It seems like a lifetime ago that we were talking a fifth Terminator movie. Benevolent heiress financier Megan Ellison bought the rights last May with a plan for Justin Lin (Fast, Furious) to direct and Arnold Schwarzenegger to return to star. Then Arnold raw-dogged a few Mexican maids, Justin Lin signed up for two more Fast/Furious movies, and the project went out the window faster than a Mexican’s panties at Schwarzenegger’s house.

Well good news, because now Megan Ellison says that the film which might not ever happen will be rated R. Unlike the last one. Which had McG directing.

@terminatorfans We can’t really tell you guys anything about Terminator BUT it will be an R rated film as God and James Cameron intended. [MeganEllison'sTwitter]

"Cookies?"

When most people do DVD commentary, they generally try to give you some interesting background on whatever scene is playing — behind-the-scenes stories, the challenges of shooting something, continuity mistakes the viewer might have missed — sort of like pop-up video on VH-1. In this clip from the Total Recall commentary track, Arnold Schwarzenegger describes what’s happening on screen so literally that watching it feels like your brain is melting. Everyone commenting on it and the person who originally put it on YouTube all swear that this is the real DVD commentary and not an Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator, and the only thing that keeps me from total disbelief of that is that it’s so completely absurd that it couldn’t have been imagined before it happened.

After a seven-year hiatus (not counting his Expendables cameo) that saw him govern a state, and fill all his maids full of jizz (ALL ZA TIME I AM CUMMING!), Arnold Schwarzenegger is back doing movies. This morning he tweeted this picture from the set of Kim Jee-Woon‘s The Last Stand. From left, that’s Luis Guzmán (one of my favorite character actors of all time), Johnny Knoxville, the Austrian Oak himself, and FilmDrunk Fan Club President Jaimie Alexander (lookin’ good, miss lady!). I like to imagine Luis Guzmán keeps pronouncing her name “High-may.”

Schwarzenegger stars as Sheriff Owens, a man who has resigned himself to a life of fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction after leaving his LAPD post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with failure and defeat after his partner was crippled. After a spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy, the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the hemisphere is hurtling toward the border at 200 mph in a specially outfitted car with a hostage and a fierce army of gang members. He is headed, it turns out, straight for Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement will have their last opportunity to make a stand and intercept him before he slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately accepts responsibility for one of the most daring face offs in cinema history. [ComingSoon]

Resigned former cop… escaped drug kingpin… Wait, is the hostage Arnold’s niece, daughter, or wife? I think the stakes would be higher if it was someone with whom he used to eat ice cream and feed deer in the forest. Communicated in flashback, of course. And also, if Jason Statham could be the drug kingpin, and the “specially outfitted car” a flash sazz wagon, this would combine literally everything that I like.

In a year that’s seen him cucquean a Kennedy and get outed for constantly ensemenating poor people (proving that his “all the time I am coming” speech from Pumping Iron was more than metaphorical), you’d think Arnold Schwarzenegger’s public image couldn’t take another hit. But now it seems the Austrian ass lover may be guilty of a crime far worse than adultery — not recognizing William Shatner, the sexiest motherf*cker in space.

Keep in mind, the following story comes from a guy who runs a website and could just be a cheap ploy for publicity, but it included pictures and sounded true enough. Writes Brian Warner of CelebrityNetWorth, who says he witnessed the encounter while eating a burrito at the Brentwood Country Mart:

Shatner was finished eating so he and his family threw all their stuff in the trash and started to get up to leave. At this point Captain Kirk sees The Terminator and his eyes get really big. As his family walks out William makes a b-line for Arnold, extends his hand and says:

“Bill Shatner, nice to see you”.

Arnold shook the hand but other than that did not acknowledge Shatner’s existence in any way. He didnt lift his head, didnt utter a word, he actually seemed really annoyed that he was being bothered. Shatner appeared stunned. I think he was expecting a BIG BIG reaction. But no, Shatner got SHAFTED big time. He got nothing. Less than nothing. It was one of the most awkward snubs I’ve ever witnessed. After a few moments of waiting for that big reaction, a red faced Shatner scurried away.

After Shatner had vacated the area Arnold’s son looked over at his dad and said:

Son:
Dad, that was William Shatner.

Arnold:
Who is William Shatner?
