big money box office coming up .... He's needs a hit PRONTO


don't forget, besides Maggie" and Aftermath" ; he already has SABOTAGE, Last stand, (the one with SLY in Prison forgot the name )  and some other calamities on the bag so far .



WooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  LEGACY thru the toilet

I've said this before. He's having fun. If u had the chance to make movies I bet you'd do it. Well maybe not but most would. He's still living the dream. Btw that's my wife in that movie. His wife that gets killed I mean. Just see her and the daughter in flashbacks.

"Maggie" is great, maybe you were in a bad mood (bad mood = bad moo-vie)

Agreed that Arnold should stop, though...

I agree that it's kind of weird seeing a 70 yo guy, making leaps through bullets, batting a bunch of young and big guys, even having muscles.. Maybe it should stay at just shooting action scenes, as Clint Eastwood.

Thank you!

You know the budget Arnold wants for his movies - he may tolerate a lower budget, but he prefers that they ratherbebig.

Awesome that you are at a level where you can give Arnold career advice. Just think how successful he would have been if only he took more advice from others. Maybe under your tutelage he can be even more rich and famous. I'm sure there's some roaming tribe in the Arctic that haven't heard of Arnold.

Arnold just needs to make the right movies. His next one why we're killing Gunther has him playing the world's best hitman and his rivals band together to try and take him out. Action and comedy, much more Arnold like than Maggie and Aftermath. I enjoyed Maggie though, showed arnold can act and has enough going on and a good atmosphere to be a good movie. Aftermath had just good acting,  no rewatch value whatsoever.

I don't think he made 5 millions in those two movies discussed in this thread combined though. 

He will keep coming back. That's for sure.

no. Of course it's true. She's done a bunch of stuff and has an important role in the upcoming last flag flying.

common w indies. Will go to DVD, Netflix, HBO.
I liked it. I don't even think I liked it because my wife was in it. I liked Maggie too.

Btw as far fetched as that movie seemed google it. The story is true. Plane crashed. Husband blamed air traffic controller for killing his family. He hunted him down and stabbed him to death. He's actually free now and maybe a practicing architect I think.

I'm glad you ask, because non Arnold fans (most people)  watching the film were like WTF was that about  ?   Us fans feel like he's the greatest BB of all time right there  ! so I felt really sad and uncomfortable  ...and later that night  had to get some drinks to  ease the paint and try to erase that image from my mind, and  hope Sly and Ferrigno don't  throw their larger than life image away like that for nothing in return .

I like 99% of Arnold's movies.

I thought "Maggie" was bad, but its impossible to make a hit movie EVERY single time.

Arnold's movies are still going strong.

Me too.  My personal favorite is 'True Lies'.  Great action, very funny, Jamie Lee Curtis stripping, sexy b1tch fight between her and Tia Carrere....  :o :P :D  What's not to like!?!?  Truly his halcyon moment...

But:  For some reason it appears to be perhaps the only one of Arnie's movies to have not have been treated to a blu ray update?  Given the relevance of the story - crazed jihadis steal a nuke......  erm....  ok maybe there's a reason after all....

I used to think that way too up until T3 , 2003 I think ?  While the last Stamd wasn't as bad as critics say it was. I'll say Arnold's worst movies have all come out in the past 10 years.

Adnold never had a great movie. He was in a few films that remain fun to watch, but those where all filmed in the 1980s.

Terminator 1 & 2 were definitely great movies.
Predator, Total Recall, The Running Man and Conan the Barbarian were very good movies but arguably fall short of being great.

Post by: hench on May 30, 2017, 11:45:11 AM
I dunno, I think I'd put predator in the great category,
It's ageless, stands the test of time and the ultimate man film. Honestly what could be improved on in predator,  pacing, action,  script all top notch and the cast was great.

You can say the same for Van Damme, but most of us still want to give it a screen test. I am just glad they are both still alive.

Still waiting on JCVD's daughter to do a nude spread.

Van Damme had two or three decent movies , Universal soldier was the last one .... and that was 25 years ago.


Arnold is an Icon , not only in action movies

Luckily I live in la so I can always find some quirky run down art house theater that will actually show an Arnold film so I can still see him on the big screen as all his shit is straight to video or released to some peasant country where he's still relevant.
