Quote: “The pen is mighter than the sword.”
1. That’s what people with swords tell people with pens so they don’t go out and buy a sword.
2a. Action-hero movie line:
REVOLUTIONARY: “You can’t suppress our ideas. The pen is mightier than the sword.”
SCHWARZENEGGER: “Gun beats both.” [BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM]
2b. Who is the next name in the action hero business? The next big, dumb guy that blows stuff up first and ask questions later. All of the big ones–Segal, Van Damme, Schwarzenegger–haven’t made anything notable in the genre since the 90s. Did Bush kill the action hero? “This blowing stuff up for no good reason isn’t as cool in real life.”
