Questions For Does Father Really Know Best?

1) Is Terminator 2 an endorsement or a critique of fatherhood?
2) Do Schwarzenegger's comedies rely just as much on his body as his action movies do -- only making fun of, rather than glorifying, it?
3) Are action hero's bodies objectified in the same way that women's are? (Another contradiction to think about: Women have historically, in film, been the ones whose bodies are objectified. But in the action films it is the man who is shirtless etc. Is this not a contradiction -- that the men who are the most "masculine" are the ones being objectified?)
