I'm reading the big guy's biography at the moment, so this seemed like a good time to check out the documentary Pumping Iron that I have always been hearing about. Not bad, but could have been a lot better too. It is always intriguing to be the fly on the wall, and this was no exception. Man, Arnold was quite the bastard actually with his mind games.

A decent film, but I would recommend reading the book Total Recall instead. The first 100 pages are more fascinating than this documentary. Just don't EVER watch Hercules in New York. You will go blind. Or die, and then go blind.
