Arnold's Back

Finally, the action king returns.  I've been pissed off for eight years straight.  Why?  Arnold quit acting.  Damn it.  This dude made the most hilarious action films EVER.  Some were bad (Batman & Robin), some were great (Total Recall), and some were just plain hysterical (Kindergarten Cop).  Occasionally they were all three (The Running Man).  After nearly a decade, Arnold Schwarzenegger is making his triumphant return in the new Expendables 2.

Ok, so the trailers make the new movie look shockingly bad.  Who the hell did the special effects in some of those scenes?  It looks like some kid bought Photoshop last weekend and tried to make things blow up.  And why would you show those shitty effects in a trailer?  What's going on there?  Either way, I can't wait to see the movie.  It looks to me, I hope at least, that the director and actors knew they were making something ridiculous and embraced it.  If this isn't insanely over the top, then I'm going to be rampaging through my house all weekend.

When I was a teenager I used to annoy the hell out of my friends by always talking about the movie Predator.  Damn I love that film.  Arnold, the jungle, big guns, bigger muscles, aliens, severed limbs.... it doesn't get much better.  Between that and Terminator 2, Arnold has made two of the best action flicks of all time.

Now, to be completely honest, his acting is probably going to suck in this.  I expect them to completely overdo everything, including his catch phrases.  But who gives a shit, it's fucking ARNOLD.  If walked into frame and took a crap in the middle of the movie I would still geek out. Yeah, I'm gross.  He better have a body count of at least fifty in The Expendables 2.

And with that, I'll leave you with this video.  It's the best 10 minutes you'll ever spend in your life.  Minus all of the Batman & Robin shit in it....
