12. The Running Man (1987)

a poem.

arnold schwarzenegger...
yes he was the terminator
and now, the gods require, that he's the governator.
cause in all of his many films
he never, not once, says "cya later"...
but always he'll "be back."

and although we know it's best
terminator sits with the rest...
cause im prepared to take a stand
to vote for running man
as the best arnold movie ever
not depending on the weather
nor daytime/nighttime treasures.

the setting is a game
it's a show, in a future american flame
like a soaring, falling paper plane
where the convicts, seen as lame,
fight the "good-guys" to the death
in a game called running man.

and although he was convicted
he was wrongly - (feds hand picked 'em)
he must fight the fight,
that no one's ever won... but he just might.

it's the future and the tv's
are as big as yoda's "maybes"
which are huge
(cause he never guesses)

he wears spandex through the cold
and the battle scenes are bold
no one has ever won the game
the running man...

but he swears to take a stand,
find the rebels,
start a band,
and he'll never die before the score is settled.

watch this movie
it will be groovy
then hock a loogie
touch a boobie
and move on.

the end

::


basically, it's the future, and there's a very popular game show called the running man where convicts are brutally killed by all sorts of different "hero" type characters on national television.

it's my favorite arnold schwarzenegger flick... only a possible second to...

the terminator
kindergarten cop
eraser
commando
terminator 2
end of days
the 6th day

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

love,
Alec
