Arnold: California's New Governor
 

Arnold won the election. Gray Davis, pack up your bags.

Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

My parents voted like 2 hours right before the election.

I just saw it on T.V.... Our new governor is a cyborg killing machine from the future, a secret CIA agent, Danny Devido's twin, and a Kindergarden Cop.... People, this is our new Governor.....

Not bad. :)

to para-phrase Predator, "If Gray Davis can bleed, Arnold can kill him"

I'm angry. Arnold wants to take the movie industry away from Canada and he hates Canadians.

Good luck taking the movie industry from us. We're more cost efficient!

Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

lol...so true :p

Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

He'll just impose some kind of crazy tariff thing and it'll suck the film business right out of BC(mostly) and Ontario.

Ya, I heard it on the news. I have a feeling California is going to be a good laugh.

Wow, amazing. Gary Coleman never made it?

Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

I was kind of going for Mary Carie...

Too bad, too bad. Imagine having a porn star as our new governor.

They just finished shooting Resident Evil: Apocalypse in Canada. :D

Red Hot Chili Peppers rule. :)

Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

What're you talking about? How could the governor of California keep American films out of Canada? Or do you mean he would not allow Canadians to produce films in America (specifically California)?

Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

He's trying to get American film makers to stop making films in Canada. He wants to keep it in America because he's a jerk. And he can't pronounce California.

Re: Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

No, he just enunciates California very deliberetely so he doesn't make a mistake.

Hey, hes nothing compared to Ariana Huffington.

Anyways, GO ARNIE!

Re: Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

Or have you considered the possibility that all the people who work in the movies but are losing their jobs to Canadians are putting pressure on Arnold to stop the loss of American jobs? Not that I agree with it, but take it from someone who has been studying political science for two years now: you don't do these things just because you want to be a jerk. There has to be something in it for you. I know Arnold is an inexperienced politician, but he has a lot of advisors who will tell him when an idea will just sound stupid. He has nothing to gain from keeping filmmaking in California. At least he wouldn't have anything to gain unless some of the people who gathered votes for him are making him promise to do it.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

Ah. You are very wise. But you must also realize that if the took the film industry away from us a lot of Canadians would lose jobs. My dad is one. And I am another. I'm an aspiring director.

If they took away film from Canada, I'd have to move to Europe to get a job.

Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

you also forgot that he was the first male to ever give a cesarean birth to a live child :):):).... yes this is your new governor!!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

California is doomed.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

I agree. :( Poor california

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

On the flip side, very few of the candidates looked much better.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

I want to see how well Arnold can handle the 5th largest economy in the world. If he can somehow pull CA out of its slump, more power to him, but if he can't, I can see Californians demanding yet another recall.

But I really hope people in California will get their head's out of their asses and stick to one person. Maybe the budget problem is the people's fault. Who knows. But since Californian's have a short fuse, they will demand anything.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

Perhaps even a Total Recall election. *ba dum tush*

Away from canada? you took it from us! (hollywood). Just cause its cheaper. Well, your not gettin nun of my movies! :guitar:

Im glad hes governor. If you lived in california, and werent a devoted democrat, you would probably feel the same way.

Im not really a democrat or republican. Though I dislike liberals, so I lean more towards democrats. Though Davis was a conservative.

Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

ummm.... if you dislike liberals then you would lean toward the Republicans...
The dems tend to be liberal

Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

You can be a liberal Republican and a conservative Democrat; it's just rare right now.

I'm economically conservative and socially liberal. :D

Lets just hope Arnold at least is smart enough to hire people to be in his cabinet that actually know what they're doing.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

Once again... what're you talking about?!

Are you saying that American film makers should make their films in Canada so that Canadians can get jobs? That is... rather than Americans making them in their own borders so that more Americans have jobs?

It makes me laugh if your dad would lose a job just if Americans were to pull out of Canada. Where's the self-production? You don't need to ride the coat of an American O_o. Don't Canadians make their own "Canadian" films? Or are other countries like the US and Europe the only places for film?

Once again, I find it pathetic if Arnold's influence on the movie industry could injure Canada's economy.

Yeah. Americans make a lot of movies and tv shows. And they make them here because it costs less. The film industry is onje of the biggest industries in BC if not THE biggest.

Booo arnold booo.

Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

Arnold is going to do what is in the best interest of his state and his country. If that means pulling American movie production out of Canada then that is what he will do. Any other country would do the same.

Though I doubt Arnold is even able to do that, I just wanted to make that statement. :)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

I somehow want to kick you for that :P

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

Ah yes. But you aren't one of his constituents. You can't vote for his opponent. In fact, there isn't much you can do in general to get him thrown out of office. So in the end, whether you like it or not, he's going to choose California over Canada every time.

It's hard, but don't blame Arnold.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

Canadian film industry is screwed.. or is it?

I mean, what would lure American production company's away from Canadian soil and back to American soil? American money does wonders in Canada and other parts of the world...

How will Arnold be able to bring them back when it's all about the money? Can he offer like tax deductables or something?

My main problem with Arnold is that he seems to spend more time quoting his movies than he does discussing important political issues.

Re: Arnold: California's New Governor
 

What makes better news? Discussing political issues or Arnold quoting his movies?
