From the sour grapes file comes this, the L.A. Times ran an interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger talking about Terminator Salvation.

Now I’ve followed Arnold for most of his body building career and remember him from Pumping Iron the movie and the one thing he is not is gracious. The Governor talks about how the footage he saw wasn’t too clear, or did not make sense and was out of context for him to make a “judgment” on how he feels the movie will do.

“I’ve seen very little footage so I don’t really have a feel for it. I hope they do well, and I hope it is a huge hit.  I do hope it creates a spectacle on the screen. That is what James Cameron created.”

“With Batman and Terminator, those big movies, there’s a certain expectation and if you don’t live up to it, if the movie is not a 10, then the business will be soft, if [‘Salvation’] is pushing it forward, it will be breaking records all the time. If [director McG] has the T4 and the kind of shots that has the audience thinking, ‘Now how did he do that?’ — then it is ‘Terminator’ and you can blow everyone away and every record at the box office.”

In other words, he could care less! Arnold promotes everything that is Arnold and it must be eating away at him knowing that the franchise will go on without him. Don’t be fooled by his cool comments about how he’s moved on because he would jump at the chance of making some cool cash as the Terminator if he could. You would think he would be a bit more gracious to the character that made him a house hold name, but instead Arnold literally dumps on the footage he saw.

The article is titled Hero complex, but it should be titled Arnold says F-U to the new Terminator. Read on Latino Review readers, maybe I am being too hard on the Gov, but I still remember how dirty he can be when he taunted a young Ferrigno at the Olympia contest.

I guess it hurts Arnold to know that this time he won’t be back.
