Offer Upgrade  User ID: 4256897  United Kingdom06/28/2013 06:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A 1987 Arnold Schawazennger film was based from Richard Bachman novel. By 2017, the global economy has collapsed and American society has become a totalitarian police state, censoring all cultural activity. (Words from Wiki) [link to en.wikipedia.org]  judging by this 4 more years until system collapse... eh? Possible... who know's only reason i've picked this up, the film is on British Film 4 right now.  Enjoy your night ; ) Last Edited by _Friendly_Spooks_ on 06/28/2013 06:50 PM Zoltron The End Is Near Charles Foster Kane: Don't believe everything you hear on the radio. Capt Jean- Luc Picard Live now always the precious time now will never come again. Capt. Kirk: Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its 5-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. I almost made it work. The Guardians were more than I could ever have hoped for! But the universe is also more dangerous than I ever imagined! Look around! This is the kind of thing that can happen! The galaxy doesn't need guardians! It doesn't need brave souls! If it's going to survive another one of these, it's going to need absolute bad-asses! It's going to need the biggest guns of all! Cosmic heavy hitters as scary as the menaces they have to face! It's going to need flarking annihilators!

(Richard Bachman was a nom-de-plume of King's in his early years.) But seldom does any novel translate well to a 3-hour block as a movie. The books are ALWAYS better. In this case, I doubly concur, since I've made the point several times that the Running Man NOVEL was a prophetic bit of prognostication on King's part, and he mostly NAILED it, too. |

I'd like to see a proper remake done (without Arnie!!!!). The ending would have to be changed a little - if you haven't read it yet I won't tell you why ;) |
