General Discussion

There is a big segment of America that loves punishing people, & the more humiliating, the better. It feeds their moral superiority complex. The white supremacists & evangelicals come to mind. It's sickening, & that I know some of them is sad & disturbing. I just want to scream at them, "What the fuck happened to you?"

"The Running Man," both the book & the original movie, used convicts as game show bait. It's one of the few times I thought the movie was better than the book, cuz it captured the game show feel & shallowness of America better, & frankly, I like Arnold in roles like that. Also, Richard Dawson as Killian, the game show host, was perfect casting. I see there was a new Running Man movie last year.

We've lost so much, so fast, it's staggering.
