I got Netflix the other week, and have just finished watching the first two seasons.

Wow...  That was amazing. I did not see any of that coming. Some of it was incredibly affecting.  The pink bear in the pool? Who'd a thunk it. It's almost like an anti-'It's A Wonderful Life' story. If Walt had just died...

Now if you will excuse me I'm going to pour boiling hot coffee directly into my eyes.

For gods sake, watch Dredd one more time before you do, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

I'm re-reading 'Consider Phlebas' for the first time in 20 years.  It's much harder going than I remember.

What is it about that psycho's heavy breathing that freaks me out so much?! :o

Its the way he wears his coat too  :o

He looks like James Corden, that's why.

A woman I work with saw the last half of Dredd, and was disturbed by how arousing she found him.  I haven't had any comments from my gay friends yet.

It has been illegal to import haggis into the US since 1971.

It's also Burns night tonight.  Jings, crivvens, help m'boab!

To add to my facting glee, it's payday for me, which will mean a nice haggis from Cardiff market and a cheap bottle of whisky from Sainsburys.

The Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell - amazing retro hard rocky band who will be at the mighty DESERTFEST in London and are supporting Orange Goblin on their tour soon :D

Nuts - going to see Orange Goblin in the Welsh Club in Cardiff week after next, but will probably arrive too late to see the support.  Damn shame!!

just to watch the Lawmaster at the beginning...

Strange isn't it? All that hoo-haa at the first site of Judge Porky on that photo , and here is one of my bestist parts of the film as well! Love that Lawmaster  :)

Same here!! Dredd blasting between lanes, sirens screaming, particularly that scene where it's a full frontal between two cars, rushing towards the screen at you - it's just pure Dredd porn!!!


Radiator - couldn't agree with you more re your comparison to the original Terminator, Robocop etc.  I'd also add The Thing and Escape from New York to that list.  Tight, engrossing, hugely rewatchable, just like Dredd.

It was really interesting hearing Alex discuss how they had to get creative and re-use the same take but from different camera angles to extend the length if a set piece. The gas/stairs scene was a great example.  Apparently they only walked up one flight, but shot it from as many angles as possible, then edited it to make it look like it was two flights! Amazing!
