I just realized that in Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Val Kilmer’s character named Gay Perry is a pun. Gay Paree.

Rewatching DREDD, and noticed that at the end of the film, the last time Dredd speaks to Anderson, he calls her by her name instead of "Rookie". So he had already decided she passed before the Chief Judge asked him, and he saw her as an equal.

I don't know if I'm hearing things or not, but when Dredd (at the end)throws Mama out the window, the soundtrack sounds like something else - what she is hearing while under the effects of Slomo. He asks her a question before throwing her through the glass: "How do you plead?" The sound as she falls sounds remarkably like a word, slowed down so that it lasts a minute rather than a second: Guiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil-tyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy She sounds like had the last word, one last gently caress you to the Judge.

Another thing I noticed is when Dredd and Anderson arrive in Peach Trees, Anderson surmises that the three murders are a punishment killing, and are meant to send a message. Later, moments after the gatling gun scene, Dredd hurls her second in command to his death, right before her eyes. Also a punishment killing, and sending a message. (I also love how Dredd totally refuses to acknowledge her in that shot).

No, no. It’s Justin Bieber. This has been confirmed.

Somewhat kidding. Justin Bieber slowed down by 800% was the inspiration for the composer and the placeholder track.

I really wish Dredd had gotten a sequel. Karl Urban wants to make another Dredd film hut nobody wants to front the cash.

I love how down to earth it is for a movie set in a futuristic mega city. Dredd and the first two RoboCop films are loving awesome specifically because they tell a story first and use the setting to inform it. Too many science fiction and fantasy properties try to make the setting the story, rather than putting the story in the setting. Having a well thought out universe is great but it often feels like creators want to level the fate of the setting as the stakes. So something like Mass Effect or Harry Potter can only exist within the central story, because the conclusions are predicated on these massive paradigm shifts that would make any other story being told in the franchise feel extraneous, or somehow needing to connect to the main narrative somehow.

But not Dredd. Dredd isn't about saving the world. it's about a day in the life of a grumpy judge in a world that won't change overnight just because the right person received judgement.

Dredd is a great film. One of the subtler moments in it is when the hacker guy is listening to the theme tune from Snuff Box with Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher.

Snuff Box is a supremely dark and funny sketch comedy show which y'all should watch if you haven't already

I feel like I'm fairly open to a lot of sketch shows/sketch show humour, I actually love the self-contained nature of it, and appreciate absurdity and surreal jokes, but gently caress Snuff Box six ways from Sunday. I have tried about 6 or 7 different times to give it a chance and every single time, I think I end up disliking it more.

The only skit of theirs I've even come close to liking was the one where the guy helps out these women, but completely changes his mind when he finds out they aren't single.

Yep, it came out just a bit too early to have been a streaming hit and the advertising campaign did nothing to portray the genius of it; people basically just thought it was a generic 3D-cash in, and unfortunately the word-of-mouth didn't get enough asses in seats. By the time there were a ton of people saying "That was loving awesome" it left theaters.

It would have cleaned up if people were able to watch it instantly online. Had it premiered on Netflix/Amazon we'd probably have a series of it.

I haven't seen it in probably 15 years, but in the 90's stallone judge dredd, there is a scene where dredd is getting screamed at by his boss, and his boss has a visible booger in his nose that flips around with every word screamed. I had a movie night in highschool and we watched it, and we probably rewound that scene 10 times, just crying with laughter.

I never watched the new dredd because I knew it would never compare.

I love when Dredd hacks into the speaker system, and the moment he says "This is Judge Dredd" the hacker turns to Ma-Ma, terrified. It's revealed that she doesn't know who Dredd is, but that hacker is making GBS threads himself.

And I love that Hacker is Domhnall Gleeson, who does an awesome job of playing that part. Also Hacker’s eyes are prosthetic and enhanced. You can see the apertures moving in them in some shots.

I watched Terminator 2 last night and even though I’ve seen it maybe 10 times since it was in theaters this was the first time I noticed when the T-1000 is flying the helicopter he grows a third arm so he can man the controls and shoot at Sarah Connor at the same time.

Long story short: Its happening, it might or might not have Urban back as dredd (he'll come back if he likes the scripts and they can make scheduling work), it doesnt have a home on a streaming service yet (but will probably get one) and doesnt have a release date yet. Dont get me wrong, I'm glad its happening, but I refuse to get truly hype about it until I have at least one of those details confirmed...

Also a timeline where Dead Like Me didn't end and get that follow up movie that was just bad?

The newer Dredd movie does a good job adapting different aspects of the same comic in a way that doesn't negate the old Stallone movie, you should still watch it.

Something I thought was kind of neat about Into the Spiderverse is how there's a scene where Miles is reading an in universe Spider-Man comic to try and understand his powers and you see a glimpse of a thought bubble from Spidey calling himself "Billy." Because of course the comic wouldn't know his real name.

I noticed that "Billy" thing too. It's an amazing little detail.

Old Dredd was cheesy goofy fun. New Dredd is brutal art. Watch them both.

Also, just a general heads-up that Into the Spiderverse has the greatest post credits sequence in film history.

Does it keep the booger? It's really all I care about in the entire franchise. I saw the robocop and total recall reboots and hated them, and mentally filed dredd in the same category, and haven't thought about it again until this conversation thread.
