11 times, that deserves an award.

And that is someone who loathed the film at the beginning.

Ok! Rant time! . . . 'film reviews' on Radio 0ne has given a 3 star rating to Dredd and compared it to The Raid, which apparently did things better!? The reviewer didn't seem to know much about Karls previous film pedigree?! . . . struggling to name the last big film he starred in! Totally incompetent review and poor PR for our movie coming out tomorrow sadly  :(

Who gives a flying fuck what Radio One thinks? They employed Chris Moyles.

I'm with Attack the Block, and we could do with a bit of peace.

I read this somewhere.

"You can not write about anything in Sc-Fi that hasn't already been written about."

You'd think that by the time he reached design #3 they'd have realised it wasn't a joke and shown him the door.

They did. It was Emma Porteous who designed the final costume.

Well I speak to people that I know about the up coming Dredd film, and although they show a passing interest I find that they are much more interested in mediocre product such as Total Recall or Spiderman. It seems as a sweeping generalisation movie audiences  like to be spoon fed the same old nonsense these days. Or perhaps they've been beaten into submission by the years of Hollywood pumping out this inoffensive cookie cutter crap.

How do you convey to the general population that a Judge Dredd franchise could encompass everything they love about popular sci-fi storytelling from Blade Runner to District 9 and more?

Interestingly when I recommend the same people go to read the original Watchmen or Dark knight graphic novels they show the same lack of interest, but lap up the movie adaptations like Umpty Chew.

I think the success of the film will come through word of mouth but It'll be interesting to see whether that success will come before it's released on DVD.

I suggest some new friends. Friends with slightly higher IQs

Perhaps Rico could use his DNA to make everyone think Dredd had committed a murder of some popular figure - a news presenter or journalist or something?  Then Dredd could be disgraced in a trumped up trial and sent to Aspen, where he bumps into someone he recently arrested.  Somehow they escape, maybe via some crazy Cursed Earth gang shooting down the penal ship, and after many daring escapades Dredd confronts Rico, wipes out a clone bank, and throws his brother from the top of something tall.

You know, something like that...


And this is why I rarely post on here.


I aim to please.  But failing that, driving people away will have to do.

Fuck off.
