As far as quoting the prog goes, my brother and I regularly amuse each other by randomly saying "something, something, oranges, something", use 'munce' to describe horrible food, and refer to coffee as 'synthi-caf'.

I've also taken to saying "I'm only jestering" off of out of Halo Jones.

Hands up, who likes me!

............

You utter bastards...

Hands up, who likes me!

[Simping Detective]

Simping Detective - I more or less enjoyed this in the Meg but occasionally have a problem with Simon Spurrier's clever-clever writing style,

Can't edit this.

What I meant was the style he often adopts when writing stories in the first person (Simping Detective, Lobster Random). I do enjoy other things he's written.

[Cover]

Cover - Very nice stuff from Cliff and Dylan.

Judge Dredd - Really great art and a nice opener. Is this a Sov sleeper agent who was supposed to participate in the Chaos Day shenanegans? Dredd seems to very quickly and easily identify that this is the case just by looking at a few corpses. Surely there could have been any number of explanations? A minor complaint.

Grey Area - Take that you spindly alien bastard! Is Bulliett lying through his teeth about shooting the ambassador in self defence? Events don't seem to be as he describes in the hearing.

Brass Sun - Lovely, lovely story. I can't fault it. It's very different to the usual 2000 AD strip, but it fits in perfectly all the same. Hope it runs and runs.

ABC Warriors - Really prefer the art to the usual photo-shopped stuff. Takes me back to the 'Black Hole' glory days. Looking forward to seeing Ro Jaws again. He's a working class hero.

Simping Detective - I more or less enjoyed this in the Meg but occasionally have a problem with Simon Spurrier's clever-clever writing style, filled as it can be with over-worked puns and groan-inducing similies. I'll reserve judgment until it's a few episodes in. Liking the art though.

A decent prog. I'm slightly worried that although I'm looking forward to seeing Dirty Frank again, with Low Life starting next week, 3 out of 5 strips will be Dredd-world stories. I tend to get a bit bored when that happens.

Does anyone know the up to date figures?

As of yesterday, Dredd had made $12,812,235 in the US.

gah! that's not good news is it?

No, it's awful. All throughout the production of this film I've been confident that it was eventually going to do well. This is worse than I ever imagined it could be. Totally depressing considering the film is so bloody good.

Don't mean to wallow in the mire, I'm sure everyone feels the same.

Why is that kid on the right dressed up as David Bishop?

You're the BEST kind of unhinged lunatic. Well done.

[NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRDDDDDDDDDD.]

i regularly went to scifi conventions and horror festivals,

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRDDDDDDDDDD.

Why is Simon Spurrier in the seventies?

To the tune of The Addams Family theme...

For reasons I don't completely understand I find this absolutely hilarious and can't stop laughing at it.

[BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAARN!]

This thread has reached its natural conclusion.

Everything that didn't make sense in this thread will be explained in the sequel.

...or will it?

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAARN!

Really? The 'big helmet' is STILL a topic?

Fuck me.

With a big helmet...

Ha! Nice one.

I know you by the way Dave (hello!), I'm a Bradford(ish) based mate of your good lady and we've met a couple of times, most recently at a picanic in Saltaire.

Good to see you round these parts, didn't know you were a 2000 AD fan.

are they releasing dredd in france and japan i think it would do great in japan

Yeah, it could be big in Japan.

Well on previous visits to Japan I've taken a Judge Dredd action figure as a present for my brother in law, and last time, I took the two Tour of Duty trades and he had a bit of a look at those. He might go see it I suppose although he had never heard of Judge Dredd or 2000 AD until I blathered on about it to him.

Judge Dredd is even less well known in Japan than he is in America but it could do well if marketed as a pure, violent action film.
