...good while, T2 operates persuasively on the gut level where most moviegoers live. It establishes Schwarzenegger as a stolid icon with a sense of humor, swatting down some bikers like a bad-to-the-bone good ole boy, reloading one of the movie's zillion firearms with a fancy twirl of the wrist -- proving he has become, in Schwarzenegger's words, "a kinder, gentler terminator" by forswearing murder: he merely shoots off a record number of kneecaps.

...tabloid dubbed the scandal the GRAND OLE SOAP OPRY, as Nashvillians cringed in embarrassment. After Boner's divorce from Betty and marriage to Peel, the city's mortification peaked when the Boners appeared on Phil Donahue's TV show to discuss, among other matters, the mayor's alleged sexual prowess.
