A movie about the Middle Class Taxpayers in California?

Next on Arnold’s agenda -

Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in “The Spendables”

“A romantic/comedy/action thriller where our hero falls in love with the crazy antics of a liberal agenda. Our hero goes on a spending spree to impress the object of his love.”

“And impress her he does, to the hilarious breaking point of bankrupcy, lol!”

Biggest? Budget-wise, good chance. Best? Can't really bestow a final analysis without a final product.

It will never top "They Were Expendable" in my mind.

The shoot will only take Governor Arnie away from his duties for one day, and he will of course be playing himself...

Feh!

I heard on the news, Fox I believe, that Schwartzenbooger’s participation has been scuttled. He decided it wouldn’t be a good idea with the state in such a mess. He didn’t want “his people” seeing him having fun while “his people” are suffering.

He’s such a giving, compassionate soul. **sigh**

Great flick. Robert Montgomery’s character Lt Cmdr Brickley was based on the real-life Medal-of-Honor-awarded Lt Cmdr Bulkeley, who had a long and distinguished career in the Navy.
