[Back to the Future]

The Back to the Future trilogy.

Watched it with my 8 year old son (his first time) over the weekend.

It still holds up, genuinely funny moments and a few tense moments here and there. A couple of shonky FX shots and a lot of swearing - every time someone said 'shit', 'son of a bitch' or 'bastard', my son would look at me and say 'but it's still a PG!'.
Definitely worth watching again, maybe with a kids eyes.

Yep  - I bought a 3D telly just to watch Dredd 3D on it.  The 3D in it is far better than watching the same film in the cinema.  For a start there's much less ghosting (ethereal double images), the picture is crisp, and there appears to be a greater depth of field. 

So you're in fopr a treat basically. 

Make sure you get the seat middle front though, as most 3D telly's don't work that well if you're viewing from too far to the left or right.

Wow I respect your  dedication to Dredd! This will be my first go around with a 3D TV so im pretty excited! Ill try to grab a central seat too

I must say that my copy of Dredd 3D was damned expensive, but it did come with a TV and blu ray player!

Watching it at home was definitely better - TV centred and angled correctly, 5.1 speakers and the kids at a neighbours house.

So this is out there and looks bloody good. "Art Figures AF-015 1/6th scale Heavy Armoured Special Cop "DREDD" 12-inch figure"

If bootleggers can make money with awesome action figures, why aren't there any licensed ones?

Still making the memes over at Cracked...

Didn't read the first 46 pages (late to the party), but only just realised that Johnny Alpha must of course be the best S/D agent because he is the Alpha Dog!

Can't believe I missed that one...

Sad news, my thoughts go out to his family.

He used all the rounds on his lawgiver though, right?  Wouldn't be a Dredd film without a double whammy!

Pffft, why use a double whammy when you can fire a signal flare!

Something, what? What am I missing here?

Well I been off on honeymoon...

Allow me to congratulate the new couple: Judge and Mr Hershey!

Holy mother of grud!

It's from the Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons Future Shock story isn't it?

D'oh, That's right! (Slaps forehead) I knew that - though of course "Chrono Cops" was deliberately drawn as a nod to the early Kurtzman-era MAD comics. The detective was made to resemble their parody of the Joe Friday from Dragnet.  Even the Chrono Cops "CC" logo we see in the story is the EC logo with the middle bar of the E removed.

I should take a couple of pictures and post it in the Swipe file thread (under H for Homage, of course).

Of course! Who could forget Zanzibar Z Ziggurat?

And this just showed up...



Not sure about the 'legally' though. Maybe if he took off the helmet, he was required to arrest himself?
