Sorry, "whether" not "weather". Fucking lack of edit!

[YOU THINK]

You interpret it how you wish.

Isn't that what you're doing?

I read and hear a lot of people describing it as some kind of intelligent, complicated premise. It isn't.

Don't you mean YOU THINK it isn?

You'd have to be some kind of idiot to get lost there.

I resent that! Not everyone has an eye for plot structure and I would like know weather I am talking to an open mind or just another bigoted cunt.

On second thought forget it, I know where this is going. Just forget I ever posted here.

A film doesn't have to have a complex plot with a big pay off at the end to be good. In fact, very few films manage to pull that off, even the Nolan Batman films, which I think are a little bit too pretentious and bloated because of the "need" to be epic.

Why does everyone always talk about the Batman films when discussing Christopher Nolan? I mean, what was that other film he did with a complex plot with a big pay off at the end? Oh yeah, Inception!

Or are we strictly talking about comic book movies?

Inception complex? No.

Bollocks! But seen as not everyone was impressed with the Dredd then each to his own I geuss.

Ron's beautiful Red Dwarf strip - http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,37458.0/topicseen.html

That...is....just...AWESOME! My respect for Ron as an artist goes up for that.

AAhh, the Big Lebowski! Still is and forever will be my favourite Cohen film.

Dude: What about the toe?

Walter: Forget the fucking toe!

Not counting the Dizney films that's only 7 films in the last 30 years or so, you have to admit that's not too bad. And yes, Ma-Ma's plunge was indeed mesmerizing and creative.

I bet there's loads more!  Those seven were just the ones I could think of off the top of my head!

Well, you also forgot Rico's(or some resemblance of him) plunge in the abominable stallone film.

Safest thing would have been to stun her, and keep her contained while Tech judges come in to disarm devices.

That would have made a rather boring climax don't you think?

Like I said earlier, I was nitpicking.  I wouldn't change the film at all. 

That said, I am getting a bit bored of baddies falling to their death:
ROTJ - the Emperor falls down a shaft
Die Hard - Hans Gruber thrown of a building
Tim Burton Batman - Joker goes over the edge
Judge Dredd - Rico thrown of Statue of Liberty
Cliffhanger - Lithgow out of a helicopter (I think)
Goldeneye - Alec Trevelian, off a satelitte dish

Pretty much every Disney film


On the plus side, at least Ma-Ma's fall was one of the most beautiful out of all the examples above.

I think we can be certain that freedom of speech and right to one's opinion has been completely buggered when these sort of emotionally unstable people are granted access to a worldwide social network like the internet, spamming the hell out of the social communities and possibibly causing more emotional problems for even more emotionally unstable people who happen to be reading their gibberish(and not the Fringe World dialect mind you). What baffles me is with places like facebook, twitter and youtube feeling the pitch of these problems, how come are forums like this place the only ones doing SOMETHING to stamp out the problem?

Hell, it's not just people with problems who are trolls. Some of them are just downright fucking evil and nasty. I remember reading some news column where a families son committed suicide and spammers somehow got a hold of the family web adress and bombarded them with e-mails mocking their sons suicide with various videos and comments. These sort of people are scum and I am repulsed at the fact that they are allowed to cause such emotional harm to people and get away with it.

Little miffed after reading comments by some twat on youtube claiming to be a fan of the comic and that the stallone film was better because it captured a "great side of Dredd" and the new film took the kids approach with the seriouse look which didn't work. What a total fucking moron!

Sorry, just had to get that out.

I may have to break my promise of never buying a blu ray film if all those juicy extras are not on the DVD.

I have brought this to the attention of mods with more superpowers than me.

Looks like your request came through for I just recently got access to the film discussion.

Cheers to you and to the LAW...er, I mean mods!

How about Judge Charlie Brooker?

Well, as the chinese zoo keeper said to the last remaining panda: FUCK THAT!
