FUTURE SHOCK! 2000AD Documentary announced

[Colin YNWA]

So inspired by the show, she's decided to take on a PhD in culture and media.

It's impressive what non-fans can get out of things you dote over.

Okay whatever reactions we get as fans I doubt any of us can top that!

Ordered mine. Hyped for it now.

Christmas day movie for me and the wife who doesn't read comics and thinks I'm mental.

[Hawkmumbler]

Mine turned up just now and that's goin straight in ghe BD player. Unreservedly excited for another viewing.

Watched the BBC film review last night with Mark Kermode and the DVD recommendation for the week was ........(drum roll) ..FutureShock: The Story of 2000ad. Quality

Should give sales a good bump.

Kermode was complimentary about it in last week's film review podcast too.

As for me, it's on my Amazon wishlist (Priority: Highest). Needless to say, if I don't find it under the Christmas tree I'll be buying it immediately, right after disowning my entire family.

There's a more in-depth look at the doc on Kermode Uncut (also on Youtube). Looking forward to his reassessment of Dredd - I remember being surprised by his relatively dismissive review of it at the time.

[Apestrife]

Awesome documentary. Very entertaining, also daring/saddening at times. For me the film is to the prog what the 2012 DREDD was to the character Judge Dredd. Feels like it got to the core of it.

Hopefully it'll get the word around like the "documentary" Dig did for The Brian Jonestown Massacre!

[Prodigal2]

Bought it. Watched it. Loved it. Buy it.

Looks like I'm a bit late to the party to get this in time for Christmas! Seems all sold out.  Anyone who wants to sell on their copy drop me a PM, I'd like to get it in time for Christmas, when I'll have time to watch it.

Got it for Christmas and in the best childhood traditions have raided it and watched it. Superb stuff.

[Colin YNWA]

You got me all excited there Maryanddavid, still seems to be in stock at Amazon (co.uk at least)

[maryanddavid]

Thanks Colin, I was ordering the last few bits last night and it quoted me a silly delivery time on the DVD so I presumed it was OFS. Getting too late for the Holidays at this stage I think.

I got quite excited when Brian Bolland said he wanted to do a new story for 2000 AD (not just a cover). It's been 35 years. Tharg, make it happen!

He said this on a convention panel a couple of years ago too and mentioned that he'd always been fond if the 'fatties' stories.

l second what you say Richard - Tharg make this happen!
