    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..

    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...

    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.

    @Dormouse II: The Wrath of Gryphon: I did do a ginormous post about Arnie a couple months back, which nobody read because it was like a whole book. This is distilled down to its essence, plus I've realy rethought the true nature of Arnie's acting greatness. Like the fact that he is able to be manly in a yellow unitard, something I forgot to mention last time.

    Funny thing is, I just Netflix'd The Running Man barely a month ago, and his sheer testosterone levels in that one completely mitigated the fact that yes, that is one bright canary yellow one piece body condom.
