Arnold leaves Maria to pursue big-assed Brazilians?

Arnold-Schwarz-Rio

It was barely a month ago when I posted an old video of Arnold Schwarzenegger enjoying Carnivale in Rio back in 1983 (that’s Arnold in the banner picture, using his hand goggles to get a better look at a Brazilian folk dancer’s traditional tribal garb, the thong).  The video was almost 30 years old, but it demonstrated Arnold’s deep-seeded love for “mulatto ass.” To wit:

“You know something, after watching the mulattoes shake it, I can absolutely understand why Brazil is totally devoted to my favorite body part: the ass.”

It made many of us wonder how it was that this same jiggling mulatto-ass enthusiast had married one of the boniest, whitest women in America (a freakin’ Kennedy!).  The question seems to have proved prophetic, as Arnold and Maria have officially announced their divorce.  The announcement doesn’t say so, but we can only assume that the split came about partially for ass-related reasons. We repost this video in the hopes that Arnold can get back to doing the kind of awesome sh*t he was doing before he became a boring old governor and dad — waxing philosophic on mulatto ass, teaching a pretty interpreter carrot fellatio, talking about cumming everywhere…  As his movie career heats back up, we hope this is also an opportunity for him to show up to Thanksgiving in leather pants and a giant Harley, like newly-divorced, middle-aged dads everywhere.  So here’s to you, Arnie, the best knife-wielding, ass-ogling, pot smoking, bear chucking, carrot gagging, ice-cream-loving former governor a guy could have.  Best of luck, big guy.

Scream 3 opened with $34.7 million back in 2000, the equivalent of $52 million, adjusted for inflation.  Estimates for Scre4m ran as high as $25 million, but in the end it barely opened as well as Sucker Punch.  And thank God, because I think we can all agree that the world does not need two more Scream movies, like Wes Craven had at one point threatened discussed.  Scre4m was already so self-referential that by the time they got to 6cream, it would’ve just been Wes Craven blowing himself in the mirror while filming himself blowing himself and watching the live footage on a monitor.  BRRAAAAAAAH– (*splooge*)

Weekend Movie Guide

Written by Vince Mancini / 04.15.11

Scream4-david-arquette

Well, folks, it’s that time again: Friday.  If at any time you get tired of drinking yourself into a stupor or you need a date idea and you’re not some assh*le who hikes, there’s always movies.  Here’s your handy guide to what’s opening this week.

This week’s wide releases: Scre4m, Rio, The Conspirator

SCRE4M: 10 years later, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette reunite for the next chapter of one of the films that helped make Wes Craven the wildly-overrated filmmaker he is today.

RottenTomatoes Score: 60%

Gratuitous Review Quotes:

“In many ways, Scream 4 is exactly the kind of dumb, mechanical slasher movie that Scream was talking about.” -Eric Snider

“A perfectly acceptable Friday night, Scream 4 delivers plenty of scares without consequences, murder without depth, and a flood of legacy laughs.” -Laremy Legel, Film.com

“Scream 4 feels to me like the most direct sequel to the first film, both thematically and stylistically, and I think it’s one of the most confident films in Wes Craven’s filmography.” -Drew McWeeny, Hitfix

Armchair Analysis: As you can see, plenty of people who I like and generally agree with (like Drew and Laremy above) seemed to love this movie, but with all due respect, they must’ve been f*cking high.  I can understand people not liking Your Highness if they’re not into fart and penis humor like I am, but I’m baffled by the decent reviews for Scre4m. It is awful.  Every scene is one enormous plot hole, and all you’re left with besides that is I-can’t-believe-this-isn’t-parody scenes like the Token Fat Black Guy (played by Anthony Anderson, another cliché) shouting “DAYAMN!” and obnoxious self-referencing.  Was it the mere whiff of pretentiousnouss that people enjoyed?  I don’t get it.  I hated it so much I literally yelled at the screen. If I’d had a sandwich I would’ve thrown it.
