I could not fucking stand that movie when I saw it in theaters. The ending was the cherry on the sundae - absolutely awful.

Okay--liking it is not the right question. I did you guys think it was good?

I have a hard time taking most of Arnold's roles seriously, though. Give him a Terminator, and it's fine, until he starts having to show signs of emotion...but everything else I've actually sat through--he was really unenjoyable, and the scripts and costars, etc, just couldn't make up for the sucking vacuum (no reference intended) that is his presence.

Saw 21 Jump Street tonight, laughed a billion times. Recommended! Also, Channing Tatum, quite funny! ita, you will love it!!!

I had to check the datestamp to make sure this wasn't an April Fool's (haven't seen it myself, just didn't expect that much enthusiasm about it).

Never seen Total Recall.

I enjoyed Total Recall and would say it was good for an Arnold movie. The plot was more interesting and twisty than his usual kill a lot of people while spouting one-liners affairs.

Then again, I also really liked Last Action Hero, which a lot of people panned, so who knows?

I thought Total Recall was pretty cheesy when it originally came out and have not bothered to rewatch it. I enjoyed it somewhat but only because I liked big budget dystopian Mars.

I loved that movie too, but I haven't seen it since I was a kid.

As has been discussed here in the past, there are not-so-secret Hudson Hawk fans amongst the Buffistae.

So Cheezy Early 90s Action Films have their adherents.

I could not finish "Last Action Hero." Didn't like that one either.

ita, if it isn't clear: I hated Total Recall and thought the movie was trash. Although, I have seen worse movies since, so if I rewatched, I probably wouldn't hate it as much as I did when I was 20.

Oh, trust me. There wasn't much room between your lines. They were all filled up with the same sort of feelings I have towards the movie myself.

I've read a lot of "the perfect Total Recall has already been made! Why is Hollywood doing this????" whereas I'm thinking "Maybe the story is inherently flawed because the first time round sure sucked..."

But there's no need for it to take the same things from the Dick work that the first one did, and judging from the chapter I'm reading now, plenty of things flipped between on and off the table, and it even has an unpopular novelisation written before the final cut of the movie, so it makes the ending more straightforward.

bon is trying to convince me I shouldn't dislike actors' work. I don't see why I'd need to enjoy everyone's everything, and it's not like I owe Channing anything. He'll be okay, and so will I if I never see the flick.

I always thought Last Action Hero was badly promoted. It wasn't so much an action movie as a move about action movies. The bits in "real" LA were great. "I've just shot a man, does anyone care?" "Shut up down there!"
