Jessie

I'll assume John Connor was a joke. Since if you were really John Connor, you'd be older now. But that depends on whether you're the Edward Furlong John Connor from "Terminator 2: Judgment Day", the one from the TV show, or the one played by Anton Yelchin...aka 'Chekov' from the Star Trek reboot ...in the abortion that was "Terminator: Salvation." 

I'm not even going to mention "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines." Not even Arnold can save that series now.

As a transplant to California who's lived through Schwarzenegger's political 'career,' and someone who's now watched more lame Terminator projects than good ones, I have to ask: when does the lousy stuff that someone does in their personal and professional life eclipse the good stuff in their body of work? It depends on the person. Schwarzenegger? Thumbs down.

California's a mess, and you can't even bring up "Predator" without thinking of all the lousy sequels and spin-offs. I agree with your girlfriend, John. Lying to Maria Shriver for a friggin DECADE about another baby is just the icing on the cake. The 'cake' being a dead career of has-beens, never-was's, and faded glory.

I'm a little older than Jessie, so I remember Schwarzenegger in his prime. I also remember when I started to hate him.

It was a little thing called "Kindergarten Cop", and a game called "Who is your daddy, and what does he do?" We've watched so many stars fall from grace since then. But I agree with Jessie - it sort of depends on who we're talking about. Were Arnold's movies ever even that watchable in the first place? No. But, I'm NOT about to never watch "Chinatown" again because of Roman Polanski's crimes in the 70's, as hard as they are to stomach.

With other people, it's more difficult to definitively say yay or nay. Ever since Mel went nuts, I've had a hard time watching him act like he's nuts on camera. That's especially painful for me, since "The Road Warrior", aka "Mad Max 2", was my favorite movie for two decades. Now? My framed original movie poster of it sits in the closet. But I don't want to part with it just yet.
