Things And Things
First of all, fuck you Desean Jackson. I'm very glad you are tonight of all nights deciding to light up the Redskins since I already have my fantasty football week wrapped up...in that I won. Last week against the terrible Raiders you pulled a no show.
Secondly I think I've asked this question but whats the deal with porn magazines in airports. Besides the social shame of purchasing a dirty magazine from some 57 year old woman working at the store in the airport, you have the shame of trying to figure out when you're actually going to "use" it. Lets just say you decide to have your own little mile high club moment. There is not really any sort of sly way you can smuggle the magazine with you in to the bathroom. Unless I suppose you take your whole carry on bag with you in to the bathroom and even then you look a bit weird. Plus, who doesn't own a damn computer at this point?
Thirdly, why isn't every store at the airport open 24 hours? Is it not completely insane and stupid that an airport can be closed?! At the very least leave open one or two "general" stores so at the very least I can buy a damn candy bar.
Also Jeff Dunham is not funny and in fact fucking sucks ass.

The Worst Pop Culture Moment Ever
First of all I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that one Falcon aka Balloon Boy gripped the nation for several non productive hours as he allegedly floated away in a home made balloon...and by floated away I mean sat in his fucking house in a cardboard box. There is nothing to do but laugh about how awesome America is.
Now on to the worst pop culture moment of all time. I thought long and hard about this but I honestly think that the entire entity that was the Macarena craze really was the worst thing ever in the history of popular culture. The Macarena Remix by the Bayside Boys really managed for multiple reasons to completely take over pop culture and be obnoxious by existing in every facet of life. It also benefited by existing in a time that I would classify as "pre-internet." Yes the internet existed, but not as it does today. The way that media is aggregated, repeated, and spread through the internet means that anything that is going to be incredibly popular will crest faster, be picked up by more mainstream media faster, and ultimately die a quicker death.
I would like to say I hold no ill will towards Los Del Rio (the two older gentleman who provide the main hook in the song) as they had long careers and I hope they were able to make a lot of money off of this.
Reason 1 why The Macarena Was Terrible: It Had It's Own Dance
I distinctly remember there being news stories about there being Macarena dance classes for elderly people in retirement homes. You know you've completely reached the point of saturation when old people are embracing you. Plus you've got the thousands of wedding DJ's who would spin this song and all the awkward middle aged folk getting on the dance floor awkwardly repeating the dance. I also swear I remember them doing a whole little joke/dance/segment on The Today Show and goddamn it was bad. 50,000 people performed the "macarena" in Yankee Stadium attempting to set a record officially making Yankee Stadium the worst stadium of all time.
Reason 2: It was legitimately being played on the radio
The other thing was it was pretty much impossible to escape it. It was being played on all sorts of radio stations and people were legitimately in to the song. Not that this has anything to do with the radio but you know goddamn well that at some point during its most popular there was some manager of some store who as an "ICE BREAKER" for all the pissed off and bitter employees thought that the "TEAM" should all do the macarena together to lighten everyone up. Yeah.
It was undeniably popular. It spent 14 weeks at Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
Reason 3: This
Ultimately I see my biggest issue with it is how it really became The People's Anthem. Everyone really liked it which isn't actually a bad thing. The bad part was that there was a dance associated with it. I therefore am forced to cast my vote as this being the worst popular culture moment of all time.

Zombies Are On My List
There was a bit of a zombie renaissance that started gaining a bit of steam at the turn of the millennium (Not to be mistaken with the Willennium or the song Millennium by Robbie Williams). I'm no zombie scholar but if I recall correctly 28 Days Later really helped reinvigorate/jump start a whole new slew of zombie films. And yes, I realize that in 28 Days Later they aren't actually "zombies" in the traditional sense but rather "infected" citizens who have come down with the "Rage Virus." That said they're fucking zombies who run really fast and will vomit blood and tear your face off.
After that you start getting things like 'The Zombie Survival Guide' (It's a book published in 2003), Shaun of the Dead in 2004, Dawn of the Dead (remake in 2004), Land of the Dead (2005) and so on. Then you get Zombie Pub Crawls and World War Z and quite frankly its getting a bit played out. I'm about as big a zombie fan as you can get. Have I sat with friends and talked for hours about theoretical zombie invasions and what the best course of action/survival would be? Yes. Do I sometimes secretly wish a zombie apocalypse would take place so I could finally assert myself as a badass zombie killer? Yes. Do I still think that zombies are way to over exposed at this point and are getting painfully played out? Yes!
Now you might be saying, "But Scott, why should someones enjoyment of zombies get in the way of your own enjoyment?" The simple answer is that I'm a complete blowhard. Plus you have to agree...in the way that both pirates and ninjas were briefly getting bashed in to the ground so too zombies are now being done the same way. Zombies are awesome and smashing their head in with a shovel is always awesome, but when zombies are everywhere the enjoyment just isn't the same.
Some historians view 1968 as the year that changed every thing. In particular the massive ground swelling of protests throughout the world against a variety of different opponents. I view 2009 in a similar vain...2009 the year Scott Rebelled Against Zombies.

I Hate People Who Don't Like Sports
This rarely occurs in my life because I like to surround myself with people who enjoy the same things that I do...but on occasion I will be faced with someone who with a sneer and maybe even a smile says something like, "I just don't get why you would waste your time watching X sport."
'X' could be hockey, basketball, baseball, football, soccer, or curling. There are a few reasons why this question is stupid. Many times this question is pointed in that it implies that I am wasting my time getting obsessed with a sport and creating some facet of my identity with a group of people who are being paid a lot to perform in a game with a set of arbitrary rules. When you deconstruct anything though you can make it sound childish and pedantic. In theory I could live in a goddamn log cabin I built with my bare hands and cultivate the earth and live in a completely agrarian lifestyle. On the other hand, I live in a place called REALITY where I like to be entertained. Most people who sneer at sports would probably find cinema truly rewarding. I too find cinema immensely rewarding but for many of the same reasons.
Sports are larger than life. These athletes play in front of immense crowds. There is drama in the mundane. Rare is it that a person can be held in suspense, moved to tears, and joy all in a short period but this is what sports provide. It fills the void for many who otherwise live rather mundane lives. Sports are cathartic. TNT claims to know drama....they don't know shit.

Extreme Makeover: Scott Gets Emotional Edition
I watch an absurd amount of television...which is made even more amazing by the fact that I don't even own a television. I've talked in the past of my secret obsession with the show Take Home Chef (and how it could easily be a porno).
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition has a pretty simple premise. A build team goes around and finds worthy candidates who need a new house. They then build a completely new house in a week. In that time we find out tid bits about the family and then we get absurdly emotional and heart strings tugging when the new house is revealed for the first time to the family. What can I say though...most of the time it definitely gets a bit dusty when the family is walking through their brand new house. Often too the rooms are tailored to the childrens interests as well as any sort of issues they as residents may have. If the wife is in a wheel chair all the appliances are lowered and made more wheel chair accessible.
My point? I will watch your show and I will feel good about myself. It's like the show Little House on the Prairie...in that I think in that show there must have been some sort of contractual obligation for Michael Landon to be near tears/crying in every episode.
This is a good time to point out one last thing. Living "on the prairie" would really really suck. Besides the fact that breaking your leg when it was crop planting season could spell doom for not only your financial well being, but possibly also your lives in general. If you can't plant crops you can't make any money or grow food or sell/trade to live through the winter. By the way, your log cabin doesn't have good insulation and that gigantic blizzard that will hit this January means that you're going to be eating the same salted pork butt you've been saving for the next 3 weeks. Also, you never eat fruit and eating a dehydrated piece of rhubarb over christmas is considered a feast.
I'm so glad I'm living in the present where we have central heating, air conditioning, and fresh water that I actually use just to piss in and flush away.

Why So Serious?
I think it goes without argument that The Dark Knight was one of the best movies from 2008. It had the perfect combination of legitimate engaging story, good to great acting, engaging scenes, and a great bit of pop culture sensibility. Little did I realize at the time, but The Dark Knight was going to become the greatest television movie of all time.
What I mean is that whenever this movie is on TV I will probably end up watching a good portion of it. I'm a sucker like this. I own the Back to the Future trilogy. I can watch it whenever I want. I've also seen the movie about 250 times. With all that in mind I will still watch it when it happens to be on TBS. Same goes for Rocky 3 and 4. Once the holiday season rolls around (AKA ALMOST RIGHT NOW) they will do those crazy Rocky Marathons on a variety of channels. This could practically be called 'The Shawshank Redemption Memorial List' since TNT from the mid to late 90's in to the early 2000's would pretty much run The Shawshank Redemption at least twice a month.
The Dark Knight has a few things going for it. For one, you have Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was awesome. The movie is a good two and a half hours and its not like the Joker is actually on screen for that much of the movie but when he isn't on screen you always feel his presence/want more. This sets up the great TV viewing situation. Hypothetically speaking lets say you really like Heath Ledger's performance and love when he is on screen. When you're flipping through channels and you see that The Dark Knight is on and say its early on in the movie with Batman in China you know that there are some choice Joker scenes coming up you will automatically sit around and wait for those. The beauty is that even if you love The Joker scenes you aren't just sitting around watching paint dry. For the most part the movie is very engaging and never dull.
Think of it like the big shootout in Heat. You know the big shootout is coming up but its still more than an hour away. The reality of the situation is that you are now invested in wanting to see that scene so you are just going to watch the whole damn thing. You dare not start changing channels once it hits commercials for fear of missing the scenes you really like because you got distracted and started watching that episode of Seinfeld where George keeps trying to get fired. I feel like The Dark Knight will enter in to the pantheon of movies that are pretty much ingrained in popular culture to the point where when its on you just watch it. It is going to be like Die Hard is. It should be noted though that I think The Dark Knight is still only on premium channels and hasn't trickled down to cable viewing yet. But once it does...watch out.
Oh and if you don't like the movie, I hate you forever.

TIME MACHINE, TIME MACHINE
People didn't want to hear songs about things that hadn't even been invented yet.
This is pure comic brilliance from top to bottom. Much like Tupac though...I'm bout to 'Hit Em Up' with this next round of fun crap.
I've talked about the particulars of my fear of taking a crap in a public restroom. I really dislike restaurants where the bathroom is really big but completely open. What I'm saying is when the bathroom is for a single person to use at one time but then they sit the toilet in one corner and the door in a far other corner. The fear of course is that while I'm mid-crap someone busts the door open and that person not only sees what true fear looks like when our eyes meet, but the awkward afterwards where they will blab some sort of half apology as they quickly close the door and I'm left with zero dignity when I return to my meal. Furthermore it always confounds me when the bathroom door only has the handle lock and not a dead bolt. The handle lock where when you turn the handle from the inside and then it unlocks the door is the worst. You can't ever be sure from the inside if its actually locked!!!
The one good thing about 'going number 2' (why is it referred to as number 2?) in a restaurant is that you immediately know if the place is fucking terrible. A well stocked bathroom (hand soap, hot water, extra toilet paper) means that they pay attention to details. Signs the restaurant you're at may in fact suck include: Really creepy low light in the bathroom, it smells terrible, bathroom is suspiciously wet, and out of important supplies.
Last Note to My Readers: I'm coming to Minneapolis in a couple weeks and about to tear that mutha a new one....and by tear that mutha I mean eat some good food...and by good food I mean eat junk food that I miss. As you may know in California everything is probably organic and costs 43 dollars more than it should.

The 20 Dollar Fajita Pyramid Starring Bootny Lee Farnsworth
Going to a restaurant my eyes are greeted with what could be described as a laundry list of food items. In many a developing country in the world this list of bountiful delights would be met with cries of joy and hungry mouths watering. For me it is but another list of things that do nothing for me. Tonight like every lonely night in my life I am the hunter. My prey? The perfect fajitas.
There are two things that constantly get in my way of the perfect fajitas. Price and shitty steak. If the steak is terrible/too thin/not tender enough I will be immediately annoyed. Furthering my annoyance is if the place charges for extra flour tortillas. Guess what, flour tortillas cost about 2 dollars for a stack of fifty at any grocery store. So why are you mother fuckers charging me 30 cents per tortilla extra. The mean starting point is usually 3 yet the bountiful amounts of steak, beans, and rice will push my demands for flour tortillas far beyond that number. This is a racket. Getting a bit more into price is that fajitas are the type of dish that is delicately priced at most places. Anything under 11 dollars and I'll in my mind tell myself I'm getting a good deal. Anything over 16 and they better be damn good. The reality is I'm probably getting ripped off either way. Could I make a whole fajita dinner for myself on the cheap? Yes...but I'm lazy.

HULU is the New Late Night Movie Destination
I again am becoming a talking walking advertisement for the power that is Hulu. Go to the site and watch television and movies for free. They will have a few ads throughout the viewing of the program but they are short and really not that bad of a sacrifice for a relatively good quality online video viewer.
With that in mind the movies on here are largely crappy. For a variety of licensing issues most "GOOD" movies are put up on Hulu but then are only on there for maybe a month or two and then are taken down. In the past movies like The Big Lebowski, The Karate Kid Trilogy, The Thing, 28 Days Later, and many other average to good films have been on Hulu. They are all down now. The good news is most really shitty movies get thrown up on Hulu and stay there for a long time. Did you say you wanted to watch Kickboxer 3 starring that dude who played Cody in Step By Step? Well you're in luck because its there! How about The Substitute 2:School's Out...can't afford Tom Berenger for the sequel...well good news, we have Treat Williams.
The entire point I'm getting at though is that I grew up in what can only be described as an amazing time for television and cable in general. By the early to mid 90's cable was entering a stage where the product itself was maturing beyond a ramshackle group of channels that were still trying to figure out what the hell to put on at all hours of the day. There was a time where USA, TBS, TNT, and the like all had various night and late night movie programming blocks. Films like Judgment Night, Surviving The Game, and The People Under the Stairs became staples of the late night movie rotation.
USA Up All Night was fucking awesome. Gilbert Gottfried introducing me to Critters 2: The Main Course was a great time in my life. On top of that cable has become a lot more refined which means they cater far less to the lowest common denominator. What I can tell you is that the show Silk Stalkings was a show I didn't personally watch/enjoy but I do remember the lead ins to every episode was someone was having sex and then they got killed. Not exactly sure if my 12 year old brain knew exactly what was going on.
Tragically the way these channels fill the late night hours now is around midnight to one they just immediately flip it to the same 4 informercials (they don't even have any good informericals anymore but that is an entirely different topic) and let them run on repeat until 5 or 6 am and the regular programming schedule resumes. The children of today then are left with Hulu. It lacks the charm of the cheap ass programming ethos of cable programming but at least they can watch The Substitute 2 without censorship.
P.S. TNT allowed me to watch The Shawshank Redemption about 823 times.

The children of today then are left with Hulu. It lacks the charm of the cheap ass programming ethos of cable programming but at least they can watch The Substitute 2 without censorship.
P.S. TNT allowed me to watch The Shawshank Redemption about 823 times.

Terminator 2 Get's Me Choked Up
Terminator 2: Judgment Day is an extremely important film for many reasons. It is often overlooked when discussions of the greatest action films of all time come up. The obvious (and probably most correct answer) answer is Die Hard....then it is pretty much all down hill from there.
As a guy who likes his movies I will say that T2 manages to hit a nerve or two near the end. What is not to love? A robot who learns to true value of human life and the nuances of emotion must ultimately sacrifice itself for the greater good of all humanity!!!! That is drama...not on TNT.
Did it just get a bit dusty in here or what? At the core of the movie you just have John Connor...a rambunctious youth who lacks a father figure in his life and is living with crappy foster parents. His mother is in a psyche ward and the one who ultimately brings stability in his life is a robot sent from the future by his future self!
On a complete side note, I would make an argument (a compelling one at that!) that without Terminator 2 one Mr. Schwarzenegger would not be governor of the state of California right now. First and foremost Arnold's filmography up to T2 was relatively long but not very distinguished. Sure he just flexed his comedic chops with Kindergarten Cop but he hadn't transitioned in to full blown phenom. He was a big action star but that was it. Terminator 2 put him over the top and made him in to a full blown international superstar. It played to his acting strengths and was an amazing action movie to boot. If Terminator 2 ended up sucking or just wasn't made I don't think Arnold is looked back upon nearly as fondly. One could even make an argument that post T2 he basically coasted for the rest of his acting career. True Lies (another Cameron Joint) and Terminator 3 are probably the post Terminator 2 highlights of his career.

Still Waiting
Since I just did a repost I feel like I owe you all some fresh content.
I'm still waiting for my air freshener scent.
-1 part sizzling bacon
-1 part freshly brewing coffee
-1 part cigarette smoke
I assure you all that these three smells in a trifecta (with cigarette smoke being very very feint) is amazing. There is no better smell to wake up too.

Blog Reruns: Walk the Dinosaur or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Walk the Dinosaur
I've hit a new low. I'm reposting an old post because I was rereading my own posts and found this one fucking awesome. From August 23, 2007.
So I'm on my way home from work and the radio is precariously tuned to JackFM. Its a five minute drive, but thank god I got in the car just as a new song was coming on. What song you ask? Why its none other than the smash hit "Walk the Dinosaur" from Was Not Was.
If you're not aware of this hit, then I suggest you google it. I'll post the main hook though.
This song made it to #7 on the US Billboard Charts. Thank you 1980's, the best decade ever.

Worst Ideas
Once in a while I find myself marveling at some of the amazing things man has created. The iPhone is a phenomenal device. Then there is air conditioning. At some point someone was pissed off about sweating all the time and was thinking, "Man...wouldn't it be cool to be comfortable during the summer?!?!"
On the other hand there are a few things that I used to think were pretty awesome but then I realized they actually suck. This is all a big intro to get you wondering and saying, "But Scott....what are you talking about?!" I am talking about pre-foaming soap.
Did anyone honestly say to themselves, "Yeah I like soap since it cleans my hands, but what is with all that 'rubbing my hands together to get a lather' nonsense?!?" No. No one said that before. I've also realized that the foam (at least in my mind) doesn't clean your hands as well since you're more likely to just rub your hands for a second or two and then just rinse it off. The other bad part about this is the home bottles of foaming soap seem to run out ten times faster than a regular dispenser of regular hand soap.
So screw your foaming soap.
ALSO: I have to admit...I'm actually kind of excited to see this movie.
Before everyone and their mothers starts mocking me I will say in my defense it has 3 things going for it.
1. Daniel Stern is in it. He narrated The Wonder Years. He played foil to Culkin in Home Alone. He was in uhhh, Bushwhacked and uhhhhh some other stuff. Seriously though I like Daniel Stern. Celtic Pride ruled!!
2. Kristen Wiig - an extremely funny and talented lady. Probably the best female comic performer on SNL since the first two or three seasons. Also I think she is totally hot.
3. Ellen Paige - I thought she was great in Juno. I also liked that movie which everyone has conveniently forgotten was actually good since it is now much easier to hate on and mock for its over the top hipsterish stuff. The movie was genuinely good and heartwarming in spite of all the 'honest to blogs'. Also I think Ellen is hot too. I feel weird saying that but she is 22! That said she and Michael Cera might as well just get married and be a couple that is perpetually looking absurdly young and its like "woah aren't they just kids" then you come to realize they are the same damn age as you.
I'm not joking when I say if Ellen Paige walked in to the bar i was at, even though I know how old she actually is, I would be thinking "You can't be in here!!!" Then I would awkwardly fumble around and pretend like I don't know who she actually is all while thinking of clever things I should say. Then she would leave 2 hours later and I would be like, "well there went my golden opportunity to say something clever."

The Running Man - Live Blogging Edition
Back in February I live blogged myself watching the Tom Hanks movie Big. This time around I thought I'd get a bit more ambitious. I'm going to live blog The Running Man. Starring none other than the governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger. For those who don't know, the Running Man takes place in the "future." The year is 2017. Convicted criminals are put into a television show where they must run from "stalkers." These 'stalkers' are men who hunt down the criminals and kill them. The rub is that if the criminal can escape the stalkers and make it to the end they win their freedom....except as revealed later no one actually wins and the supposed winners are always just killed. The one thing they didn't expect was BEN RICHARDS (Arnold). I'm going to kind of just outline the plot so when I start watching the movie I can just be off the cuff a bit more. Arnold is a helicopter pilot who is patrolling some refugee camp and they are rioting. He has orders to shoot them but as he points out "THEY JUST WANT FOOD GODDAMNIT!" He gets thrown into some sort of labor camp where he then escapes only to get caught again. He is now on the tv show and is chased but he starts kicking major ass. Ultimately he really fucks up everything by exposing the corruption of the television show (evidently its cool to murder people on live television as long as they can legitimately win their way to freedom but when its found out to be a ruse people are SHOCKED!!). Anyways here we go!!!
2:12 - "ALL THEY WANT IS FOOD FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!"
5:02 - Evidently in the future in the 'Wilshire Detention Zone' people have been put in to primitive hard labor camps that include both working in some sort of steel mill but also just breaking up rocks and what not. Looks pretty awesome. This is a lot more depressing than the 2015 future that I was promised in Back to the Future Part 2. No hoverboards for one. The Los Angeles Skyline looks pretty damn crazy for being a horrific terrible future as well. Pretty Blade Runner esque there.
17:10 - Captain Freedom's workout. Captain Freedom is played by Jesse Ventura. I'm sure when we were on set of the movie everyone was thinking "I bet we'll have two future governors working on this movie." Also realized I didn't say shit for the last 10 minutes...and to be honest there isn't as much to comment about as I thought there would be. I guess I'm a bit too in to this movie. I mean it would be easy to make some wise crack about how shitty it is but honestly, the movie isn't that compelling until Arnold gets thrown in to the "game." I'm going to fastforward a bit but I will take a few fun screenshots.
28:40 - Ben Richards is captured after trying to escape in the airport with his hostage. She is safe at home watching tv when the news report gets shown. In the news report they LIE!!!! They say he killed the ticket booth agent among many others when in fact he did not. Damn the liberal media...even in the future they are lying!!
38:00 - They now also have a video introducing Ben Richards to the viewers at home. They show how he was responsible for the 'Bakersfield Massacre' in which he actually refused to kill people. In the clips they show though they use the exact clips we saw that was the intro to the movie....which is obviously impossible. Thats actually a pet peeve of mine.
45:00 - Okay now the movie is getting good. The guys run in to their first stalker. This one is 'Sub-Zero'. Not the Mortal Kombat Sub zero. Instead this is an overweight asian hockey goalie sub zero who uses explosive hockey pucks and a sharp sword like goalie stick.
48:02 - Luckily Arnold is smart and uses his environment to his advantage. In this case that would be some razor wire that was on the top of a fence. He takes it and wraps it around Sub-Zeros neck and basically partially decapitates him with it/slits his throat.
48:38 - What we get next is arguably the greatest line performed in Cinema in the last 50 years.
"HERE IS SUB-ZERO.....NOW, PLAIN ZERO!!!"
I really want to know how in the hell that line makes any sense....at all? Sub Zero to Plain Zero...doesn't make sense. The way arnold performs it too...a lot of pathos. Good times. Click Here Since I can't Embed to Watch the Sub-Zero death scene and "Plain Zero" line.
51:02 - Our Next Stalker is introduced. Buzzsaw!!!!!! Get it...he has a chainsaw. Yes very clever. Buzzsaw...NOW PLAIN SAW!!!
51:35 - Two for Stalker update. Dynamo is also unleashed to hunt down Richards and Co. Dynamo's gimmick? He shoots lightning, has LED's all over his fat body, and loves to sing opera. I'm not joking. If you haven't seen this movie please go buy it right now.
1:01:16 - Buzzsaw after being ejected from his motorcycle gets in a bit of hand to hand with Arnold/Richards. Needless to say Richards overpowers Buzzsaw and forces the chainsaw up into his crotch resulting in this:
Classy Movie.
1:03:45 - I've neglected to mention a few subplots but that is basically because they suck and I'm lazy. The woman Richards kidnaps and tries to escape with at the beginning actually works for the TV network. She finds out that Richards has been framed and tries to get some evidence. She is caught and gets thrown in to the 'game' as well. Also the nerdy guy who is in the work camp is in this too along with the black guy that was with Richards as well. The nerdy guy JUST got friend by Dynamo and the black guy got really hurt by Buzzsaw.
1:04-25 - Did I mention Dynamo rides around in this mini Go-Kart and sings opera at the same time?? As it turns out Dynamo's go karts one weakness is slight hills as he quickly topples over and Richards looks like he is about to kill him. Instead he refuses and points out that he isn't going to kill a helpless man like the "sadistic scum" watching want him to!!! Take that!!!
1:09:52 - Fireball is introduced. If you couldn't guess, he shoots fire.
1:16:24 - You can tell they got lazy with this one. Fireball is lured in to a trap and his gas line on the flamethrower gets broken by Richards. You know this because Fireball repeatedly yells, "AHHH MY GAS LINE MY GAS LINE MY GAS LINE MY GAS LINE!!!!" Richards lights his flare and says, "How about a light?" HAHAHAHAH Get it? LIGHT!!! Like a cigarette except this time instead of lighting a smooth delicious cigarette and entering flavor country he enters an explosive fireball of death!! This should just be an anti-smoking advertisement.
1:17:12 - Captain Freedom is being recruited to go in after Richards but refuses since evidently the game of stalking has been corrupted and become too gimicky. Hence this shitty looking armor. "This is a sport of death and honor!!" declares Captain Freedom!
1:20:16 - After Captain Freedom's refusal to enter, through hilariously trite explanations the network decides to use what they claim to be modern computer graphics to overlay Richards on to an old video of some other guy dying. Thus the public is to never know what really happened and everyone thinks richards gets killed....but ohhh you just wait!!! Richards has also found the underground network of people trying to expose the truth. Earlier in the movie the super nerdy dude found the satellite uplink codes so they can hijack the signal and unleash the truth!!
This explanation I just made actually makes it sound like this movie has a legitimate plot of some sorts. It doesn't. Here is a shot of Richard's supposed death.
1:34:15 - Richards comes in, kills a few dudes, takes over and puts through the rogue signal exposing the legitimately evil ways that people were being killed with the crowd aghast!! Actually its fucking dumb because they're evidently okay with hunting down convicted criminals on television for sport/entertainment but they aren't okay with it once they found out that some of these criminals are wrongfully accused/don't actually get to win their freedom. By the way Richards kills the host of the show who throughout the movie was proven to be an asshole.
It ends with a touching song and a kiss.
I'll be the first to admit I got lazy with this one. I was enjoying watching the movie a bit too much and didn't have as much to say as I thought I would. I just hope you like the pictures.
P.S. If you're a Arnold newbie I suggest a crash course in a few movies to get up to speed in why I love this guy so much. You can watch these in any order but I would highly suggest you watch these immediately. Commando, Total Recall, The Running Man, Kindergarten Cop, and Batman & Robin.
P.S.S.
I just found this Youtube video of a few of the best "lines" from The Running Man. Watch and enjoy.
