Sorry, didn't spot your question. Might be unlikely, I will ask John to pop by.

On the topic of the 35th Birthday game I will be running, poo poll ends today. New participants welcome! Lurkera too.

Still a lot I wouldn't have liked in that script, also in the one we got:
* Dredd knowing Rico is his clone is central to the story.
* Altering Dredd & Griffin too much.
* Fergie... changing a character so much... Just make up a new character!!!

Some of the rest sounded better. Rico getting a mob together bears there clone army. Gila Ninja would have been interesting but losses the best bit we actually got, Angel Gang.

Use Rico by all means, but add he was. Dredd's better clone Gerhardt went bad. Vienna's father. Show Joe has a heart but have him blow his brother away anyway. Because that is the law. Also, play 'he ain't heavy, he's my brother quietly in there background...

Use fergie - he isn't a Trog so shouldn't upset the gritty realism. But he is big, has learning difficulties and is a hero. Though I have nothing against Toughs anyway.

Probably a postcard app on facebook.

I can't believe a discussion of censorship now seems to show some people on the forum really give solid credence to the 'a film/game/comic' made him want to do it crowd...

Some people? Bigjobs is the only person who's come close to doing that.

I guess so... but it generated a conversation, instead of being ignored (or rebuffed).

CRICKEY!!!

Nice one Planet Replicas and Ashley!!!

A Mongrol, now if that ain't enough to make people enter then I don't know what will.

Pictures of sexy young girls wearing Judge Dredd Ts and nothing else?

So quickly it has descended to this... *sigh* CF, you should know your innocent question would be pervatised...

PS - obviously I want those signed goodies too... didn't mean my post to ignore them...

I think it may have been a gag, in response to "fame at last"...

Come on,  keep up.

SBT

Quite so, quite so.

Got a copy of this yesterday... The 2000 AD article is interesting, but the rest of the magazine will likely remain unread. It's not aimed at people like me, so I'm not surprised about that.

Still, nice to see a photo of my Termight Replicas Dredd badge on the contents page! Fame at last!

And irony is lost to the world yet again...

Whilst a small proportion of quite bad things perpetrated by people have been put down to this subject it is a very small factor in most cases and a very low amount of crimes in the first place.

Film censors shift greatly over years on what they allow and do not allow.  They are stricter than TV most of the time.

Given the level of knife crime in the UK and gun crime in many parts of the UK... a head butt scene being censored but the other violence getting through is a little reactionary.

They did go a bit nuts in the 90s - for them it's all about imitable content.

They're obviously worried about kids going round headbutting or earclapping each other.

Setting up elaborate torture mechanisms or stitching multiple a2m victims is probably too much effort for kids these days.

Oh and Human Centipede 2 got cut for UK release even at 18.

But is still a tad more violent and objectionable than a head butt...

Also, I'm agreeing with Joe Soap.  Everything he said in his last few posts on this thread, he's right.

I now want the Angel Gang in the Dredd sequel with Mean going up to 4!!!

I'm regularly almost hit by cars and cyclists alike when crossing the road in Leeds City Centre.

I must say, given the difference in numbers between motorists and cyclists the latter prove to be the more consistent offenders...

That said, at least one of those cars would definately have killed me had I not leapt out of the way and sprawled on the pavement I was crossing towards - oh it jumped a red light & turned the wrong way down a one way street by the way.  Cycles can injure & maim a pedestrian but don't kill them often - though killing me once is more than I signed up for!

This film will try to add to that.  It isn't Alien or Predator, they have stated this fairly clearly.  It is just 'of' Alien & Predator.

Really looking forward to it.

Funny story:

In a pub, with friends, we all started talking about the movies that are out this year. Prometheus comes up in discussion, and a few friends start saying 'Ahh, but it doesn't LOOK like Alien' and 'but there's no sodding ALIENS in it!' and even 'I don't want to watch it unless Ripley's in it'.

My reaction was to BANG my fist on the tabletop, with sufficient force to disturb the beer in our glasses, and shout at them 'OH, FOR F*** SAKE! PUT YOUR BLOODY KNICKERS ON! IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME! IT WILL BE AWESOME! AND YOU'LL ALL WATCH IT ANYWAY! "

It seemed to do the trick.

Had a 'This isn't an A;lien Prequel' conversation with two of my mates when in the car off for a walk in the country... One of them couldn't get his head round 'but if it is set before Alien and in the same place it must be a prequel'.

Hilarious, though in a battle of wits I shouldn't fight a one armed man.  We'll all go see it of course, rude not to.

And yet mutilations are allowed in films like Saw anf Human Centipede... (seen none of those by the way)

Censors are pretty inconsistent.  I know that Stallone film wasn't an 18.  But shooting is OK, stabbing is ok, headbutt is cut...

I censor films myself, by not going to see something I know I won't like, Sucvh as Human Centipede and Stallone's Dredd.

OK I saw Stallone's Dredd on DVD, even own the sucker, but that's beside the point, I didn't go to cinema as I already knew there was too much in it I wouldn't like.  Over saturated media spin...

Of course as I'm only starting my game on the 26th nothing to show at all yet.

Not even sure which plot it will run with!!!  Oooo the tension is palpable in the Kingdom... Batlings are in quite a tizz.

Still not stopped Tharg, this odds harder than Where's Wally.

But dandontdare is right about that lawgiver.
