I got called a bitch on the IMDB dredd forum.
Which upset me immensely.

Oddly enough, I enjoy Phantom Menace the most of the three prequels - it sets up the Star Wars universe well, and I remember it really captured my imagination at the time of where the next two films were going to go.
Shame really they never lived up to those expectations.
The kid is awful in it, though, especially in the bit where he takes off in the fighter. That faint hammering you heard around half six yesterday was my teeth chattering to the point where they were fighting to leave my mouth.
Still better than Haydn Christensen, though!

I wasn't keen. To be honest, I don't get the whole "abandoning the laws of causality" nonsense that seems to be paramount since Moffat took the reins (you can come back to life by being remembered?).
My son loves it though, and I do seem to be in a minority, so fair enough.

For what it's worth, I thought I'd resurrect this hugely brain-scrotting thread as I've spent this cold winter's eve by the fire rereading Zenith in its entirety, rather than drift to the local hostelry.
My take on it is that it's right there, from the beginning, that the whole story takes place in a different world to ours (one in which Berlin is the unfortunate recipient of the atom bomb), and so it can be seen that the story is happening all the time in every alternative dimension. At some point in Phase III we see that some alternative Londons have also recently been nuked, which didn't happen in Zenith's reality thanks to his and St John's actions at the end of phase II. Which means that they were always placed to make the events that follow occur, which means that it keeps happening in other alternatives, which means....

Argh. I'm going for that pint. Best quiet night in on my tod I've had for bloody ages.

I must admit, Apocalypse War is probably the one mega epic that really drew me into Dredd. SO gritty, and utterly great Carlos art.

The Pit

The Day The Law Died

...although I've always had a huge soft spot for Inferno (ducks behind computer to avoid sudden avalanche of polystyrene cups)

Whoah, now youKnowWho's posts have gone I just look like a bit of a maniac!
Mods, I really won't be insulted if you want to remove some of my repetition.
My repetition.

Nice. I used to own quite a few Eternals from the seventies, but they've long since drifted off to other folk over the years.
Jack WAS the man, though.

...or collected edition you own?

Just for fun, really. Mine's probably a set of Dark Knight Returns first editions from when they first came out, but I reckon some folk on here will have some beauties.

actually, vzz, you're quite right - I'm just turning into him then. I'll resume my usual dignified silence until someone returns him to his ward.

Apologies to everyone else, but I've found repeating this at him eventually makes him lose his rag and go to bed.

No -one's got anything wrong, they're making a film with a good deal of love for the source material and an eye for what will work in a cinematic context. Your ramblings, no matter how many times you repeatedly post them on many different sites across the internet are your opinion, and for some reason, you seem to need people to agree to with your bafflingly obsessive point of view.

No one's interested in your screenplay, and you obviously don't like this film. So why not just shut the *beep* up?

Proudhuff, I tend to avoid the prog threads as everyone seems to get theirs a week ahead of me, and I don't wanna happen across spoilers.

That said, I thought last week's prog 1711 was bit on the weak side. Top Slaine art though.

I tell you what Steve, that looks cracking! I take it that's Greg Staples from the Judge Minty film?
