This one line:
failing to regain his mojo with Starship Troopers (which, while awesome, hardly scored at the box office)
... makes the whole article suspect.

The good stuff didn’t come along until 92, when the Bush era was coming to a close. 89-92 were the WORST years for music, TV, and movies in my life.

You nailed it right on the nip. You’d have to be a boob not to have seen that he milked it.

...not unusual to see girls like that near Seabrook, New Hampshire. Not as good looking, of course...

I didn't see it in theaters, I think I rented it or saw it on TV, possibly after seeing "Basic Instinct".
The special effects were great for the time.
I have the novel in a box in the basement. I never got around to reading it. I should dig that out.
I remember people complaining about the science of it being stupid and that the only way it worked is if the entire movie were actually a delusion brought on my an embulism and he actually was going to be lobotomized.

When Schwarzenegger was really Schwarzenegger and not the RINO global warming loving crap he is now.

...not unusual to see girls like that near Seabrook, New Hampshire. Not quite; the Seabrook girls have one on the front and two on the back. The guys love to slow dance with their Seabrook girls.

Alternative was the whiny, annoying, suicidal little bastard to the fun-loving party dude that was the 80s.

Alternative rock was, and is, crap.
Give me crunching guitars over whining and flannel shirts any day.

I give credit to Arnold for supporting Nixon over McGovern. Yes Nixon was a social liberal, but he hated commies. Nixon was the original RINO, thinking he could get “credit” by giving liberals things they wanted. Like OSHA, EPA, affirmative action, etc.

Total Recall is based on a short story by Philip.K.Dick called
“We Can Remember It for You Wholesale”..
Minority Report is also based on a short story written by PKD..
