Aces. It'd probably make you go blind anyway.

Yeah, but what if they don't go see it because they already watched the DVD a hundred times? I don't think Dredd could take a triple bomb.

That actually seems a little unpredictable.

Thinking about it though, if there was one type of 'hero' the Chinese government would like to promote you'd think it'd be someone like Dredd.

I just wanted an idea of the cash potential.

Dark Judges, here we come.

I was actually wondering about this the other day because Red Dawn doesn't appear to have a release date in mainland China. Though, as Dredd has proved with China and Japan, sometimes it's difficult to confirm beforehand with lists you find on the internet.

Sweet. I think we all know what this means. ;-)

It seems BetFair and PoliticalBetting have UKIP as second favourites. This could be a dark day for Dave.

Did it make a zillion in Japan yet?

Poor TV speakers can't handle the sound, but bugger me with a broomstick and call me lollypop, but the 3D is awesome!

I've noticed the sound on some of these new, flashy TVs is complete cack. My mono DAB radio is better.

Something I wondered about, if anyone has any insights...(apologies if this has been covered to death) but when Anderson scans Dredd she says Dredd is '...almost.' and the CJ cuts her off with ''that's enough Anderson' or some such. 'Almost' what I wondered?... and why cut her off unless it's something Dredd shouldn't know?

There may or may not have been something interesting to learn but I doubt Chiefy was thinking about anything beyond making a point concerning Anderson's powers. It would've been unethical to let her carry on further.

That's true, it doesn't need to mean anything.

My take was that this whole exchange was a kind of dramatic device to frame Dredd for the audience: like the script is deliberately and self-conciously making Dredd fascinating and enigmatic and mythical by actively refusing explain him to an audience. I reckon it's quite brilliant. This is the Dredd from the comics explained in one line: yes, there's plenty going on under that helmet- but we're not getting into his 'back-story' or 'motivation'; he's not that kind of hero, this is not that kind of story...

Yeah, I think it performed that function rather well.

But I do feel sympathy for me.

Yeah, it's not always best for the bullet to leave its new home but I did wonder about all the crap that must've lodged in the entry wound. He should probably get that seen to at some point.

And seeing as he was pretty spritely for a man who'd just taken a bullet through two sheets of armour he could probably walk back to the Hall of Justice himself.

It seems Judge Dredd is on 5 USA next Tuesday. Hoozah!

Excellent. :thumbs:
