Alright, considering Comic Con has been over for nearly a month and we've already reported on most of the biggest Schwarzenegger news to come out of the event, let me wrap up this report quickly. Here's a last batch of photos showing costumed fans, artwork, celebrities and more!
Here's a quickie tidbit of Last Stand news: according to The Sun, the producers of The Last Stand have revealed one of Arnold's new "catch phrases" in the movie, that they hope will catch on like the best ones from his other movies. The phrase? "I feel old." They are not ignoring the fact that Arnold has aged, in fact, they are playing it up as part of his character. Arnold told USA Today the sheriff "hasn't had to flex his muscles in a while, so when the gangsters come to town, it's a big test.... I guess I could have started slow and eased into it," Schwarzenegger adds. "But it felt amazing to be back jumping off buildings, seeing huge explosions, getting in car chases and throwing punches."

Hey, how would you like to enroll in a place called "The Schwarzenegger Institute"? Maybe you'll take classes on falling down waterfalls, proper minigun shooting technique, speaking with the highest levels of confidence and inspiration on any topic (in an Austrian accent), and of course, pumping up for at least 15 minutes every day? Well, that is not quite what the Schwarzenegger Institute for Public Policy is about.
Lionsgate confirms this new Expendables 2 "Last Supper" poster is official while others speculated the ballsy poster was fan-made. Currently these have not made it to print and are online banners only but this may change. We'll let you know if any posters showing this image become available or show up in theaters. Can you believe we have less than two weeks to go until the release of "The Expendables 2"?!
ESPN Films has just made a deal to produce a documentary about Arnold Schwarzenegger's youth and mandatory military service when he served in the Austrian Army. The Schwarzenegger film also looks at the time when became immersed in bodybuilding. He faced early resistance to his pursuit, but said the lesson served him well on his path to success in film and politics.
Go grab a copy of Men's Fitness magazine, as it has Arnold on the cover! Thanks to Derek for the heads up!
At long last, officially released high-res photos of Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Last Stand" are coming out of the Lionsgate vault!

Pictured: Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) and Sheriff Ray Owens (Arnold Schwarzenegger).

Every year they are asked
about how Arnold Day started and every year they are excited to tell
the story. It all began eight years ago in the comfort of a local
pizzeria in Orlando, Florida known as Lazy Moon. There, two friends
by the names of Ryan and Vinnie sat on a pair of bar stools with a
goal. To watch Arnold movies on a 19 inch T.V. and a VCR while
drinking beer all day. A pretty simple concept which has now turned
into upwards of a hundred people coming from around the state of
Florida to take part in the festivities every year at Lazy Moon.
With a few changes that is. They have moved on from the VCR and now
have a giant screen that the movies are projected on to accommodate
all of the new fans.
July 30th is once again upon us and we all know what that means: Arnold's birthday! This is year is extra special because, after a 9-year hiatus, the big man is back making movies with his first one, The Expendables 2, releasing in just a few short works. Also special is the fact that, though hard to believe, the Terminator is turning 65 this year! We here at TheArnoldFans have been busy organizing Schwarzenegger's big birthday bash so let's have Arnold pull up a chair now and unwrap his first gift!
