Nice one, I've just mentioned that elsewhere I think.

The original story was far more interesting (and King wrote it in two days, he claims, round the clock).
Oh, and I forgot about the original Rollerball. (But stay the fuck away from the John McTiernan remake -- quite easily the worst movie ever made, IMO.)
I totally agree there, the original Rollerball was fantastic, although I think the remakes of Deathrace were rubbish too, perhaps OK as stand alone movies but I dont like their association, even in name with the original one. The original Deathrace was a good reflection on infatuation with violence or bloodsports, even if it can appear a little like the wacky races to a modern viewer, the remakes were like some sort of gritty reboot of Too Fast, Too Furious.
No they aren't.
Have not seen Hunger Games (U.S.) yet but loved Battle Royale(Japanese). I suspect that the Hunger Games will have 20somethings playing the role of the youth.
One of the things I hate about U.S. censors is that they will allow only a little if any depiction of violence on children (via the rating system). Why is that? Is the life of a brat worth so much more than that of an adult that artistic integrity must be compromised?

Battle Royale was much better than the Running Man....I still need to watch Death Race 2000.
