ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER vs. CHRISTIAN BALE
A new "Terminator" movie, "Terminator Salvation," is opening. With it, we see Christian Bale stepping up to bat as hero John Connor. This all takes us back to the beginning, when "The Terminator" franchise was built around Arnold Schwarzenegger. He played a protective robot to a young John Connor. Let's put these guys side by side to see who's the real hero now.
CURRENT OCCUPATION
Arnold: Republican governor of California
Christian: Working actor who is known mainly for being in the last two "Batman" movies
FAMOUS QUOTES
Arnold: "I'll be back."
Christian: We can't repeat those kinds of words in a family newspaper.
IF HE ARM WRESTLED YOU
Arnold: He'd laugh and say, "What's the matter, grandma? Thought I'd hold back because you're a woman over 75?"
Christian: Would look really angry and intense then hire someone to sneak up behind you and poke you in the ribs.
DOES HE CRY AT SAD MOVIES?
Arnold: Yes, but only if someone right wing dies or is inconvenienced.
Christian: No, but he laughs with a snort if someone small and weak gets bullied a lot.
