The Running man
Discussion
Recently I've been playing with the tivo since its new to me... and long story short it seems to be recording films willy nilly, I of course have seen The Running man a long while ago but it was recorded by the tivo box so I gave it a nostalgic viewing...
Is it better than the hunger games? Of Course!
Is it almost a good prediction of the near near future, actually shockingly I might well be, have you seen the hysteria for xfactor and simon cowell? people more interested in a show than local politics, whilst you wonder about the corruption that goes on? Maybe I'm looking too deep?

It's a dreadful film and really not worth watching.
Rubbish. It is entertaining enough.Unlike, say, Monsters University. Or a thousand other turds.

It still is fun to watch, with its tongue firmly in cheek - and with Arnold at his zenith.

As were nearly all of SK's stories from his Bachman period. All very good stories as well, I particularly liked Roadwork and The Long Walk.
Oh yes the Long Walk is about as dark as it can get.I read the book before seeing the film, that kind of confused me when I saw the movie.
As for bad, you must be kidding, it is a classic!?!? What happened to Buzz Saw? He had to split........
I'll be back - Only in a Re-Run........
The Running Man is a classic.
Hampered by it's tech of the day.
It is one of those things that in my head may benefit from a reboot...if the originals hard edge and satire can be kept. Not seen it but Robocop seems to be a great example of updating a classic satire leaving out the satire. Maybe Charlie Brooker should write it?

The book is much better, although it maybe depends on which way round you do them. I did the book first.
I believe it does.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
