Ahhhnnnolllddd is: "The Running Man" in 1987


Let's face it. If your an American guy my age, Ahnold rules. He always did. "The Running Man" is of course one of the Ahnold ass-kickin' classics. Aside from politics, which is a tough area to deal with and takes a lot of deep layer peeling for us citizens to really know what the fine print says, he still rules. Political parties are bullshit - unfortunately we have to appoint officials that fall within these stupid little categories that make people feel snug & cozy about (just like American pop-culture). There may be things instilled or backed by "The Governator" that look good or look bad on the surface. Yet, if you really want to talk smack about politics, then you gotta know what the hell you're talking about. I know a lot more from over the last couple of years and the most important thing I've learned is this: You can't always just listen to what people say, you have to investigate the policies and propostions yourself. It doesn't matter if you're for any particular party (except for appointing a certain position to tip the balance in an area where a party may be failing), you just have to know that many good reform decisions have a downside to them. Some are frankly just the right thing to do and have no downside. Some politicians are hollow and demonic, some are stupid, some are both, some want to do the right thing and are patriotic, some are stupid, some are both. Also, religion CAN NOT influence political decisions. For example, if you speak to a school teacher about education reform, you must know about where they live, what are the circumstances, what grade level they teach, if they get reform in one way does it hurt something else, is this person religious?, etc. I have friends & family that are school teachers in California, but I have yet to ask them some particulars on Schwarzenegger's conduct. I'd like to think that our "Governator" wants to do the right things. Some say he is evil now, some say he is good and cares. At least for kicking cinema-ass and "pumping you up", Ahnold is the man.
Anyway, here I give you the awesome, out-of-print original score by one of my favorite composers: our main man Harold Faltermeyer. Hunt for the hidden link and have fun!
Here Governor Ventura and "The Governator" have a disagreement on education policy reform.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNOLLLLDDDDD!!!
