I think Arnold’s holding out until he’s offered the role of Jorgen von Strengel in the live-action movie version of **The Fairly Oddparents**.

Arnold is too old to do action movies anymore (and they don’t make cool action movies like they did in the 80s anymore. I can’t watch the action movies nowadays for they are too dark and have to cut every 3 seconds and are too serious without the hilarious tone Commando had) and as much as I love him I don’t think he could do a serious dramatic role so I can only hope he comes back in a comedy. I really like Kindergarten Cop and even Jingle All The Way

I think Arnold should stay away from movies, except for a King Conan movie. Bring back Jerry Lopez and Sandahl Bergman for it. Have it end with King Conan’s death in battle, but a decisive win for the kingdom of Aquilonia.

I like the idea of Arnold doing work for the fed as the “green Czar”. I would really like to see him and Maria continue the Kennedy/Shriver tradition of philanthrophy.

Philanthropy is boring; he should do more movies

> Though its title escapes me, I seem to remember a drama Arnold was in along the lines of _Dangerous Minds_ and _Freedom writers_. He played a teacher in a troubled school that inspired his ill behaved class and rid the school of drug dealers. There was also a touching sub plot where Arnold had to come to terms with his debilitating brain tumor.

It’s not a tumor!

Apparently he just told Maria Shriver “considah dat a divource!”
