Now that Arnold Schwarzenegger has admitted to fathering a son after having had a “dalliance” with a member of his household staff, it would be interesting to see once his now-on-hold movie career resumes, what “remakes” he might star in which could presumably vault him again to the top of the box office charts.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has been a bad, bad boy, and Maria Shriver knows it!

“The Christmas Card of 1941” – In the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor, a soldier and his best girl worry whether they may be spending their last Christmas together.  Arnold would be the soldier while his girlfriend could be played by soon-to-be ex-wife Maria Shriver, in the remake whose title could be changed to “ The Christmas Card of 2011”, ensuring they would NOT be spending Christmas together or exchanging Christmas cards ever again.

“It’s a Wonderful Life” – Arnold could play the part of George Bailey, only in this version the angel just lets him jump off the bridge anyway.  (He would deserve it.)

“Back to the Future” – Marty McFly (played, of course, by Arnold) escapes from the Libyans and is propelled back to 1955 where, thankfully, he stays.

“Commando” – Reprising his role as John Matrix, older and more-wrinkled, he is again the target of every conceivable type of weapon—bullets, grenades, Uzis, you name it—but only this time hiding behind a sticker bush doesn’t protect him, and he expires within the first 10 minutes of the movie.

“The King’s Speech” – The remake would be renamed “The Governor’s Speech” and it would be about Schwarzenegger again becoming the governor of California, only this time he is forced to go to a speech therapist (who happens to be a beautiful female) since his constituents have trouble understanding him.  After many late-night, exhaustive sessions, no solution to his problem is found and he is forced to resign in shame after the therapist gives birth to his child.

If anyone would think that any of these juicy roles would catapult Arnold Schwarzenegger into Oscar consideration, I would think that rather than having any chance of being awarded the 8-pound gold statuette, he would almost assuredly be given a loud Bronx cheer.   Hasta la vista, baby!

2008 Christmas cards sent by Governor Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. The design was created by Dennis Francesconi, a member of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists.

For 2008, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver kicked off the Christmas season with the theme “WE Celebrate.” This theme celebrates California’s bravest and most inspiring individuals who represent the strength and perseverance of California’s people. With that being said, the Governor and the First Lady spread the Holiday cheer with these Christmas cards designed by a member of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists – Dennis Francesconi. Francesconi’s acrylic painting, entitled “Christmas Night,” depicts an exquisite Christmas tree adorned with ornaments standing majestically in a starry night sky surrounded by brightly colored presents.

Schwarzenegger and Shriver’s personal greeting inside is a wish not only for peace within yourself, but also for peace in our country and throughout the world. These beautiful Christmas cards were sent by the Governor and the First Lady to more than 9,000 people, which included 4,500 members of the California National Guard stationed overseas.

Dennis Francesconi, who is a quadriplegic and is wheelchair-bound, painted this picture with his mouth. Dennis was injured almost 30 years ago at the age of 17 in a water skiing accident. Dennis first learned to write with his mouth and then later on learned to paint with his mouth. He was invited to exhibit some of his work on the website of the world renowned Saatchi Gallery London. This website was formed 20 years ago and is best known for the innovative forum it provides for established and upcoming contemporary artists. He also had several images published in the November issue of Parent Guide Magazine. The magazine also published a very informative article about the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists.
