I'm not sure if I actually caught the film version but I always assumed Yuppie And The Alien was a nod to that.

Reading that, I couldn't help but think of Yuppie And The Alien from GTA Vice City.

Hey guys don't know if this has been posted or linked anywhere on here but there is a facebook page called Make a DREDD Sequel and all they want is to get to 5000 likes to progress so get yourselfs over there and just click like! ON this sort of note I've noticed a surge on web sites (not just fan types) of people and more often than not press saying Dredd 2 needs to happen as they wish to see more of Urbans Dredd now they have seen the Blu ray.What a bloody shame that (a) the initial promotion for this film was piss poor at best and (b) It didn't try to distance itself enough from that god awful 95 movie as most people I know thought it was a direct sequel to it. :( . Been watching all the dvd's I got for xmas again last few weeks which was all of last years action/scifi stuff and I have to say Dredd outshines them all,still keep finding nice touches in the background.As for karl as Dredd think anyone else in the role would have been hard pushed to beat his performance.Deserves an award. :)

and (c) if you wanted to see a non-3D showing then it was tough luck. I keep going on about this but I saw this point come up in a bunch of reviews as a factor to put people off. So certainly wasn't just me.

Yup - you just look at the screen.

Do you mean "Oz: The Great and Powerful has just come out, how easy is it to find a 2D showing of that, to make comparisons with Dredd 3D" ?

Well looking at today my local cinema (Vue Cinema) has three showings in 3D and three showings in 2D, going to the next closest cinema (Empire Cinema) we have four showings in 3D and eight in 2D. Man, that was kinda disheartening making this comparison  :(

Telling, though.

Very telling.

Thrilled when I heard Dredd would be in 3D but simply took it as read there would be plenty of 2D prints out there too.

It does still seem odd that they didn't do this, more money for the 3D tickets sure, but why wouldn't you cover yourself by giving the option?

Money junkyism can sometimes distort the thinking process.

Quotemost people I know thought it was a direct sequel

I have never understood that, given the title.
