Agent ONE Posted October 9, 2003 Author Posted October 9, 2003 Well you missed out on End of Days and T3.
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Well you missed out on End of Days and T3. End of Days was horrid. T3 not so much. i liked it.
JsARCLIGHT Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 ... you forgot about the Sixth Day and Collateral Damage... as much as hollywood has also tried to forget them.
EXO Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 don't forget Batman and Robin He was hot as Mr. Freeze... which was half the problem... <_>
Vostok 7 Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 don't forgetBatman and Robin He was hot as Mr. Freeze... which was half the problem... Uh... anyone remember my other post in this thread? EHVERYBAHDY FREEZE Vostok 7

yellowlightman Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Anybody seen The Rundown yet with The Rock? Pretty good movie, similar in style to the older Arnie comedy/action movies. But teh Rock comes off as a nicer guy and more of an underdog. I mention it because Arnie makes a cameo near the beginning of the movie.
bsu legato Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 BSU: Nah, not the Rock. We may not have a choice. according to DarkHorizons.com today, The Rock was Arnie's first pick for an "actor" to continue the franchise in his absence. <_<
Opus Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Please don't kill me, but I think The Rock could make a good Conan. Not an Arnie Conan but more like the Conan in R.E. Howard's short stories.
Abombz!! Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Wasn't Arnold the voice of one of the bears or another animal in Dr. Dolittle?
EXO Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 I think they're doing fine with the non-muscular upgrades. I think Ahnold had a cameo in the latest Rock flick.
Mechamaniac Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Just a thought, and this is movie related as well as Arnie related... THERE IS A POLITICAL COMMENT TO FOLLOW, BUT IT IS LIGHTHEARTED AND MOVIE RELATED, It's a polite jab at Arnie and his movie cronies. Here's hoping he doesn't name any of his past movie buddies to top government positions. I can see it now.... Lieutenant Governor - Sven Ole Thorsen Controller - Franco Columbu.
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Wasn't Arnold the voice of one of the bears or another animal in Dr. Dolittle? he was a wolf i think.

Jolly Rogers Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 (edited) BSU: Nah, not the Rock. We may not have a choice. according to DarkHorizons.com today, The Rock was Arnie's first pick for an "actor" to continue the franchise in his absence. <_< Not surprised, as they were friends (which is why Ahnuld did the cameo in The Rundown). Did anyone catch The Rock on Letterman a few days before that movie opened? He did a great impression of Arnold's accent. Edited October 9, 2003 by Jolly Rogers
J A Dare Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Anybody seen The Rundown yet with The Rock? Pretty good movie, similar in style to the older Arnie comedy/action movies. Anyone know how they compare in size (height, weight)? As someone else mentioned, I think Rock would make a good Conan too. BTW...Mary Carey would like to congratulate the new govenah... ............................
niomosy Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 How much "less"? It really depends on what you want and where in L.A. you want to live. You can be doing pretty good on 50k without any problems (at least so long as you're not looking at buying a house... if so, you'd best be saving LOTS... even condos and townhomes).
Mechamaniac Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Anyone know how they compare in size (height, weight)? Well, according to IMDB... Arnold - 6' 2" The Rock - 6' 41/2" Don't know about weight.
pfunk Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Arnold was soo much bigger than the rock in his MR universe days.. True lies awesome, I cant believe you havent seen End of days thats one of his best movies IMO. And for her posted above, I'll wait to get married and run for govner <_< Im going a little OT with this, but did anyone see Ted Nugent and those people on his ranch,,,LOVED the vegitarian. BTW did you guys notice I SUCK at spelling
Amped Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Please don't kill me, but I think The Rock could make a good Conan. Not an Arnie Conan but more like the Conan in R.E. Howard's short stories. Actually, I gotta agree. After seeing 'The Rundown', I do believe the Rock is actually a charasmatic ACTOR that is capable of doin' stuff far beyond typical meathead fare. This is no small feat, 'cause for some reason he has always bugged me... 'til now. Maybe it was the wrestling 'eyebrow' thing... whatever. Anyhow, I think the Rock'd actually make a decent Conan. BUT... now here's where I gotta put on my R.E.H./ Conan dork hat on... they better give 'im BLUE contacts. Everybody's fav Cimmerian had blue eyes... which makes sense 'cause the Cimmerians were basically the forebears of the Irish/ Scots... Still, I'd love to see Arnie as the older KING Conan someday. If only to hear Mako do the opening voice over of the Nemedian Chronicles: 'Know, O Prince...' Man that's the coolest... B)
bsu legato Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Heh...I'd console Mary Carey on her loss in the election, but she's just plain dirty.
Agent ONE Posted October 9, 2003 Author Posted October 9, 2003 Anyone know how they compare in size (height, weight)? Well, according to IMDB... Arnold - 6' 2" The Rock - 6' 41/2" Don't know about weight. Actually you will be dissapointed to know Arnold is only around 6' 10 or 6' 9. Not a big guy at all... When I met him I towered over him. My X had a good picture with him at a political fund raiser and she was almost his height.
JsARCLIGHT Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 (edited) Yikes! Agent one and his girlfriends are over 7 feet tall! ZENTRADI! Edited October 9, 2003 by JsARCLIGHT
Jemstone Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Yikes! Agent one and his girlfriends are over 7 feet tall! ZENTRADI! LOL I was just about to say that.
Agent ONE Posted October 9, 2003 Author Posted October 9, 2003 Yikes! Agent one and his girlfriends are over 7 feet tall! ZENTRADI! No no, read my post again. She wasn't tall, he is short. She was probably around 5'9.

Mechamaniac Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 (edited) Wow, I thought he was a big dude, I am taller than him in that case, and I'm 5' 11". Makes sense though, if you watched him on Leno last night, or the other night at his speech, he and Jay are about the same height. According to IMDB, Jay Leno is 5' 10" Funny how Hollywood puts a spin on things like that, as if Arnold would have to be over 6 feet tall to be impressive. Edited October 9, 2003 by Mechamaniac
JsARCLIGHT Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 So if Agent snuck in an extra foot on Arnold, does that then mean that Tom Cruize is not really 4' 9"?
Agent ONE Posted October 9, 2003 Author Posted October 9, 2003 Yikes!

According to IMDB, Jay Leno is 5' 10" Funny how Hollywood puts a spin on things like that, as if Arnold would have to be over 6 feet tall to be impressive. It started in his body building career, I think it is kind of like football stats... They make everyone seem bigger so when you look at them on TV you are in awe.

Which is wierd because there are alot of bodybuilders that are short stocky guys. Some of Arnold's old weight lifting buddies were little dudes too, so it's more or less accepted to be a stocky little dude, as long as you are HUGE everywhere else. (well, except the sac area, the Steroids tend to take care of that issue).
Agent ONE Posted October 9, 2003 Author Posted October 9, 2003 It is easier to look more muscular when you are shorter, it is just a matter of proportion. It makes me question all reported measurements, supposedly Arnold had 21 inch biceps, that is like legs on most people. And knowing how tall he is after seeing him, I doubt it.

I don't know man, look at your Austrian Oak pics, dude's biceps were MASSIVE back then, freakishly so, and I thought he was big when he did Conan, sheesh!.
Agent ONE Posted October 9, 2003 Author Posted October 9, 2003 Being next to him in person was a letdown, sorta. His presence is Jesus Christ-ish, but in every dimention (width of shoulders, height, wieght) I am bigger than him and I am no monster. I am 6' 200 Lbs. From this site: http://www.chireader.com/hottype/2003/030919_1.html Shortzenegger's Tall Tales“... My wife was at a dinner Schwarzenegger attended in Los Angeles earlier this year. How tall did you say he is? I ask. "About five four or five six," she says. They weren't introduced. So I call someone else who stood and talked with him that night. "I'm five six," she says. "He is definitely no taller than me. I think he's about five five." Six two is apparently the height Schwarzenegger decreed for himself years ago. The "official" schwarzenegger.com Web site lists him at six two; so do bodybuildinguniverse.com, celebguru.com, allmovieportal.com, and musclememory.com. Brandon dug the height out of one of Schwarzenegger's books about himself, though she might have had reason to wonder. My wife says he's no six two, I tell Brandon after tracking her down in California. "I have that same feeling," she says, and explains that years ago she was working for a paper in Kansas City and Schwarzenegger came by. "I remember telling my friends at the time, 'Gee, he doesn't look anywhere as tall as he does in the movies.'" "Don't quote me on this," says one of the candidate's political lieutenants in LA when I call, "but I think he's six two." How about five six? I'm promptly switched to a press aide. "I'm taller than five six and he's taller than I am," says the aide. "He's not five six. He's six feet tall." In 1999 Jay Mathews wrote the article "The Shrinking Field" for the Washington Post on the often exaggerated heights claimed by male candidates for political office. "Sociologist Ralph Keyes has shown that men often claim to be taller than they are," he reported. "That goes double for celebrities. Men's Health magazine compared claimed heights to actual heights and discovered that Arnold Schwarzenegger was 5-10, not 6-2, that Charles Bronson was 5-7, not 5-11, and Burt Reynolds 5-8, not 5-11." Mathews commented, "Such embellishments, to be effective, require not only changes in the numbers, but daily use of special footwear. I see nothing wrong with this." Neither do I. Think of the campaign slogan Schwarzenegger could be using: "He'll give California a lift!" Six two? I e-mailed Roger Ebert. "No way," he wrote back. "I'd guess 5-10 or 5-11."
Mechamaniac Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 Charles Bronson was 5-7, not 5-11, and Burt Reynolds 5-8, not 5-11." Arnold must have really had some image construction, and camera angles working for him. You can tell by looking at Bronson, and Reynolds that they are little guys.
Lightning Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 omg! this makes me taller than Arnold too! i'm 5-11 as well (official Air Force examination proved it!)
