We were so impressed when French Arnold fan Jerome Monnier sent us such great photos of his daughter, Aimy, with many of the Expendables 2 stars that we had to ask if he had more photos to share with us. It turns out Jerome has been introducing his daughter to the stars for years now and he’s accumulated loads of great photos and video footage. So let’s all thank the Monniers for sharing all these ballsy photos with us.
The Monterey Mecum Muscle Car & More auction had many special treats to offer bidders last weekend, but two cars in particular makes us wish this auction was still live. Sadly we didn't know the auction had ended so abruptly but we should at least show you these ballsy vehicles that Arnold once owned!

If you noticed an extra high volume of tweets with #totalrecallbook tags, oh say 130,000 of them, it was because Arnold was slowly revealing the back cover of his autobiography on schwarzenegger.com, and every tweet containing that hashtag would help reveal more of the image. Very nice social marketing move! It took about 24 hours to reveal the whole thing, but most fans knew after just a couple that the image was the very recognizable poster shot of Arnold from The Terminator!
A few days ago I ran into Paul Verhoeven at a cafe in Venice and I could not help but to interrupt his breakfast to express my disgust in the new Total Recall film and proclaim my love for the 1989 original.

Congratulations to Arnold and gang of The Expendables 2 for having the #1 movie for the second weekend in a row! Here's our final report from the black carpet of The Expendables 2. We earlier brought you interviews with Schwarzenegger and other co-stars from the film but now let's introduce you to many of the great contributors from the behind the scenes crew!
As we go into the second U.S. weekend of release for Expendables 2, we thought we'd share some of our thoughts on the movie. Since it's not an Arnold starring movie, we won't do a full review, but here is a taste of our reactions (we tried to keep it spoiler free):
