Give Arnold a Chance!
Sacramento is currently taking all suggestions for Arnold's next movie. All box office receipts will go into the state coffers to help us out of this financial quagmire.
Now, all we need from you noble folks is a few good ideas for a zing-ding, rock'em sock'em flick that will draw billions in cash to our state government.
C'mon, people...give us your film synopses...Do your state proud!

Escape from California.
(We even have a user here with that handle - LOL!)
It is the year 2050. California is a maximum security federal prison ... etc.

Formerly 'cre8'. Now just a character.

How about an instructional film about why you should never, ever hire someone who claims that their *inexperience* is an asset because it gives them a fresh perspective on the problems and challenges facing [in this case a state]. Arnold used this line every time he was asked what qualified him for the job of governing one of the world's largest economies.
I always thought I'd use this line the next time I apply for a job beyond my experience and professional background. Odd how we'd never buy it in any other job setting, but when a super star runs for governor of the largest state in the U.S.A., we lap it up as totally logical.

How about this one?: Setting: Sacramento, CA. fall 2009. A visiting 'all-male musical troupe' from West Africa (called the "Mandingoes") comes to town. Local dignitaries (governor of CA and mayors of L.A. and S.F.) are invited to the musical performance (which they enjoy immensely), and then go backstage after the event where they are summarily locked in a room and rogered by the entire musical team (all 500!)- minutes 0 through 119.
The governor is determined to fight back with his words, the mayor of S.F. has his real personality revealed to himself, and the mayor of L.A. ends up with the longest surname in the world (decides to add the last name of every 'intimate encounter' to his own).

...and for verisimilitude, the actors should be the real-life personalities and no action shots should be faked in any way (just the real thing here). Sometime in 2012, when movie restrictions are more relaxed, the under 18 crowd will be allowed to see the stunning drama.
