One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

It's pretty damn ironic that Paramount is behind The Running Man
The anti-monopoly message of The Running Man, aimed at a blacklist-happy Network, makes it hard not to see its own studio as its villain.
