Bodybuilding: I have never watched any bodybuilding competition, 90% of my knowledge comes from Pumping Iron and that one episode of Malcolm in the Middle. I have no problem with bodybuilding. I do think it's a little comical, the idea of making yourself look as strong as possible, moreso than the world's actual strongest people, who are always 6'2" Swedish men with beer guts named Thor Sveribjornilingen. I know bodybuilding requires intense effort and willpower, and I actually do respect that. I basically view it as a particular type of entertainer. I'm sure that even if I became a bodybuilder, I'd still look like a goofy stick, though. I remember in high school, a science teacher saying "anyone can study and become smarter, but not anyone can become Albert Einstein. Anyone can work out and become stronger, but not anyone can become Arnold Schwarzenegger." And that sort of says it all, the idea that Arnold is to bodybuilding what Einstein is to science. He is the face of it, and probably always will be, even though he hasn't been involved in bodybuilding since like the 80s?

Skynet: In the first four movies, Skynet is perfect. Even though T3 and T4 are terrible, they don't ruin Skynet. I said this before, but the scariness of Skynet, the threat of Skynet, is that it's an emotionless computer that just makes emotionless decisions, and it calculated that humans are dangerous and doomed anyway, and that the most efficient way to protect itself was to eradicate them all. And the scariness of Skynet is that it's correct. There's no negotiating with it, because it's correct. We do pollute the environment, we do fight ourselves, etc. The scariness is also derived from the fact that there is no center to Skynet, even the name implies that it's a series of connected computers that you can't simply shut down or blow up, and its agents, which are all emotionless murderbots, are equally immune to negotiation. That's what makes Skynet more threatening than like, I don't know, the aliens from Independence Day, who are equally genocidal monsters that want to take over the world, but very much do have a central hub you can just nuke to death, and it's what makes Skynet more unique than any other sci-fi villain. "Fighting it" consists of trying to murder the scientist who builds it before it's built, or of blowing up the lab that develops the technology its operating system uses. Of course, Skynet is ruined over time. Part of this is that every movie except the fourth just is the same thing: Skynet loses the war, so it sends a robot assassin back in time. This is actually T2's fault for establishing this precedent, but T2 gets a pass because it wasn't old yet. In Genisys and Dark Fate, it's established that Skynet just sends robot assassins back constantly with either vague or no directions; the past is just lousy with robot assassins. You'd think that at some point, Skynet would learn. Then in Genisys, someone said "we need a human embodiment of Skynet for the heroes to talk to and make threats against," and it's like, whomever had that idea needs to decapitate himself with a chainsaw. And then in Dark Fate, it's established that no matter what you do, the military will always build an AI that takes over the world and sends robot skeletons after you. You know, in the first movie, the robot skeletons made sense, because they're infiltration robots that got their skin damaged and are now just doing as much damage as they can. It's T2 (again) that establishes that the basic foot soldier of Skynet is just skeleton robots. You'd think its basic soldier would just be mustard gas or something.

President Schwarzenegger (Demolition Man): This is better than the Simpsons version for two reasons. First, Arnold vs Stallone is an established thing, so having a Stallone character do a double-take at this makes complete sense (even though Arnold should be like 95 in this time period?) and ties into that established joke. Second, Arnold doesn't actually show up. It's just a random joke that happens and is then forgotten about, not an extended scene where Arnold actually appears and tries to be funny. And especially not a fake Arnold, and it's just so baffling that the Simpsons Movie did that. Anyway, I'll say this for Stallone: Demolition Man is a MUCH better comedy than all of Arnold's comedies combined. I actually wonder if the movie would be better with Arnold instead of Stallone, but I think not. I think Stallone was the correct choice for the role, because they needed a big tough guy actor, and Arnold is only funny when he's not trying to be.

The Rundown: This isn't an Arnold movie, but for Lopen, I'll go ahead and rank it. This is an okay movie. Not the best, not outstanding, but a pretty good action-comedy. I should have said that for Dwayne Johnson: he's funnier than Arnold when they're trying to be. Arnold is vastly superior when he's trying to be serious and failing, Johnson is just sort of boring, but when they're making intentional action-comedies, Johnson does have the advantage. I wonder what like people in other countries think of American representations of their countries. This movie takes place in Brazil, where the entire country is just a crappy jungle filled with poor villages, wild monkeys, and evil corporate guys.
