This has got to be in London!
Also how are us fans gonna get our mits on some tickets, surely Tharg must be able to get his hands on some to give out to his loyal followers.
The last thing I want to see is a load of fair weather fans suddenly turning up closer to the day. Amazingly everyone will have read 2000AD from Programme 1 but they won't fool us ;)
Yeah definitely - London hardly gets anything.
May I make a suggestion?
Dredd has a 4 weekly publication called 'The Judge Dredd Megazine'. Every issue loyal readers write in. Surely the reader with the most letters published in 'The Megazine' is the most loyal and therefore most deserving of having the honour of having the premiere in his home town?
If only there was some way to calculate the deserving winner of the prize ?
Mmmm Braehead Odeon pick n' mix with extra child drool...
I think the premier should be in Cape Town, the home of Mega-City-One.
I won't be trecking all the way to that London. I'm hoping for a 3D Imax release so I can pop across to Bradford and see it there.
In fact, that's where the premiere should be because it's near me.
Tish! Clearly, the Dredd premier should be in Clondalkin, Dublin, for reasons that are far too obvious to go into here.

Nah, it's handy for me too. And Jayzus and T.A.F.K.A.Garageman and Johnnystress'd have no problem getting there either. David, Mikey and PJ'd have a bit of a trek, and not sure how close folk like Gavin are, but it's still clearly the only logical choice.

Poppycock! The premiere should blatantly be at the PIcadilly Cinema on North Adelaide where Stevie can stroll down to Jeffcott Street for his bus home after.

Bradford ? Aaaaaargh. Last time a went to see a film in that city half the audience were Mohammedans who were constantly on their mobiles throughout the film. Nowt against the place, just the wildlife. FYI Bradford born and bred - mill scum.

Yes, I can tell from the casual racism. The last time I saw a film in Bradford, it was the premiere of Four Lions and not only was the film about 'Mohammedans' but the audience was also largely made up of 'Mohameddans' too, not one of whom was talking on their phone.
Thick people who don't know how to act in a cinema are thick no matter their colour, same goes for clever people. I've had more trouble with idiotic 'Christians' or, white people, talking through films in Bradford.

Excellent! Of course, we're going to have our work cut out for us, what with having to build a cinema before the movie's due out... I'll supervise.

It's not casual (and it's not racism sunshine), I'm quite militant when it comes to Islam. Racism though? Most Pakistanis racially are Indian and I adore Indians (Sikhs as well), I just loathe the Muslims, but especially ones from Pakistan. To reach my level of loathing you need to live among them for a decade or two. Sorry for the mini lecture, it's just a subject I feel very strongly about.
During Christmas I did some work for the Royal Mail. My particular job involved lifting heavy crates so I worked alongside another chap. I'm pretty sure he was Muslim as he would nip out in the afternoon to pray. He was a smashing bloke. (Not being sarcastic, he really was a nice bloke.)
I know he's just one bloke... just wanted to redress the balance a bit. My experience of Muslims is that they're pretty much the same as everyone else. A mixture of good and bad.
I agree your statement wasn't racist though. Religionist* maybe.
*Is there such a word? My spell-checker isn't complaining!
Okay. I'll bite.
How did you know they were 'Mohammedans?' If it's not based on crude racial stereotyping I have to assume you engaged each of them in a discussion of their faith during the film. Which would make you as much of an annoying twat as them.

I'm born and bred in Bradford too 'sunshine' and for a lot longer than you. I've lived in Great Horton and Manningham for many years amongst Muslims (some of them *gasp!* WHITE MUSLIMS!!!) and Pakistanis (they won't thank you for calling them Indian by the way).
I don't think there are any rules in the Qu'ran which demand that Muslims talk loudly on mobile phones in the cinema. What you've got there is ignorant morons, not Muslims. Whatever you may think, using terms like 'THEY' were 'ALL' talking on their mobile phones is racist, or at the very least, an offensively sweeping statement.
Back on topic; wherever the premiere is held, I'll be holding out for a Bradford Imax showing. Imagine Dredd's chin in 3D, 5 storeys high!
I've reported the post and hope others who are offended by it remember to do likewise.

No one should be talking on their mobiles while watching a film in a cinema and its a failure of those in the audience to tell them all to STFU and its a failure of the cinema to enforce the no mobile rule.

Unfortunately i cant be everywhere at once :D
I've told people to shut up before but there was an incident in Keeds quite recently where a woman complained about
Some lads talking and they followed her out of the cinema, down the road, then threw acid in her face.
Makes you wonder if it's safer to keep your mouth shut.
Who the hell brings (that kind of) acid to the cinema? I blame Baden Powell myself.
Not to make light of the horribleness of such an act, but unless you're in the Taliban it does seem an odd thing to carry about.

Its society whats to blame.
Those who are responsible should be chained to a lampost in the town/city centre with a notice explaining what they are guilty of.
That would teach them a lesson.

Theres always an element of risk involved which you have to decide for yourself but personally i dont mind the risk as i can handle it as i am not intimidated by people in general and any risk to myself is vastly outweighed by the risk to themselves especially if they annoy me in any way.
Anyway i dont watch films at cinemas anymore because of other people which solves the problem in the easiest way possible.

For God's sake don't tell Roger that!
I mentioned the Clondalkin bid to the wife, who quipped "you're the only premi-er they're likely to get". Disgraceful slander.
They should screen it on Ground Zero.
NEVER FORGET
...and hand out Total War pamphlets.
They're going to attach as many projectors as there are to frames of film in the movie to fireworks. Each projector has the same frame repeated over and over. The fireworks are all shot into the air concurrently so that they project their frame onto the giant cinema sheet on the ground and then they are exploded with the firework so then the next camera can spray its frame onto the sheet in accordance with the sequence of frames.
If that's not a fitting tribute for the firefighters, I don't know what is.

I was thinking about this the other night and you know how the guests get freebies at events like this (the bastards), well how about this for a freebie!
Due to the film being in 3D, all the guests are issued with a set of 3D glasses built into a Judges helmet. Yes, the visor is done so you can watch the 3D effects. As for the sound being muffled because you're wearing a helmet, well it wouldn't be a proper build but a lighter version.
Just imagine a picture of everyone sat in the seats wearing these as the film starts :o

Tsk, you lot. Quite obviously the premier should be in Dundee, where the prog was born.
Go on, it's only a hour down the road and it'd be closer to the other Norts here too :D
Screen the Dredd premiere in Belfast- that way if the actual movie dissapoints (I hope and pray not though), we can wreck the place, call it politically motivated, and all get off scott free! That, and the fact I don't have to spend more than a tenner on a taxi home after getting plastered at the after-show bash :thumbsup:...
I think they should show it at a London Meet as we seem to get more member together at them on a regular basis (outside of a con) than anywhere else?
Or another idea, me and CF just nick the film on the way and watch it somewhere cosy using SBT as a man table................. :D

I think that the premier should be held somewhere near the middle of the country, accessible to all corners of the kingdom. Somewhere with bars, hotels & places to eat. An Imax cinema too so that Dredd can be viewed in its full 3D glory. But where is there such a place you cry, I'll tell you...... Birmingham!!! There could be people dressed as judges, lawgivers raised to the heavens, lining the red carpet. Popcorn buckets made to look like Judges helmets, then when the snack is eaten they can be worn on the head. Balloons, lots of balloons. :lol: :lol: :lol:
