Perhaps this would make sense to me if there were 150 people running for POTUS that year.

You're conflating two issues. The question is whether his constant movie references "work." I say they don't. The reason he's been a reasonably effective governor hasn't been because of his celebrity --- it's been because he entered Sacramento with no history, so the legislature has little to go on during the power battles. I think the "I'll terminate the deficit" stuff makes him look like a cheeseball, not a leader. If you think that, to the contrary, it makes him a great leader, we're all in trouble.

Not really. If it didn't "work" he wouldn't have the 65% approval rating. The "people" eat it up.

(Please say celebrities make better executive branch leaders. We have a hell of a lot more of them to choose from than you do, and most of them are not constitutionally disqualified from the presidency.)
