FUTURE SHOCK! 2000AD Documentary announced

[dweezil2]

My take on what Scott Ian was saying is, while a lot of things claim to be punk and to the left politically 2000AD is the real deal.
That's how I interpreted his comment anyway.

[Dog Deever]

It's possible he's referring to only the punk 'scene'- the ages old rift between 'fashion punks' and 'anarchopunks' (oversimplified terms), rather than the broader sense of the traditional left that has nothing really to do with 'the rock scene' as such.

[JOE SOAP]

I liked it up to the bit with the American dude with the goatee giving it all that about "left-wing shit" As a dyed-in-the-wool Leftie I have to take issue with that remark. Hopefully he doesn't make that great a contribution to this otherwise splendid endeavour. I look forward to seeing the whole thing in the very near future.

I wouldn't take it too seriously; there's both left-wing and right-wing shit and I don't care what his views are -Scott Ian has been relatively left-of-centre in any political statements he's made- but I suspect he's alluding to the violent and irreverent side of 2000AD in contrast to being preachy, P.C. or worthy.

As both Alan Grant and John Wagner have said, "the more they made Dredd a bastard, the more the fans liked him".

In meathead US popular cultural terms, the phrase left-wing is used as a synonym for being a pussy, a hippy, or for being weak. They think Obama is of the left.

If I know my 2000 AD history I am guessing that most of the other interviewees (Pat Mills, John Wagner etc.) are from the opposite end of the spectrum from your Anthrax man

Well from what I know of Anthrax (and this is only through their music), I don't think they are.

That's cool.

The World Premiere was at Mondo Con, in Austin yesterday!

Here are a few tweets that have popped up, with the first one bing from the team behind it:-

- Totally pumped after the first ever screening of FUTURE SHOCK! Amazing day at @MondoConAustin, bring on round 2.
- Just got out of @FutureShockDoc and it was amazing. Had no idea 2000AD was a thing & now totally inspired to seek it out & read it.
- The @FutureShockDoc was a high point of Day 1 of #MondoCon. Engaging and thorough. Took me back to my misspent youth. Seek it out! #fb

Sounds like job done!

I'll be seeing it here in LA October 3rd as part of the BeyondFest. To say I can't wait would be something of an understatement.

Ha! Well, it's free but I think I'll be skipping out of work early for this one...

Gotta love that quote (and thanks to Mr Burdis for digging it out)

Can't wait to see this whenever the chance arrives. Did a bit of a dig any future dates but no luck. Am I just being daft or impatient?
