Hm. Isn't he equally ill-matched with a bourgeois soul-searching chick flick (EAT PRAY LOVE)?
My husband opines that it's a reference to Sly's long-running criticism of action movies that don't require their heroes to hit a gym. Folks like Sly and Arnold, et al., spent years perfecting their physiques to sell the story. Apparently, accomplishing the same effect through visual trickery never sat well with Sly. He declared the '89 BATMAN the death of the action hero for that reason. I imagine that a bunch of weedy video game dorks punching each other into the stratosphere falls into his categorical disdain, to the point that EAT PRAY LOVE is (comedically) manlier to him.
