Best Dredd Movie Ever.

Damn that look good !

Hi.

Does anybody remember a mention of a Dredd animation that was shown to fans at a convention - a sort of pilot for an animated series ? Sometime in the 80s. Or 90s. I think it was in the Megazine.

Thanks in advance.

Could those 'three stooges' be Cops? After all the DREDD film is allegedly set during the early years of Justice Dept.

Perhaps that's a grim metaphor for the film. Old style policing literately thrown out the building to be replaced by criminal Gun Law -and then the Judges.

That's a good idea, but they're not cops.

Surely Ezquerra block should look more like this...

Okay, maybe I'm stating the obvious, but what do we do with Judge Death ? He's dead, but still with us because he can't die...

Never met the man, so can't comment, but I like a lot of his early work. He did some of my favourite Future Shocks before Zenith. I'm in two minds about The Invisibles - it's either pretentious bollocks or a masterful comment on consumerism and pop culture. Or it's a masterful comment on consumerism and pop culture because it's pretentious bollocks.

Calm down, you two.

Now, who knows how they're going to do those flashes on Dredd's - and the other Judges' - helmet visors ? After the cross-piece on the nose, and the respirator "badge", they're part of the signature of Dredd's look, so they ahve to be there, right ?

He'd met the dealer in the usual place, looking for the hot new thing everyone was talking about. "Got any sliders ?"

"Sure, buddy, sure." And the dealer took out two rainbow colored capsules. "These are usually twenty-five apiece, but for my regulars it's half price. You buy one, you get one free. And grud help you if you get caught with them."

He'd heard the lawmaster on the way back home, tried to keep cool and ignore it. Then it pulled right in front of him, the judge shouting an order, and there was nowhere to ditch the capsules. "What the sneck." he thought, and swallowed them both. The judge

striding towards

him

sounds of silence in the dazzling dark. loathing selves loiter. mountain of light from the ground become sky. demon bureaucrats sort and assess. sifting paper. work. our citadel of trivia. their senses prickle. meta ears flourish in ethereal brine. feral juves scouring the sands. grouping. squadrons forming orders barking war is coming. demons form defenses. half-dog Benji wiggles his nose. so cute. fighting now with sandballs hitting hard and killing dead falling wounded walking. some sleep eternal. half-dog Benji caught in the crossfire. "I just wanted to go for a walk". and so did i Benji, so did i. So did I. SO. DID. I. the lawman points to myself as a blur. "hold it, creep". grim granite face pushed to mine. stern stare through the visor. i can see his eyes. oh, no. I CAN SEE HIS EYES. "what's your name, creep". there are no words. no words. only fear and itself. "dredd to control". two control. when one isn't enough. "another slider user". "junction of Bosch and Escher underpass". "med wagon on its way". the rabbit hole warps through the looking glass splintering psychic shards. weft with threads of the meta-text. slipknot tightens across the wonder land. village of liddells sails under a white flag. none can with stand. holistic sofa rotating onscreen. split level synonyms in unison on velvet. in my minds eye. no melting clocks. "give him two months for use". "six for possession". half-dog Benji looked sad. "who's gonna feed me when you're in the cubes ?"

Nice work, Gordy.

the only downer for me is the black and white art. Looks like it really wants to be coloured in.

Same here.

Because limericks are easy, done by one person, and quick, plus they can be rude, which always brings out teh creativity on this board...

I worked that out just after I posted
