Not just an attention-grabbing title, and I'm sure some of you already knew this but it blew my mind when I read it on this Cracked article

Here's the story:

Quote2012's Dredd was a man-trapped-in-a-building action movie that was equal parts science fiction and footage of a dead whale's stomach exploding. A lot of the movie's goriest, most violent moments happen after characters take a drug called Slo-Mo that slows down the user's perception of time and makes his surroundings glimmer with a diamond-like radiance ... and then Dredd busts into the room and kills everyone and we get to see bullets tear people's faces apart in vivid, stomach-turning detail. All the Slo-Mo hyper-violence was set to a beautiful, majestic musical score.

Dredd's composer, Paul Leonard-Morgan, showed an early cut of the movie to his friend and massive Judge Dredd fan Geoff Barrow, an original member of the trip-hop band Portishead. The Slo-Mo scenes reminded Barrow of a cool thing he had seen on the Internet where someone slowed down a Justin Bieber song by 800 percent and the result was an entirely different song that felt ethereal, otherworldly, and much more dramatic. Beautiful, even. Did I mention it was a goddamn Justin Bieber song? Because it was. It was a goddamn Justin Bieber song.

Take a gander, it is almost identical to Ma Ma's Requiem. Astonishing.

Leonard-Morgan used it as a temp track in the early cut - then composed his own version for the final thing.

Here - for good measure is the Bieber-free Mama's Requiem:

That thread is a crime against humanity.

Thanks, CFM!

If only we could see it in slo-mo. Never-ending bliss.
Whatever happened to Rico, Dolman and Cadet Paris? I'm sooo out of the loop.
