I don't know that letting Bill Weasley go was a big human moment, I think it added more to show how random some of the judgements are. They can be compassionate at times, but it is more out of convenience. They didn't have time to deal with the homeless guy so Dredd tells him to go, same with the tech guy, he was harmless but guilty, but they had to get the Ma-ma instead.

I thought it was Mal-Mal, and just sounded like Ma-ma because people pronouncing it got lazy.

IMDB says it was Ma-ma, that makes me kind of disappointed. I thought they didn't want to call her "Ma-ma" because it was too on the nose that she is the mother of Peach Trees. Mal-mal sounds like a messed up version of Ma-ma and gives me an impression of "malice" and bad mothering. Didn't the tattoo say "mal-mal"?

Sylink posted:I don't know that letting Bill Weasley go was a big human moment, I think it added more to show how random some of the judgements are. No it's important because the whole point is that Anderson believes she can make a difference. Beneath the control and the anger Dredd also genuinely believes that he can make a difference, which is what Anderson senses at the start. The reason the corrupt judge goes on his random spiel about how the city is a meatgrinder is because in direct contrast to Dredd he doesn't believe the judges can make a difference. When Anderson asserts her right to dispense justice and make a real difference in people's lives that's when she passes the test because as far as Dredd is concerned that's the fundamental element of being a judge. It has nothing to do with any calculations in his head as to whether her gun counts as her 'primary weapon'. If you really think that the lawgiver is important, then the fact that it explodes when someone with the wrong DNA tries to shoot it implies that the possibility of a Judge losing their weapon is so real that their weapons are designed with that in mind, so while a big deal it doesn't automatically make you non-Judge material.

The most important thing to remember about Dredd is that he believes fully in the Law and believes that it is the only thing from causing Mega City 1 from turning into complete chaos.

I get the impression that a sequel to this would do huge business. The buzz and word-of-mouth is massive. It could be a jump like from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, box office wise. I have no idea if a sequel is planned or not, just thinking.

Something I never noticed on first viewing, when Dredd gives mama the slo mo at the end he doesn't hold her mouth or anything to make sure she inhales, instead he does the "...how do you plead?" speech and mama inhales it a second later herself.

Yeah, I didn't notice it till later as well. I just thought her silence was her 'guilty' plea, but on the most recent rewatch I caught Dredd just waiting for her to inhale, thus accepting her fate. So good.

Yeah in the comics he does question the whole system as part of the Democracy storyline but eventually arrives to the conclusion that it makes sense given the violent, chaotic, dangerous nature of the world. Living in a world with block wars, ravenous crocodile aliens and mutant zombie outbreaks doesn't leave much room for a democratic system.

Batman Begins was still a box office blockbuster that made its budget back twice, despite its sequel being more popular. Dredd didn't.

It was dwarved by it's sequel which made it's total domestic gross in about 4-5 days. That was the limit of the comparison.

Not often the Dredd comic gets a mention in mainstream news, so thought I'd share - apparently the next 2000AD prog makes an allusion to Dredd's sexuality.

I've read it and while it is a story about gay rights, it makes no suggestion that Dredd has any kind of sexual interest. The premise is that there's an underground gay club where people dress up as him and pretend to arrest other guys for fun. Dredd then shows up and arrests them all for impersonating Judges.

Seriously though, depending on how successful this auction is, we may end up seeing more replicas of items from 'Dredd 3D', which I think is a good thing. Although, on a personal note, I think it would be pretty cool if someone could build a 'Dredd 3D' Lawgiver around a real pistol that still worked after the modifications. You know, for self defense.

Yeah, unless the gun is actually firing or otherwise being manipulated, it's always a rubber dummy. Something which is becoming even more common now with digital muzzle flashes. Which looks dumb as hell.
