I agree, there's always room for arguing but where would you go with this conversation? Comparing a one line actor to people who can actually do martial arts and not just have the director make him look tough, now that's just silly. I love Arnold for his incredibly stupid but funny one liners but if I want real action, I look to martial arts.
What I hate is when people compare asian and other foreign films to Hollywood flicks. 'Oh, this movie is a ripoff from that famous hollywood film' really pisses me off when they don't realise that the foundation of hollywood films is based on concepts taken from foreign films. Hollywood films is put in one criteria and foreign films the other. You can't compare the fucking films!!! It's like "'Titanic' or 'Three Colours: Red White Blue' is better?" You don't see people say 'oh that part's taken from the french film...'
In too many foreign film reviews I see people comparing it to Hollywood films. Firstly, foreign films have a quarter of Hollywood's budget. It can actually create better shit with the lesser amount of cash.

I don't think half the toilet seats in the world are as clean as I should like; and only half of those are half as clean as they deserve. - tsubaimomo, July 26, 2010 3:00 am

actually a lot of people are trying to amend the constitution so that non native born citizens can become president. Most of those people are supporters of Arnold.Dark_Zilo wrote:if i remember correctly it was on demolition man that arnold was president of US. maybe he's after that now
asian movies are way better than hollywood
i think it's just because there is lack of imagination in there

Yeah, I beleive they should show American History X while you are in school to help end racism. The curb creaming scene is so messed up. I have seen the movie a good half a dozen or more times, and probably that scene more and I still cringe watching it.
I also agree with you about the Requium for a Dream as a way to get kids not to do drugs. Great movie. When I watch it , I start to feel like I need to call home and apologize to my family for all the stupid shit I have done in my life.

I did watch American History x in school. In summer school that is. Im pretty sure my teacher was a stoner. We watched like: Not Another Teen Movie, American History X, a bootleg version of Farenhiet 9/11
