Only one comment so far, by some twit who can't spell September.

Rotten Tomatoes has one of those 'Want-To-See' clickers that makes you feel like you're doing something to help the film (currently only 96%), and some breathtakingly obtuse 'reviews'.

Why not put them right? http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dredd/#want_to_see

Nineties Megazine artist Cyril Julien is explaining why the Stallone film's uniform is much more faithful to the comic design than the new film's version here:

You'll recognise at least one other contributor's signature posting style too.

Rather funny that the pics he posts of his work, after moaning about the grubbiness of the DNA version compared to the Stallone blingfest, is Dredd scruffy looking, knackered pads, etc.

They already did something similar with littlebigplanet.

Don't know if it was instigated by a fan at media molecule, or if it came from Rebellion though.

As a sidenote, Microsoft banned firearms as Avatar purchases at the beginning of the year...

Yep. I think the other point that several forum members tried (unsuccessfully) to get across to him was that having drawn Dredd doesn't necessarily make your opinion on film adapatations any more relevant than having read Dredd.

That's probably doing more harm than good.

Yes, and I knew you'd say that.  Now stop this.  It's silly.

When I got in from work on Friday evening and saw those set photographs from Dredd, I imagined they'd be the subject of the same kind of coverage the official pictures and poster received recently. When they hadn't been picked up in the first few hours, I started contacting the various contributors on sites like Ain't it Cool who had posted previous Dredd news; and again, when news of this Wednesday's advance screening broke.


Not a jot or titter.


It might sound obvious to some of the hardened newshounds among you, but I'd never realised how contingent the definition of news was. If those pictures and word of advance screenings had come from Lionsgate's/Entertainment's Press office, they would have been obediently posted alongside the 'scoops' on Abraham Lincoln and the Thundercats cartoon series those same sites have been spoon fed by PR wonks.

I'd really bought the bullshit line that the dawn of the information age meant we were all citizen journalists. I hope Dredd's distributors have employed some super-connected marketing mavens to act on their behalf; because it seems to me that unless nerd-news aggregators are scared of pissing off someone they might be counting on for exclusive access to Robert Pattinson in the near future, news isn't really newsworthy.

Makes you wonder who's doing the Syrian opposition's PR.
