Any Red Dawn fans here? I've never seen it personally, but heard it's another Arnold classic

I saw it on DVD and never once thought of it as a comedy movie.

Bah, I found Tom Arnold humorous as did many others here I suppose. But to each his own I guess.

Conan (the barbarian)...Arni was just made for that part.

Hearing the director's and Arnold comments on the DVD is just great.

I don't like him as my governor either, nor do I think he is a great actor but that doesn't matter. People don't need to be great actors when you cast them in a movie that doesn't require much acting in the first place, just a lot of muscle and silly accents, which AHHHnold does perfectly.:cool:

Meh, he's worlds better than the douchebag he replaced.

Popular opinion would seem to disagree with you, but I'll leave it at that.

Actually, popular opinion is what removed douchbag Davis from office and put the Governator in.

But he's done such a FUBAR'd job, that popular opinion is gonna toss him back out next election...

Says who? The special interest groups and unions that have such a stranglehold on politics in this state? The ones that he tried to make less powerful? Yeah, I believe those lying fools. :roll:

Gee, let me guess, you also think Bush is doing a great job, and Iraq was behind the 9-11 attacks...OK, you win then...he's the best governor any state has had, since Jesse Ventura governed Minnesota...

Nice, put words into my mouth. Thank you for that. As it happens I can't stand Bush.

Change the subject much? I guess you didn't have anything relevent to add so you decided to resort to making baseless generalizations about me.

i'm a huge fan of Conan, especially the books but the movies have nothing to do with Conan for the most part. 3/4 of it was made up and the other quarter was mixed with stuff they got from other books. the Conan movies were pretty cheesy too.

Worst movie has to he that Reality show that's on right now...I think it's called "The Governator" or something. Really bad ratings. I think it's gonna get cancelled this November.

All of his late 80s early 90s films (T2, Running Man, Commando, True Lies, etc). He was so quotable it's not even funny.
