Arnie and Shaq.

Well, I think I can beat his list, if not his wardrobe.
3 days and LOTS of Arnie films later (everything from The Long Goodbye right up until Red Heat minus The Jayne Mansfield Story and some telly stuff) while the Mrs and kids were away ended up with me putting WAY too much weight on the bench and start pumping.

3 reps, fuelled by Russian Standard, were fine, until I felt the fire in my left tricep, screamed for my mummy like a little girl, and spent the remainder of my free time with my arm tied up like some sort of sex game gone wrong.

I did manage to get at least 7 hours of sleep inbetween films though.

Anyone beat my Arnie marathon?

I watched Terminator 2 and Total Recall on the same day one time. I don't understand the question.

There was a letter printed about how some guy had a free weekend without the family around so he sat about watching some films, as you do

I had 10 days without the family so I did what any normal middle aged gentleman would do, I watched half of my Arnie collection on DVD and then, whilst under the influence of some falling down water, decided to be a hero and lift some weights, as you can tell from the timing of my previous post, I'm nearly recovered now

And watching the trailer for The Last Sand, it seems that he's already got another film in the bag, another 2 in the making, and has signed up for Triplets as well.

Bit random but I watched Collateral Damage last night. Terrible film.

Will "The Schwarzenegger" muscle his way back to the top of the action movie hero charts with his return to the big screen or will the younger generation fill the gap?

I can't see Cruise being one of those to try to capture the throne as he normally does more "thinking" in his films rather than the normal "Arnold blows shit up" angle, and I can't see Willis being anything other than a bit part in Die Hard 5 so who does that leave?

Other than Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is there any other big name star who can step up the the plate and challenge The Governator?

I don't think Thor/Ironman, etc have really challenged as they have all been portrayed as big softies inside rather than your typical 80's actioner who kicks the crap out of everything in his way, and then shoots stuff and blows up everything that's left.

And Gosling is too much the new Brad Pitt.

So it's not a question really about who will replace him, more a question of just how big an impact with he make with his next few films?
