Dredd (2012)

[Hawkmumbler]

I should imagine Japan has always had a market for Dredd at least, the cynical, brutal tone is very much in keeping with some of the more popular teenage-adult manga such as Great Teacher Onizuka or Gantz. Even Death Note has tone's of Dredd plasterd all over it.

Here's hoping Dredd is a hit in Japan (or at least finds a cult following).

RE; The Japanese fella in the black helmet, suit and tie:

I think this is a PR person for the film.
The first pic is inspired by the recent election over there. In Japan, all the political candidates go on the telly to make an address to the general public and talk about their 'pledge', looking very much like this (minus helmet, of course).

Japanese political party's names always end with ' toh' or ' doh'. So his name sign says 'Judge Dredd-Doh',(nowt to do with Homer Simpson), which is the Japanese way of pronouncing our beloved lawman's name.

He really shouldn't smile though!

Pshaw. Judge Pal can do it, sure our man in Hondo can.

Judge Pal is available for parole hearings, Zizzers Anonymous meets, and children's parties.  Dobbin is extra.

If your apartment blocks needs blitzing just call Rent-a-Pal
We nark kooks and juves and spugs and ghouls at Rent-a-Pal
Hear the Phantom of the Shoppera sing a haunting melody 
Remember what you see is not brutality but Rent-a-Pal



So, er... Yeah.  Dredd in Japan!  Should be great!

If nothing else, Dredd's success in the far East might inspire Japanese females to forsake Sailor Moon and Gothic Lolita styles in favour of a full-on Judge-Inspector Inaba cosplay outfit.  Now that's something I'd really like to see!

Got a thing for hot Japanese chicks. Cosplay one as Inaba and my right hand will have a field day!*


*I'm going to stop the gross comments now.

Hot Japanese chicks (cosplayed or not) are also my thing (just ask Mrs Zanti Misfit), so I see where you are coming from.  Gross comments are more than welcome, don't stop, but all this rampant Japanophilia may alienate other boarders.   Apologies, fellow Dredd fans.  Domo Arigato.
