Get covered in blood?

Sheet(s) of paper?

Umm...another clue maybe?

When did this unspeakable bollocks become set in stone by Hollywood that all characters must develop or the film is a narrative failure?

I think it started when Hollywood writers began using the 'mono-myth' template to make films. After the (justified) runaway success of the original Star Wars film you could start to see more and more films coming out using this cookie-cutter formula. By all means not every film since then has used this format but you could see it become prevelant where studios wanted a 'sure fire' winner.

Re: Gold coating.
I've found that gold anodising doesn't look quite 'right' (plus I can no-longer easily get the chemicals to do it). Gold leafing is fairly easy and robust when done properly. I'm told powder coating looks good but I've never had anything covered with it myself.

Also Philip K. Dick would look stupid if he had a shield made

I read somewhere that the music used in the original trailer for the 1995 Judge Dredd film
was composed by Jerry Goldsmith

Hmm I just re-watched the trailer

Any idea what Goldsmith track that is? To me it sounds more like some generic place-holder music by Immediate Music or X-Ray dog.
Goldsmith did do this though:

Which I do rather like

About the only bit of music I can remember from Stallone-Dredd is Devil Man by White Zombie. If I remember this is played just before Dredd blows up the illegally parked red car.

I think it's good to talk beyond whose chin it's going to be at the bottom of the helmet. Although that's an important choice it's only one small one on the way to making a film that is both faithful and let's face it popular.
Because if this new film isn't popular beyond the established fan-base you can say goodbye to a third film from now until eternity.

For some reason I quite liked it which is why it was fairly easy to find. I guess some things just stick in your mind!

This was a fair number of moons ago as the buisness has long since gone to the wall so it's all water that's been passed under the bridge now

Also what you think is middle aged spread ISNT middle aged spread.Its just muscle that needs to worked a bit harder

Wow! I never knew I had so much muscle in that case!

I think it's 'Born Under a Bad Sign' from prog 1275, written by Robbie Morrison.

A good story that shows quite a bit of Dredds underlying humanity.

Hope this helps.

I'm not Scottish but I have had haggis. Imagine something that tastes like a very dry black pudding without the white fat bits and you're fairly close.

Also, I've built the small floating arm trebuchet from the plans available on that site:

It'll throw a golf ball a couple of hundred meters. Lots of fun!
