Yes, it's the Arnie thing. I want to like it, 'cos the story is brillers

(that's why I put my corollary about Philip K Dick), but Arnie is a buffoon. Terminator is brilliant, but Arnie being a terrible actor *enchances* it, because being wooden and unbelievable is part of the character. If Arnie was a good actor, Terminator wouldn't hit the right buttons so well.
