And hoover bags.

Incorrect. Hoover bags are placed in a vacuum cleaner they don't exist there.

Are you saying that as soon as a hoover bag (the product) is placed inside a vacuum cleaner, the bag ceases to exist? If this were true, no hoover bag would ever fill up with dust because it wouldn't be there while the closed-up vacuum cleaner was running. However, hoover bags do get full of dust and fluff, therefore they do exist inside the vacuum. QED.

No. I am not saying that.

Oh yeah? Well you were touching the dog and the dog farted, so you farted, so ner.

what are you talking about??? Odd.

good idea,

Incorrect. If I put you in a vacuum you'd exist there, for a while.

But the original post didn't say anything about "for a while". So I am correct, the original post was wrong.

Products don't exist in a vacuum

Except for electron microscopes, GPS satellites and some supermarket products.

Has Uncle Pat ever said who Nemesis sounds like? I know he's fond of putting voices to his characters (usually Robert Mitchum's).

Why is all the good stuff on channels like this and never ever make it toeven netfilx/prime never mind cooncil telly 

Because Neflix/prime are trash

All media is not trash.
Well, yes, they're trash. All media is essentially trash from Hollywood to Youtube, from novels to music. A high percentage of their content is mediocre at best, with a bit of decent stuff and a pinch of great stuff to make sifting through all the shite worthwhile, if not financially efficient. That seems to be more or less how everything within the fields of human endeavour work; produce as much as possible in the hopes that a sufficient portion will prove profitable enough to offset the losses incurred by the shite. For us peasants, living in sheds and with limited means available to contribute much to this ongoing experiment, other methods of accessing culture are necessary.  *cough*P1R4T3B4Y*cough*

Yes, if it wants to compete with Marvel, Star Wars etc. A big budget for a niche IP.

It's nothing to do with competing with Marvel or Star Wars, it's having a product that one of the major streamers will want to carry. Doesn't matter if it's Netflix, Prime, Paramount, Disney+ or Apple TV, they're not going to look at a genre series like this if it's been made on a shoestring.

Yes it is, naive to think otherwise. The major streamers will look at the stuff 2000AD are trying to do in comparison to what is on other streaming services, Marvel & Star Wars for example. Products don't exist in a vacuum so it does play a part.

This was great, 2000AD listen to him if you want to survive.

I guess there are things like petitioning arts funding organisations for help financing the project or starting some sort of "We Want Dredd" campaign but I'm not sure there would be enough interest.

It's not about the level of interest, it's literally about the insane amount of money required. Minimum table stakes for this sort of thing on a major streaming service is $10 million per episode.

For something like a Dredd TV series, which is going to require purpose-built sets and FX elements for pretty much every shot, I suspect we'd be waaaay over a $100M budget for an 8-10 episode season.

My gut feeling is you'd be talking about $250M for a full season. This, based on a property that didn't make its money back on a $50M movie...? That's a tough sell.

Yes, if it wants to compete with Marvel, Star Wars etc. A big budget for a niche IP. If Rogue Tropper somehow does really well financially then maybe.

and then we'll settle down into a sort of hybrid thing where we all accept that a human prompting and tweaking an AI generator is still art.

I will never accept.

AI can go to hell

AI's response:

weird

Okay, there's Doyle.  Where's Bodie?

I prompted the AI thusly: "Bodie and Doyle from The Professionals, but both dressed up as a Judge from the world of Judge Dredd."

And it did this:



(Or did I just take a photo at Dounreay-Con?)
