Don’t Worry About Your Acting Career, Schwarzenegger. It’ll Survive… If You Play Your Deceitful Cards Right.
“What?! What are you talking about? It’s over. He’s done,” I hear you say. And to that I reply “you’re wrong!” Yes, the man cheated on his wife with a woman that looks like she could be his sister… his much more repugnant sister. But the torches and pitchforks will subside. This is as much publicity as you’ll hear for the rest of their lives about the subject. Sure, Jay Leno will still take some unfunny jabs at the former Governor but this won’t derail his acting career. It won’t derail it one bit.
Look, people love to watch successful people “fail, fall, die trying.” It’s true. Especially in Hollywood. So many people that we think don’t deserve what they have should fall… and hard. (I’m not talking about reality garbage. All of them should get slapped right before they disappear.) But, believe it or not, as much as we want them to fall, we want to see how the hell they’ll get back up. How they’ll react. Look at Robert Downey Jr., Britney Spears, Hugh Grant, and, to a lesser extent, Lindsey Lohan (she’s had a few chances and she’s blown them all).
Arnold does have a tough task ahead, though. It’s not that easy. He’s got to pick the EXACT project to work on so he can make his comeback even that more memorable (unlike poor ol’ Mel Gibson with The Beaver).
…and apparently he has. According to Deadline, Schwarzenegger has picked his comeback project in the form of a western entitled The Last Stand. A project he drooled about but was undecided between a billion others more he was thrown at. But don’t worry, it’s not your typical John Wayne/Clint Eastwood western. Not by a long shot since it’ll be directed by Korean master director Jee-Woon Kim. The man’s directed gems like I Saw the Devil, A Tale of Two Sisters, and The Good, the Bad, the Weird. All critical successes and if you know anything about these two guys, it’ll be a match made in celluloid heaven. Kim has a way of bringing so much emotion from his actors and if he can get Arnold to display some of it then this movie will be a great way to forget about his asinine infidelity and condomless mistake.
