Dredd (2012)

[Steve Green]

You should have said a Novelty Dredd Car Horn.

That would be so cool - 'DROKK DROKK!'

"Perp, Perp", surely?

[Hawkmumbler]

So when can we expect this short, then?

That's Judge Toadd's version.

Was that a public vote thing? And I wonder what the criteria were.

Much as I enjoyed Dredd, there wasn't anything particularly outstanding about the action (slo-mo drugs bust excepted) that made me want to go back and see it again and again from an "action" perspective.

It has some great character moments though, that most modern action movies utterly lack.
And that's what keeps me coming back!

It's got Judge Dredd in it!  Isn't that enough?
He could be issuing parking tickets and I'd still watch it repeatedly.

So I can see that as a reason for some of the fans of the comic to watch and like it but to a civilian? I would have thought that it seemed a little "underwhelming" in the action stakes.

Mrs G's not read any Dredd. She loves the film, because:

- It's fast-paced and isn't full of bloated crap;
- It's unsanitised, and you actually see repercussions for actions;
- It has satisfying gender balance, with two especially well-rounded female roles.

She saw the film because of me, but she like it because of the film itself.

It could be nothing but it could be interesting. A friend of mine deals with security at pinewood. He said access was required for a new scope group. Scope groups in this case being very very early feasibility, location concepts etc. They can't call anything by its real name but it's usually obvious what the film is. There is a scope group for a 'gritty urban scifi' code named 'd2'. Make of that what you will.
