If the drummer from EYEHATEGOD can produce Dredd, what's the holdup on Dredd 2?

All of a sudden the reason for the hold-up for Dredd 2 is becoming clear. I can only imagine the unwarranted hostility when a studio executive asked for the dailies.

I'm told Dredd was an independent film. But he would have to impress investors too, eh?

Yeah - the dude certainly dresses like a Dredd extra, but I've enjoyed everything he's been involved with that I've seen. His bootleg marvel shorts (Punisher - Laundry Day and Venom - Truth In Journalism) left me wanting more.

I didn't realize it was the same dude - the Laundry Day short was everything I'd wanted from a Punisher film.

This is still my fallback, "nothing is on but I want something on in the background" movie.

Not only is the Thomas Jane Punisher movie good, I'm here to tell you that War Zone was, in it's own way, the finest comic book movie ever made.

Punisher: War Zone is loving amazing. All of that over-the-top, teenage-testorone-fueled "gritty brutality" that permeates the concept of The Punisher is captured beautifully in this film.

If the opening scene of the movie doesn't sell you on the film, I don't know what to say...

War Zone might be my favourite comic book movie, I'll have to rewatch it.

Punisher is kind of a dumb comic, so War Zone being a dumb action movie is pretty fitting. And I mean that as a person that actually likes The Punisher character and War Zone.

Seconded. It's both kinda neat and really frustrating that War Zone took the actual content of Punisher MAX and filmed it with the tone of Batman Forever.

Especially Slavers, maybe because Ennis got genuinely angry when researched for the story.

Ennis is so goddamn good at coming up with really hateable villains its unfair. Whatever flaws he has as a writer, his villains are always amazing. I like that with "The Boys," he went in the opposite direction, and wrote a cold, distant villain instead. Its his real talent.

I wish there was a good Punisher MAX adaptation, but at the same time I'm pretty okay with War Zone the way it is. It feels like a spiritual predecessor to Hobo with a Shotgun.

I mean it's not like it's also a comic about hate and revenge and how they're terrible things that will drag you under and good people getting caught up in awful horrible things and trying their best to survive without being like the people they hate and how the MIC is bullshit and the comics industry is loving trash. There's actually a ton of stuff going on in that book but,
It is absolutely the most Garth Ennis book imaginable. It's got so many things I love but then the next page will invariably be a poop/dick joke and I'm like goddammit Garth.

Alhazred posted:

I think it was Sims who said that Ennis made his run work because he realized that Frank is basically a blank void of characterization and the way to make the comic work is to build up his opponents as truly awful pieces of poo poo so that when a literal violent sociopath murders them you'll still cheer for him. And then he wrote an arc where the villain is a white slavery ring and one man gets disemboweled while alive and another man gets burned alive and a tape of that gets sent back to their bosses as a warning and I'm entirely unsurprised that Ennis was actually angry while writing it.

I used to say the quintessential Ennis book would be titled Perverted Superhero War Stories. Then he did exactly that in The Boys, and I was justified.

The Boys suffers in the same way as Preacher in that it's a fantastic 24-36 issue story padded out to more than twice that with weird (mostly sexual) poo poo. If Ennis had stuck to the point, both books would be better.

Nah, Preacher's problem was that the main plot was angry gently caress YOU DAD poo poo and the book suffered any time he went back to that. The Boys' problem was he didn't know when to quit being a gross dude making gross jokes, and the best parts were, much like Preacher, the parts where they deal with things that aren't quite part of the main plot.

Yep. There is a really decent thruline in the Boys but it's maybe like 18-24 issues of story.

Some of the best stuff though is the weird little side outings that aren't an essential part of the book, like Preacher.
