'Nobody Hits Like Netflix' seems like a poor tagline given their batting average.

In baseball 3 out of 10 is good.

Yeah, most Netflix action movies suck.

But they sure wouldn't bring that up in their marketing campaign, would they?

3 out of 10 sounds like quite a generous estimate for Netflix's output.

[BluBonnet]

Arnie said he just accepted the job.

Maybe now things will get better!

No - this whole thing reeks of desperation. Arnie is part of my fondest memories but his ship sailed a LONG time ago. I hope they didnt do this to release more garbage Terminator or Predator based content to further ruin those IPs, LOL.

Just. Stop.

Um..........ok?

Always pretty funny when people take things like this seriously.

"The Brothers Sun" looks like it might be good

Even funnier to post such things. Must be a slow day at Wal-Mart for you guys.

Dude, it's literally just a promo to market Schwarzenegger's TV series Fubar and other Netflix action movies and series.

Arnie's bit was the best action in the whole trailer. Does anyone remember the self-starring commercials that Michael Bay did for Verizon? This reminds me of those:

[Show spoiler]

Verizon Commercial - Michael Bay EXTENDED - YouTube

I do wish Arnie could take us back to the glory of 80s action, but it doesn't look like it, not from those clips in the trailer.

In reference to "Extraction 2", if the only thing stopping me from falling to my death from the top of a ruined skyscraper is a bloke holding me up, while he is himself hanging on for dear life to a steel beam single-handedly, then when that guy asks "Do you trust me?" there is a 0% chance that I'm going to respond with a smart-alec snarky quip.

Oh, since y'all brought up baseball, since I didn't see anyone else take a swing and Netflix is lobbing this one right over the plate: "FUBAR" describes Da Ahnuld's career since the early 00s.

Oh god. Netflix promoting itself. Another nail in western society's coffin. Where will it all end?

[Guy87]

Schwarzenegger really needs to stop dying his hair.

[Poya]

Arnie shouldn't do Netflix. He belongs on the big screen.

Ya never know. Hard not to be skittish reading such things.

[Martoto]

You never know.

Correct.
