5 hours ago | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Washington, May 22: Arnold Schwarzenegger has seemingly confirmed rumours that he's back with his estranged wife Maria Shriver after he was caught on video grabbing her butt last weekend.
The actor, who was attending daughter Christina's graduation at Georgetown with Shriver, can be seen cupping his wife's behind in the video footage, TMZ.com reported.
The 'Terminator' star has always been obsessed with Shriver's butt since he met her in the '70s and he recently told a story on "60 Minutes" about how he told Shriver's mother her daughter has a "great ass". (Ani) »

Be Back for ‘The Last Stand’ Drinking Game
21 May 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger did say he’ll be back. In fact, he said it in pretty much every movie he did after The Terminator. It lasted well into the 90s. Now, he really is back as small-town sheriff Ray Owens in the action film The Last Stand, and he is the only thing standing in the way of a ruthless drug cartel kingpin escaping to Mexico. The Last Stand was a bit of a flop in theaters. (Okay, let’s admit it: It was a huge flop in theaters.) However, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad film. It’s one of those entertaining popcorn movies that actually works well for home viewing, and it’s small-town charm lends itself to being watched with a beer in hand. While this won’t live on as one of Schwarzenegger’s greatest movies, The Last Stand is still a lot of fun to watch and offers a cool »

Cinema’s Greatest Villains: The 1970′s
19 May 2013 4:43 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Recent hot cinema topics such as the portrayal of the Mandarin character in Shane Black’s Iron Man 3 and speculations about what classic Star Trek villain Benedict Cumberbatch’s character in J.J Abrams’ Star Trek: Into Darkness was modeled after leading up to the film’s release, among others, underline the importance of great villains in genre cinema.
Creating a great cinematic villain is a difficult goal that makes for an incredibly rewarding and memorable viewer experience when it is achieved.
We’ll now take a look at the greatest film villains. Other writing on this subject tends to be a bit unfocused, as “greatest villain” articles tend to mix live-action human villains with animated characters and even animals. Many of these articles also lack a cohesive quality as they attempt to cover too much ground at once by spanning all of film history.
This article focuses on the 1970’s, »

Arnold Schwarzenegger in Talks to Play Major Role in ‘Toxic Avenger’ Remake
16 May 2013 5:44 AM, PDT | Destroy the Brain | See recent Destroy the Brain news »
I f**ing love the internet. Everyday I’m fascinated on what may be sitting in my inbox or my daily news feed in regards to our world which thanks to the internet is awake 24/7. So of course I was pleasantly surprised when I woke up in the wee hours of the morning to take out the dog and decided to glance at my phone. I saw something about Arnold Schwarzenegger in talks to star in the remake of The Toxic Avenger. I immediately rubbed the newly formed sleep out of my eyes and gave a double glance. “Who is relaying this nonsense”, is the first thing to came to mind. Why in the hell would the former action mega star slash Governor of California want anything to do with the beloved tale from Lloyd Kaufman and crew? After searching a little more I found a clearer answer but not a definitive one. »

Crowdfunding Friday: mice, monsters and a Christopher Walken dinosaur

Here's a fresh batch of worthy, geek-friendly crowdfunding projects that have caught our eye this week...
The best part of putting together this weekly crowdfunding column? While trawling through the dozens of ideas that appear online every day, we stumble on all kinds of weird and wonderful things.
Some ideas are semi-practical - a new kind of flip-flop with soles made from astro turf, for people who want to feel as though they're walking on grass all day long - while others are downright strange - such as a set of tabletop gaming figures shaped neat like little human backsides.
Some ideas are commercial and enticing enough to sale past their funding goal - a zombie Lego Batman mash-up animation's already doing well - while others are rather more niche - we spotted a strip poker text adventure, which has, unsurprisingly, attracted rather less interest so far. »

Arnold Schwarzenegger To Star In The Toxic Avenger Remake As “The Exterminator”
15 May 2013 9:40 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Action hero turned Politician Arnold Schwarzenegger is in talks to bring Troma classic The Toxic Avenger back to life, according to a report over at Deadline this week.
The reboot will be directed by Hot Tub Time Machine’s Steve Pink who has also co-written the script alongside writing partner Daniel C. Mitchell. But for those of you hoping the former Terminator star will be appearing as the tutu wearing anti-hero himself will be most disappointed when we tell you big Arnie is in talks for a less prominent, less mutated and let’s face it less ridiculous role.
According to Deadline, Schwarzenegger will play a character called ‘The Exterminator’ (so clever Hollywood) who mentors the titular hero after he is transformed from a geeky janitor into a superhuman creature after being dumped in a cannister of toxic waste by a group of local high school thugs.

'Toxic Avenger' Remake: Will Arnold Schwarzenegger Take on Troma?
14 May 2013 8:51 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
What's weirder, that the former Governor of California might appear in "The Toxic Avenger," or that there's a 21st Century remake of the freaky underground favorite in the works? The original "Toxic Avenger" was a low-budget, gross-out comedy about a nerd who mutates into a gnarly superhero and takes on the bad guys of Tromaville, NJ. Although it's not clear which part Arnold Schwarzenegger is in talks to play, this is indubitably an odd move for the former Terminator. Heck, it's an odd move to reboot this for today's audience, even with an updated story: to wit, "an average teen joins an environmental club to impress his crush. While doing some investigating at a waste plant, he is thrown into a tub of waste and transforms into a radioactive hero." Writer and director Lloyd Kaufman and his studio, Troma Entertainment, have been an endless font of modern B-movie madness since the '70s. »

Arnold Schwarzenegger in Talks to Star in Toxic Avenger Remake
13 May 2013 5:03 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Arnold Schwarzenegger is lining up another lead role, and this one’s a bit of a departure from his hardened characters of late. The Governator is in talks to star in director Steve Pink’s (Hot Tub Time Machine) remake of the 1984 cult classic The Toxic Avenger. The original film featured nerdy janitor Melvin (Mark Torgl) being tossed into a barrel of nuclear waste by a pack of bullies. He then became the hideous, yet superpowered Toxic Avenger (Mitch Cohen). Interestingly, Schwarzenegger is looking to play a character that is not the titular avenger, so don’t expect some major makeup job in Schwarzenegger’s future. He'll take on the role of "The Exterminator" (clever), a former black ops agent, who trains Toxie to use his powers for good. Together they take on the lurking menace created by the polluters, and the polluters themselves. John Travolta has previously been rumored »

Variety report that Arnold Schwarzenegger is in talks to star in the new Toxic Avenger, but not as the hideous hero himself. -- it seems he’s in negotiations for another lead role in the reboot of the crazy '80s flick. Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink has been attached to the project since 2010, but we haven't heard much else about it until now. For those not in the know, The Toxic Avenger was a 1984 low budget flick from Troma Studios, about a mop-wielding radioactive superhero who deals out violent justice to a bunch of polluters in Jersey. The movie spawned 3 sequels, a kid's cartoon series. and various comic book spin-offs. John Travolta was also rumored to be up for a role a while back, but we haven't heard anything on that since.
