VANITY--Weekend Summer Movie--The Running Man 1987

Posted on 07/21/2017 3:44:10 PM PDT by AbolishCSEU

The Running Man 1987--Looks a lot like life under Obama and would have continued had the Killdebeast become Madam Presidente.

The heavily edited "news" footage is a lot like CNN. Doctored fake news.

And it had Richard Dawson hosting the Running Man game show and passing out copies of the Running Man Home Game.

When did game shows stop creating home game versions? For a while it seamed that every game show had one.

I just remember hearing a song that sampled over and over Richard Dawson saying, “Who Loves You, and Who Do You Love?”

Richard Dawson was awesome in that movie. I believe I remember the home version of “Family Feud” and I think that there was one of “Match Game” as well.

Add Eraser Head to the mix and get ready for a thorazine drip.

Isn’t it funny how the Statist control freaks called progressives always project through the media “tales of control orientated state tyranny fantasies “ when the people who stand for individual liberty are in charge?

I also think of “Demolition Man” along those same lines. Fun movie with some good satire.

70’s Sci-Fi, apocalyptic or antiseptic.

Either the future was grimy, or super ordered.

I need to find a DVD of the original Rollerball.

The “3 sea shells” is a movie mystery right up there with the “Doctor Gillespie Killings”.

Good to see you gator.

Ah, all that spandex. Maria Conchita Alonso was smoking hot in that movie.

Bingo. “The Hunger Games” was another one. Leftists LOVED it. It’s their goal.

Dynamo was my fave! The opera singer was pretty good too. Image and video hosting by TinyPic Ahnold's acting and lame one-liners supported by Stephen King's stellar story made this stinker a Mystery Science Theater pick right out of the box.

The actor playing Dynamo was even better as Grossberger in Stir Crazy.
