What's right with them?
I just think he's better when he doesn't have to worry about acting, just a few one-liners and kick the bad guys' asses

i don't think the human mind can begin to comprehend the depths of how bad they are.

Sylvester Stallone movies are way worse than any Arnie movies. The Rocky series, Demolition Man (shudder).

Thank heavens for that. Some things are just not meant to be.

for starters...i really liked oscar. "you want it done fast, or you want id done right? you don't rush a verducci. feel this, this nice, it's like a baby's behind"
his other comedy i can think of is "stop! or my mom will shoot!" now that is terrible!
i also love the rocky movies. the first and fourth ones are simply amazing. hell, all of them are great, even the 5th one deserves seom recognition for being so absurdly bad starring tommy "the machine gun" "aids boy" "great white nope" morrison

I thought that Oscar had its moments. Although not many.

I think so
I take the fact that I've never even heard of movies like this as a sign that they probably sank without trace, and for good reason
@Nael Rocky isn't a comedy. Neither is Judge Dredd (it doesn't count unless it's
deliberate ). I had forgotten (or possibly blocked out) Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot... You'd have thought he'd learn after that...

Getting this thread back on topic... 
Over at AICN, Moriarty has posted a review of the movie's script. He gushes over it:
The script literally opens with a bang, and it rarely pauses for breath between there and the final chilling image. The biggest two improvements in this chapter of the prequel trilogy are the tone and the dialogue. The addition of Jonathan Hale as a co-screenwriter seems to have made a major difference in the overall energy of the script. There's a breathless quality to it, and in many places, it feels like Lucas and Hale are offering sly responses to fanboy responses to EPISODE I, particularly when introducing Jar Jar or when dealing with "whiny" Anakin. For all of you who believe that Lucas operates in a money-insulated bubble, never listening to anything the fans say, EPISODE II should serve as a solid, resounding refutation of that idea. This is a script that seems almost overeager to please, packed full of action sequences and interesting supporting characters, cutting back and forth between several genuinely interesting storylines at once.
You can read the full article here. Bodes well for AotC!

Sorry Kayless but...
Good morning Georgi. Though I doubt it is morning where you are.

I don't mind.
There's another great scene where Arnold tells Anne Margaret about his gun.
