“… And so then it turns out that Terminator secretly had a kid ten years ago, meaning Terminator could be his own father! Then Skeletor gets angry and wants to fight him!” – Butters
“No, dude, that’s not the trailer for Terminator 5. That really happened.” – Kyle
“Skeletor’s real?!” – Butters
“No, dude, that’s not Skeletor, that’s Terminator’s wife.” – Stan

What's he going to do, un-birth his out-of-wedlock son? He can't do anything to fix his situation at this point, he's made his bed. He may as well deal with the consequences and get on with his life FFS.

Is anyone really going to miss him at this point?

The man is no Sean Connery or Liam Neeson.

He was the greatest action star in the history of the Hollywood movies. When he stopped doing action movies the genre itself dried up and went from record-breaking blockbusters to b-rated irrelevancy.

You know, this time off shows guilt, remorse, a human side. I don't like it. He should have made an awesome movie that would allow his fans to cheer him even as his detractors would hiss at him. I truly think he could have gotten away with this in the court of public opinion.

Please, don't lift up the skirt anymore

Photo must be 10 or so years old as she doesn't look anywhere near as bad as now but in my eyes, still "DO NOT WANT!"

Arnold Books 'Last Stand': Western To Test Schwarzenegger's Post-Scandal Popularity

EXCLUSIVE: The Lionsgate project has been off, then on, then off, and now on again. The studio in May had been on the verge of announcing that Arnold Schwarzenegger was starring in its long-in-development Western titled Last Stand, set up as the English-language debut of director Kim-ji-Woon. Then the actor pulled out just before his personal scandal went public and deep-sixed his marriage to Maria Shriver. But now the actor is back in the project and aiming to test his popularity post-divorce. I've learned that Arnold's deal with Lionsgate is not nearly as rich as the one CAA made for him in QED International's Cry Macho, which was a $12.5M salary plus 25% first dollar gross back end. (See my previous, Schwarzenegger Closes Next Film: Worldwide Rights Will Sell At Cannes Fest) Poor Bill Block brought that project to Cannes in the middle of Schwarzenegger's scandal and now it looks to be dead or at best delayed until February 2012. So now Last Stand would start in September of this year. "It's a property which a zillion directors fell in love with: the good, the bad, the weird," a Lionsgate exec told me when I first heard Schwarzenegger was in. "It's an old-fashioned Western specifically designed for a 63-year-old broken-down guy with a moral decision whether Arnold decides to stand up for his town. We always needed an iconic figure for it." When I asked Lionsgate if Arnold is still a star despite the scandal, an exec assured me, "I can tell you from The Expendables it was electrifying when Arnold came on. He is still a big piece of news."

Liam Neeson had been attached at one point, but he kept pushing it back as his schedule grew more crowded. Ultimately, Lionsgate moved on. Arnold then fell in love with the movie several months ago, and Lionsgate spent the ensuing time snagging a director. The studio had already pre-sold the $30M-budgeted movie overseas with Liam so will tell its partners about the switch shortly.
