Makes sense. The author was "Richard Bachman." Richard Bachman was a pen name for STEPHEN KING. He wrote under a pen name to see if his books only sold because they had his name attached to them. (Bachman's books became successful enough a reporter started looking into Bachman, and found SK's signature on something.... When re-released as SK books, those books sold a lot better. So, with a nobody's name on them, they sold well. With SK's name, they sold even better.) Fun movie. Props for Dweezil Zappa's line- "Don't touch that dial." "WHAT'S THE GREATEST TELEVISION SHOW IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD?" "THE RUNNING MAN!!!" "WHO LOVES YOU AND WHO DO YOU LOVE?" "KILLIAN!!!" "IT'S SHOWTIME!!!" (No, not a round, I just like those lines.)

The Running Man Richard Dawson parodied his Family Feud gameshow hosting. Schwarzenegger says, "I'll be back." (To which Dawson replies, "Only in the reruns.") George

Galen is here? I thought I dun chased off all the chreeshtens. Oh well.

Since I'm sure: "I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies."

So, this movie is scheduled for a remake. I imagine they will change the setting, as the original was set in the distant future of 2019. In this future, it is said in the movie's promotional material, America's finest people don't run for president. They run for their lives. It's not a documentary, although some of its "reality tv" predictions did come true (if you paint with a broad enough brush). The rights to the story on which this movie was based were purchased by someone who didn't know who the author was. Appropriately, the name of the movie was the nickname of a political campaign tour bus in the early aughts (a little over 20 years ago). The villain was played by a man remembered less as an actor than by the profession he parodies in this movie. With a non-literal wink and a nod, the main character utters a line made famous by the actor who plays him in another movie/franchise entirely.

Beetlejuice.

Shoot, I thought this was easy flicks. Never mind. Help Me Rhonda "It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in"

Wowzers. I had no idea that grift still existed.

Not me.

Did anyone attend the Rock of 2024? I just saw an ad selling tickets for 2025.

I hope you are still vertical :)

Some of us are still around :)

What you said was correct, so "Peanuts" is not it. In other news, I guarantee you that the American/good guy was not a dog (nor any form of canine.) He was, however, very obviously patriotic. I don't recall the Red Baron himself ever appearing in this cartoon. However, that having been said, that doesn't mean the rest of the main cast.....

Perhaps because he was a beagle? Snoopy was always "flying missions" against the Red Baron, who was from WWI Germany. But the main characters in Peanuts weren't German... George

No. Think for a moment. Why did the American never utter a single word?

That's it.
