Diminished Responsibility

Quoteanyone should understand the over hype problem after the recent Prometheus fiasco

I watched a trailer for it and was damn sure i'd seen the movies entire plot, it left little to the imagination.

I have no quibbles with the quality of this film now, none at all. After all District 9 only cost 30 mil and took everyone by surprise, I think DREDD will look far better.

Hey, another new pic from the film!










Just kidding, obviously.  That's me back in 1995.  Oh, the humanity.

Looks like a shot of 1/2 of the Village People.

Cool, what were you doing on that film, monkey dude (any gossip or titbits from the set?) and is that Sly beside you?

Nothing so exciting I'm afraid mate!  That pic was taken on the mean pedways of Cardiff City Centre.  It was some promotional thing they were doing when the 1995 film came out.  No-one famous was dressed as Dredd unfortunately. 

I thought it was the most exciting thing ever though, and ran to Boots to get a disposable camera so I could immortalise my moment with my comicbook (anti)hero.  That photo has been kicking around my house for ages - forgot about it until recently!

Yeah, but even the film can't take away that awesome moment I had with Dredd!   :D

Great poster. Very atmospheric. Makes Dredd look.... well a bit like a hollow suit really. An extension of the fact half his face is normally hidden, and it works very well.

...and nowhere on that poster is there even any indication of who's playing the role. Bit unusual.

It's a teaser poster so the information on it has been kept to a minimum which also suits the image, all the relevant information will be on the main posters. I'm sure he could have kicked off and git his people to jam his name on there somewhere but as has been said:

All credit to Karl Urban for a) wanting to do the film b) actually having read Dredd c) keeping the helmet on and d) for not being a primadonna.

He has been a good sport throughout in what is a tricky gig, what with the whole keeping the helmet on business. Especially as he is a good-looking chap who is a hit with the ladies (and some fellas too), whereas Stallone looks like mince shoved into the leg of a pair of tights and it would have been a mercy if he'd kept his helmet on ;)
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

How's that life-size meat-puppet of Stallone comin' along?

Quotethe same reason that one of the oldest posters, who's apparently a really big fan of Dredd and 2000ad, is such a negative and miserable sod - sometimes people will post anything to get a reaction.

Apparantly?
Ok, just to clarify my point 250+ pages, nearly 3,800 posts mostly inane drivel and whinging intersperced with the odd good comment and decent pics.

I dont post stuff to get a reaction if I wanted to do that I'd join the list of people who just scatter gun shite throughout the board.

Now Empire post the new poster too, the big news now spread! :-)
