On October 1, fans of Arnold Schwarzenegger got something they've waited decades for: a tell-all memoir. Having finished the book rather quickly, I wanted to give potential readers my take on this extraordinary autobiography. Additionally, we at TheArnoldFans want to encourage everyone who reads this memoir to head over to Amazon.com and show some love for Arnold by writing their own reviews.
For over ten years, barbarians everywhere know that the staff of TAFs has been the world’s strongest online supporter of King Conan. For a decade we reminded Arnold that his number one most anticipated film by his fans has been King Conan, we send him facebook pleas and organize an occasional K.C. movement on twitter, we created the petition to get Arnold onboard (which gained over 14,000 signatures)
On Friday afternoon, the author of "Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story" told TheArnoldFans about his new haircut, his busy movie schedule, getting old with Stallone and talked more about his next film, "The Breacher"!
This week has been a whirlwind book tour for Arnold, as he went from New York to DC to Columbus to Toronto, and fans have been flocking to his book signings! That includes us, of course, as Brandon Krum caught him in New York, The Gillinator said hi in DC, and Corey, the Gillinator's brother, saw Arnold in Columbus! We'll be back with full reports and pictures shortly. In the meantime, if you're near L.A. or Huntington Beach, CA, you can still catch Arnold on Friday or Saturday- check the schedule on schwarzenegger.com and send us your pics or stories of meeting the Oak in person! All reports say he is being very gracious, signing, shaking hands, and taking time with all the fans he can.
Arnold has been hitting the talk show and news circuit as well with some great interviews. Here's a list of the major ones you can watch online:
ESPN 30 for 30: Arnold's Blueprint
60 Minutes (starting around 18 minutes)
It's apparent from the interviews that very little is off limits-- Arnold talks about his life as he details it in the book, both his amazing achievements and regretful mistakes. This is probably the most personal we've seen Arnold get in interviews, just talking about what makes hiim the knd of man he is. Then John Stewart is always good at bringing levity to serious matters, saying how Arnold should just come back from the future to fix things and being creeped out by Arnold's skull ring!

It's time to catch up on Expendables news! The latest box office numbers put Domestic at $83,501,148 and foreign at $201,500,00 for a whopping worldwide total of $285,001,148! With an estimated budget of $100 million, it nearly tripled that, and in Hollywood, that means prepare for more. The great Sly and Arnold fan ABKing has written a compelling argument for who should direct Expendables 3, so take it away, AB!
It was a little over a year ago, on September 22nd, 2011, when Arnold made the announcement giving us the official title of his memoirs: Total Recall: My Unbelievable Tue Life Story. After the very long wait, the time has come at last for Schwarzenegger fans to rejoice! In just a couple more days, the books will start to arrive on our doorsteps or be on all bookshelves on October 1st. Arnold already has several dates confirmed for his book signing tour and and he's gearing up for a few live promotional TV appearance including Monday's Good Morning America.
Arnold punched us all in the face today with a blissful blow of movie news and the impact feels oh so good! On Monday, September 24th, we thought we were lucky enough to be treated to the streaming Arnold speech from the Schwarzenegger Institute but the news just kept coming and coming throughout the day. Next we heard Arnold would be on "Good Morning America" in NY on Monday morning, October 1st. Shortly after we read he’d be on "60 Minutes" on Sunday the 29th! Watch the trailer for the "60 Minutes" Schwarzenegger special HERE!

Just when we thought Arnold had run the gambit on things to achieve in his lifetime, he continued his shock and awe campaign last month with the announcement of the USC Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy. Serving primarily as a political think tank, the Schwarzenegger Institute hopes to blend the creativity and originality of Hollywood with the politics and bureaucracy of Washington.
Let's Party! Today's the day of the official worldwide release date of "Arnold’s Army: A Schwarzenegger Uprising"! Although we did tip off readers of this website of an exclusive early sale, NOW is the time when others will be rewarded to the exclusive news within the book! Earlier the book was only promoted as the ultimate book about the fan base behind our hero. What you may not have been aware of earlier, and we'll share the news now, is that Arnold’s Army also reveals glorious exclusive movie news (King Conan), fantastic cartoon news ("The Governator"), and many never-published interviews and exclusive comments with Arnold, his closest friends, family members, co-stars, stuntmen, bodyguards, neighbors and his directors like Milius, Butler and Verhoeven!

When Schwarzenegger left Planet Hollywood behind long ago, many of his film props once located at the restaurants would be sold at auction or they'd head back to Arnold's personal warehouse. There were once nearly 100 Planet Hollywood restaurants worldwide, but now, there are roughly ten that remain and only 3 or 4 in the United States. Out of all of these locations, the best one to visit and still see many Arnold props is Planet Hollywood, Orlando!
