Dredd (2012)

Sweet. I think we all know what this means. ;-)

...China only allows 34 foreign films a year be released...

Interesting; any idea how the lucky 34 are picked?

[Stan]

I was actually wondering about this the other day because Red Dawn doesn't appear to have a release date in mainland China. Though, as Dredd has proved with China and Japan, sometimes it's difficult to confirm beforehand with lists you find on the internet.

CHINA ALL TIME OPENINGS

I just wanted an idea of the cash potential.

[Stan]

That actually seems a little unpredictable.

Thinking about it though, if there was one type of 'hero' the Chinese government would like to promote you'd think it'd be someone like Dredd.

I FINALLY saw Joe Soap's pic on the hoarding during the bike chase scene. I wonder if Dave Gibbons got a mention in the credits...?

In a roundabout way, yes.

Has the collective seen this one from Manly Men Doing Manly Things yet?  I rather liked it - a mildly informed discussion ensues in the comments.

Heh—I've seen similar arguments, but the point is the drug is addictive (leading to people committing crimes to acquire it), not allowed by the government (in an obvious parallel to relatively 'safe' drugs like cannabis today), and used by people in inappropriate conditions (such as when driving).

Fun cartoon though.

Plus there's an inherent suggestion all along - just as in the comics - that the judges are part of the problem, not the solution.

Thats a five stretch in the cubes right there sunshine.

Is it just me or did that seem a bit harsh?

I think it's pretty light, considering it's a subversion charge..
