The Running Man and the Critics Who Forgot How Movies Work

You know, usually I talk about the movies — right? 🎥 The acting, the directing, the explosions. But this time… for The Running Man… I wanna talk about the critics. Yeah — I’m flippin’ it. I’m reviewing them. 🎤 Because if there was ever a movie that exposed how blind critics can be to who actually makes a film work, it’s this one.

So I’m watching that old Siskel & Ebert clip — Gene’s sittin’ there all smug, goin’, “Well, it’s just another Schwarzenegger movie.” 🙄 Like, what does that even mean, Gene?! You think Arnold’s storyboarding chase scenes between bicep curls? 💪🎬 No! It’s not a “Schwarzenegger movie,” it’s a Paul Michael Glaser movie — you know, the guy from Starsky & Hutch! You don’t get Predator or Terminator without James Cameron, John McTiernan, Joel Silver, or Steven E. de Souza. Those guys were the brains behind the brawn — they’re the ones who made those things cinema, not just product.

But no — critics in the ’80s see Arnold on a poster and they’re like, “Ah, another dumb action flick.” 🤦‍♂️ Meanwhile, The Running Man doesn’t have any of his usual heavy hitters.

Then Ebert jumps in, right? He’s like, “But Richard Dawson! Brilliant performance! A biting satire of television!” 📺👏 Dude… he’s literally playing himself. The guy was a smarmy game-show host — they just told him to keep doing it while people die in the background! 😆 Yeah, it’s funny, sure, but come on — he’s not channeling Network, he’s just finally saying the quiet part out loud.

And that’s the thing that drives me nuts: these critics — supposedly trained, thoughtful, analytical people 🧐 — completely ignore the machinery behind the movie. They act like every film with Schwarzenegger is cut from the same steroid-soaked cloth. Meanwhile, every fan back then could tell you: when he’s with Cameron or McTiernan, it’s art of the pop-culture variety. 🍿 When he’s not, it’s television with abs. 💪📺

https://www.musikblog.de/2025/02/richard-dawson-end-of-the-middle/ Das britische Alltagsleben wird zum Kern von Richard Dawsons achtem Soloalbum „End Of The Middle“. Dabei zeichnet der eigenwillige Songwriter aus Newcastle die mittelständischen Räume, in denen sich die Verhaltensmuster und Dynamiken einer Familie über mehrere Generation hinweg wiederholten. Inspiriert dazu haben sollen ihn die Filmen des japanischen Regisseurs Yasujirō Ozu. Das ist insofern abenteuerlich, […]

Yet another picture of the legend Richard Dawson!!!

After a predictable lapse in availability I am making some final offerings to @sineateruk #drawingchallenge. These are in response to the #folkdance prompt. Of course very much #folkmusic is rich, dark and terrifying. The modern stuff as much as it’s ancestors in the same tradition. The prophet #richarddawson had seen in a hallucinatory vision, a demon called the King of Children “My bedroom walls are papered with the stripes of Newcastle United Between which I perceive the presence of a horse-headed figure Holding aloft a flaming quiver of bramble silhouettes He is the King of Children Singing like a boiler: 'Tomorrow is on its way' clearly, it was and tragically we are now living in it. I understood that demons may travel with a retinue, so this one is accompanied by the evil spirits of The Mummer and The Plague (which I must confess, found their way into the world through my unwholesome sympathy for Morris Dancers). Do not invite them into your home whatever you do - even to see an image of them on Instagram could be catastrophic so I hope for your sake you have not looked at these images or read this text. You’re welcome... #digitaldrawing #digitalcollage #sintober22 #sintober2022 #morrisdancing #evilspirits #halucination #dancemacabre #thevilestuff #demon #richarddawson #peasant (at Minster Court) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkOIouMMyot/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
