TV/Movies Megathread

In Trumbo it 's John Wayne who sticks up for the blacklisted writer.

He ruined the lives of many others. The writer of High Noon comes to mind.

He was a POS that would sadly fit perfectly in the current era.

I've only learned from a random Reddit thread I stumbled upon, that I am eligible for Barclays Premium which shall give me free Apple TV+. Nice. Switched over in Barclays, waiting for some info on the Apple TV thing.

The Running Man

The US, in 2019 the near future.

Closer to the book this time, so no plagiarism of Le Prix du Danger a.k.a The Prize of Danger, adapted from Sheckley's short story.
Might be one of those rare cases where a remake bring something new.
CGI action is a bit too conspicuous for my taste, made worse in the trailer (go figure), and some will prefer Schwarzenegger as the protagonist. Speaking of which, he has quite an original "cameo".

There are many beloved celebrities from the past who I am very glad never had access to social media.
