The two most ironic lines from Last Action Hero
RUNNER UP:
JACK SLATER
(played by Arnold Schwarzenegger if you didn't know)
You already mentioned them.

I know I did. They are twice as bad as anything else.
But now, Arnold IS a politician! Get it? Maybe? Well, here's a better one: the number one most ironic line from Last Action Hero...
Sounds like a reference to Grass, right? But we all know Arnold hates early 20th century American poetry! Get it? Don't you get it?
That's right, I'm just catching up on the movies you all saw in 1993.
Other thoughts not worthy of an entire blog entry:
- If Death from The Seventh Seal walked off a movie screen (because for some reason it's showing in Los Angeles), wouldn't he speak Swedish?
- This movie would have been much better with a less annoying child star. Arnold's character is surprisingly complex.
- The main bad guy should have actually been played by Ron Silver, and not by his body double.
- It seems the bad guy's butler, who I thought was played by Oddjob from Goldfinger, was in fact played by Subzero from The Running Man, which is somehow even more awesome.
