Dean, I couldn't have said it better. Another fact about him is he is the first governor to get a 70% lowest rating as any governor anywhere. I will celebrate when he is out of office.

Loved his movies but hate him as a governor.
California was the 4th largest economy in the world. Now we are the 7th and still falling.

Who cares if he posed nude for a gay magazine, with a bod like his, I'd pose for anyone, for the right price. Even gay guys need some kind of eye candy LOL

Yeah Yeah Yeah. He Tells kids NOT to smoke but he flaunts the Cigar by appearing on the GQ Cover with a Big Stogie right after he told them not to. and the biggest Group of Haters (Including myself), are from the Film Industry in Hollywood, After having so much success himself in the Industry, He Sat there in His Big Office just watching the Movie Industry; "Runaway" out of California into first Canada, then Connecticut, Michigan, New Orleans, Shreveport, and Albuquerque, just to mention the Largest Group by NOT offering Incentive Tax Breaks to the Producers of Movies; They chose to move out to save Millions of Dollars. Who can blame them in a Capitalist Society. After 25 Years in Hollywood ,I was forced to shut down and Move out of State. I'm just saying what others are too Chicken to say. He isn't a 1/10 of what Ronnie Reagan was. Those were the days

Loved, loved, LOVED how everyone in that movie was psychologically unhinged, filled with unbridled, frenzied RAGE, and just ready to EXPLODE into murderous violence. (Hey, it was 1990 and everyone had HAD it with the BS of the previous decade!)

As for line 39, It was Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Or 3: Rise of the Machines. I'm not claiming to be an Arnold expert or anything, but that would make some people question the authenticity of some of the other facts lol (I'm sure it was just a typo).

Yeah...#35 says he was in 28 movies. IMDB lists 32, 33 with The Expendables, and 37 including the tv movies of Lincoln (albeit just his voice), Christmas in Conneticut, The Jane Mansfield Story, Happy Anniversary and Goodbye, along with three tv episodes and a video game.
