Except mine. I'm always right about every aspect of everything.

These were handed out at comic-con, and are popping up on US ebay. Sellers say they're full-size at 3"x2", though I think the film badge is more like four and a quarter by just over three inches.

No. Just because you can perceive things faster doesn't mean that your able to move muscles faster. It doesn't alter physics just the mind.

which is going to watch that bullet sail at your face even more frightening.

Last week i spent two days off my face on diazepam and tramadol, which had a similar effect on me as 'slow-mo' does in the dredd movie. I did not find myself able to react faster than usual, and instead spent a lot of time sitting down and staring into the middle-distance, and dribbling.

However, like adrian, everytime i think about this- especially after seeing the clip- it refuses to make sense, no matter how many times it's explained.

I think they are pins to the Dredd badge. it's one single sheet not two.

I think CF will be chomping at the bit to get his hands on those. They look really nice to me.

I'm not sure the whole implication of you brain perceiving everything at 1/100th the normal speed... Presumably, rather than being slow to respond, they will see Dredd entering the room in slow motion and be able to respond 100 times faster than normal.

That means in such gunfights we have to believe Dredd is over 100 times faster than anyone else, or it provides a scenario where Dredd has to find creative ways to out-gun them (which would be preferable as a movie concept).

I don't know where the confusion is. Pop a handful of Vicodin and see how fast you'd respond to an A-list riot cop bursting into your bedroom unannounced.

Its proper paradoxical.

The badge is there to keep the orange dots in place.

It's a bit weird having been the only one here who's seen the fucking thing. haha!

No spoilers, I promise but it's safe to say the Slo-Mo stuff is used quite sparingly and as a result, when it kicks in it's extremely effective. This isn't some Zack Snyder Watchmen fucking asshole bullshit where the movie would be half the length if it all ran at normal speed. It's always from the perspective of someone who's just taken the drug and as you can imagine, if they're showing us it means Dredd usually ain't too far away.

They've really gone to town with marketing the whole slow-motion footage so it's easy for people to think this is going to be the whole spine of the movie but rest easy. They know what they're doing.

Thanks. That's the one thing that concerned me a bit. I'm sure it works great in small doses but the best part of the clip is where things speed up and he lets loose with the Lawgiver.

Wonder why they persist with this regional lockout - I can understand it for premium content, but for EPK type stuff, and something that is easily circumvented it's a bit weird.
