    Well as long as this is speculation are there any of Arnold's movies which would be better as a remake? I'm thinking no, the originals were just fine.


    Perhaps as a preemptive disclaimer I should say every one excluding The Last Action Hero..

    Penultimate Fighter: A mixed martial arts tournament where the second-place fighter wins $ 10 million and a movie contract. The best fighter must act as emcee for county fair rock shows for the rest of his life.

    Hilarity ensues.

    Nice trick, Moff. I was all set to be pissed about a Running Man remake (although the Stephen King "Bachman Book" version could still make for a decent movie). You're evil enough to host your own reality t.v. show.

    @ShubNecktie:
    Definitely, if they actually worked from the original novel instead of just using the dust-jacket synopsis to write their script from, it would be a truly awesome movie. But if it comes out anything like the turn that Ah-nold laid, I have to ask...just how emphatically can one say "No thanks"?

    It has been a while since I read the book, but as I remember it, it might actually work as reality show.


    Contestant has to remain free for 30 days to win.
    He has to send in a video report every day.
    People are given money for a verified sighting of him.


    It might actually work...

    @rogue74656: Actually, it might work really well, as long as it was more like tag and less like shooting people in cold blood.

    Great post.


    We really need a show where people try to come up with the most pithy remark in response to something without showing they're really trying.


    Winners could recieve a gold star for their efforts.

    Flamewars? I have a better idea: put all the internet commentards in a big giant cardboard house. Then burn it the fuck down.

    I'll tell you what's hazardous! You're facing federal prosecution for at least half a dozen environmental violations!
