![]() The future is not what was promised to me as a 7 year-old.īored with being awesome, Quaid has recurring fantasies about engaging in forbidden romance and horrific death on the planet of Mars ‘cuz, having already crushed it on Earth, what else does he have left to do there? But, despite being the definitive example of successfully applying hard-work and baby-oil to fabulous genetics, Doug literally dreams of more. When Doug isn’t demolishing concrete with power tools, he spends his time sexually pleasing his wife Lori – a 1980’s Sharon Stone-esq videogame, exercise and yoga pants enthusiast-type – and being listlessly godlike in his New-Wave apartment with his 1,000-inch flat screen TV. Set in the near-enough future, Total Recall tells the story of Douglas Quaid your average 1980’s Arnold Schwarzenegger-esq, blue-collar success story-type. And, while Commando could give my pick a gun for it’s money (he shoulders-around a freshly chopped down tree, feeds a deer ice cream with a little girl, and shoots a guy in the forehead all within the first few minutes of screentime), in my heart-of-hearts, my favorite is the Paul Verhoeven-helmed, seminal sci-fi schlock-fest: Total Recall. ![]() ![]() It isn’t even his best overall, the cinematic masterpiece that is Conan The Barbarian. The most overlooked, and underrated gem, Raw Deal, perhaps? Nope. No again to Predator, the most macho and badass film in his stock. Nor is it The Running Man Arnold’s most batshit unchained movie. That’s my favorite movie featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger. And, in honor of his recent record breaking completion of 6 consecutive decades spent kicking ass I’ve chosen to write up * a little piece celebrating my favorite “Arnie-Flick”. ![]() Preface: HOLY SHIT, ARNOLD IS 70 YEARS OLDįew actors have supplied my brain with more good times and positive memories than Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger. ![]()
