Leave it alone, Arnie. Just leave it alone.

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Quote"It is the greatest honor to be 67 years old and to still be asked to come back into all those franchises," Schwarzenegger told The Arnold Fans. "I'm really excited to be working on this –- to do another Conan movie, and hopefully it will be soon!"

Guess he needs the paycheck pretty badly. Who knows how many nannies he got preggers!

Though to be fair, Sly is a bit older than Arnie and doing Expendables movies like he was a young man. I bet it costs millions to keep Sly looking young(ish).

Sly is making completely new terrible movies. Arnie is f*cking up awesome franchises that I enjoyed.

And Stallone can go reboot Cobra or Rhinestone all he wants :P

HA!

Well, I admit, I did enjoy all three Expendables movies. Saw the first two in theaters, the third online. Though there's plenty of "WTF is this shite they're doing" moments in it, it's just entertainment.

Arnie, though...yeah. I might like Genisys, though. But Conan? They already tried to remake it and failed miserably. I would think Arnie has better projects he can work on. I think he did some zombie movie recently, but it was supposed to be a different take on the genre or something, I don't know. I didn't pay a lot of attention when he was being interviewed on Opie's show a few weeks back.

I tried to like The Expendables as throwbacks, but they were just too dumb.

Even if I like Genisys, it feels entirely unnecessary. So did the previous 2 Terminators. I liked that one with Christian Bale, but it really didn't matter to me one way or the other that it existed.

A new Conan has the best chance of working. IIRC the books covered him in his older years, when he was king. It might make for a decent story.

I'm just tired of Arnie dusting off his decades old work to restart his career. Another Predator reboot can't be far off.

No one will like the new Genisys...the suck is already strong with that one.

The Arnie zombie movie 'Maggie' on the other hand looks pretty decent and original.

I'll take a Conan movie any way I can get it.  As long as it's not another piece of poorly written shit featuring Momoa.


This is what worries me far more:

Quote from: articleThe actor is also returning in "Terminator Genisys" this summer and is in talks for an upcoming "Twins" reboot, "Triplets," which has already been written by Josh Gad.


Please, Baby Raptor Jesus, no!  The original Twins sucked.  Why would we need another?

Heh. I liked Twins, but I'm good with them not making a sequel. Particularly with Ivan Reitman gone.

You're really not going to be happy about  the sequel to Kindergarten Cop  - Community College Cop. :P

Nevermind. He is and he's turned into one of the Seven Dwarfs

Danny DeVito should just stick with Always Sunny In Philadelphia for awhile longer, before he dies.




;D





The bits at the end of this:  ;D





No.  We don't need any Twins-style "comedy" from DeVito.   It would be too demeaning these days.

DeVito (and therefore, Gus) looks like Grandpa Little in that pic.

Actually Danny DeVito makes me look like Manute Bohl, or however the hell he spelled it.

I enjoyed T3 and T4, but I agree they were unnecessary. (And T4 was especially unnecessary for being a vague reboot trading on constant expectations of not being a reboot.) Somehow never got around to watching the Chronicles TV Show.

The only real reason for Arnold to do another Conan movie, would be to do a grand finale "King Conan" story, with the old king on the Iron Throne trying to manage his kingdom and not doing very well because, after all, he's still really just Conan the Barbarian, and being an effective king takes a largely different skill set.

There's a whole dang series in that concept.
