I thought most would not prefer Arnie in Aliens much less another action movie 

... on the style and director of the film. He was good in Predator, for example. 

Best Ahnuld move ever: SEE J00 AHT DEH PAHTY RIKTURR! 

CONSIDER THAT A DIVOURSE!! 

Just got back from it. Basically, it's a Simpsons episode done as a live action film, and it doesn't carry over at all. Some really funny parts (The Walken handling the announcing chores during a remote-controlled toy robot battle was my personal fave), but the script was really faulty and confusing, and the balance was way too uneven to make the entire film an enjoyable experience. Just glad it was a matinee. 

biff,

I love that line, typical arnie cheese & charm rolled into one. 

Best Ahnuld move ever: SEE J00 AHT DEH PAHTY RIKTURR!

Its somewhat scary that this man now has control over the state of california. 

The man came from a foreign country with a few bucks and some big muscles and is now worth a large fortune. He did an excellent job managing his identity and he made a lot of money in realestate and stocks. He may not have been elected for the right reasons but I think California could have done a lot worse. 

if nothing else, his drive to succeed will help him along 

As if the professional politicians in California were doing any better. Arnold is a natural leader; optimistic and driven. Ideology is entirely secondary here. I would prefer to be fleeced by someone like Arnold than that sourpuss Davis. Arnold would never forget to include the reach around. 

Everyone just refers to him as "Arnold," whereas you felt obliged to call the former governer "Davis." People always prefer someone they're on a first-name basis with. 

...I am not my script. 

That's an interesting theory, but I think everyone says Arnold Schwarzenegger and types Arnold beause they're afraid to try to spell his last name. (I used google of course.) If someone walked up to me on the street and started talking aboit Arnold I probably wouldn't know who they were referring to. 

'Ahh-nahlld', you would get it. 

A person who has the determination, the will, the drive to achieve the heights that he has, whether it be in Body Building, Acting, whatever, I think has that special something that sets them apart from the pack. Over here in Oz, where I am, a lot of people I know think it's a bit of a joke, him being in that position. But hey, he is an achiever, whether he is any good at it or not, only time will tell. One thing for sure, he's not in it for the fame or fortune. 

and I think it's a joke, but then the appointment of bush was no less a joke. 

People from other countries care about other countrie's politicians. 

With a president like Bush, everybody all over the world have to care about US politics, especially US peoples !!!
I know that "frenchies" are not able to criticate US politics with our "thousands" of politic party here, but at least admit that it will be a pure shame if US people trust one more time Bush and its administration...
Vote for Kerry !!!! just because he practice windsurf like me ;D 

.. view "Farenheit 9/11" to be conviced 

Well since it's back onto movies--I will not watch Farenheit 9/11 because:

1. Michael Moore is a propagandist. I'm not interested in the cinematography, or his "talent" as a film maker, so why else would I watch the movie if I know it's impartial and imbalanced?

2. Wait, I don't have a second reason, and the first is enough of a reason by itself. Well, I suppose I do have a second reason: I'd rather not support someone when they're intentionally spreading untruths.

3. Oh yeah, I knew there was another reason I don't like Michael Moore: he didn't have enough respect for Bradbury to ask him if he could name the movie after Bradbury's story.

P.S. The election is a long way off, but right now it looks like I'm not going to vote for Bush, so no comments saying I'm biased, okay? 

. 

I apologize for the typo error... anyway
Even if you think M.Moore is a propagandist, even if you don't like his "poor cinematographic talent", I think his film is really worth seen... just to understand what is M.Moore's feeling about US administration politics... I agree he overdoes a lot all the related topics, but it's for him the only way to make understand some people what is really Bush administration...
Furthermore, I'm not able to vote for Bush or Kerry... I don't live in USA.. I'm french...
Oh, just one thing... you are biased.... he he he...
;D 

I'm glad you liked the movie. I'm still not going to watch it. :) 

No problem... It was just my opinion... Everybody is free to watch or not any movies he wants...
... and you are still biased ... :D !!! 

all I've seen of his is Bowling for Columbine and based on that, I agree with RPG's assessment of him as a filmaker and interviewer.

Having said that, I still found BFC to be quite good simply because the topic, the people he interviewed and some of their viewpoints were just flat out interesting.
