BioEnchanted posted:They haven't eliminated poverty, they've basically made it illegal. Denis Leary is a homeless guy who was forced underground with other people who were subsequently ignored by the rich people enjoying the utopia. I just rewatched it recently and he said they specifically choose to live in the sewers. He says they could live up top but it has to be Cocteau's way or they can live in a sewer and starve to death but they get to do cusses.

Sunswipe posted:Also remember that a lot of the time, you want the enemy to hear they're being shot at so they take cover or run away. Suppressive fire is less effective if the enemy don't know they're being suppressed. ...Suppressive fire doesn't work because of the noise of gunfire coming from the shooter  Suppressive fire works because the target being suppressed is hearing bullets flying around them and hitting things very close to them. Which is very very very pants shittingly terrifying even if there isn't a loud noise accompanying it. You know when you're being shot at and you quickly realize that at that point you no longer wish to be standing or trying to engage from that location.

For some reason I'm remembering this quote from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy':Douglas Adams posted:The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. ‘Make it evil,’ he’d been told. ‘Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with.

The vr sex in Demolition Man is actually incredible, but it focuses more on female pleasure so Stallone's primitive brain rejects it like it's the first version of the Matrix.

To be faaaaiiiiirrrrrr… Judge Anderson did have psychic powers in the comics, so the Dredd movie still followed established canon. I liked the dense worldbuilding of the Stallone movie, even if it probably bit off more than it could chew. Urban's movie was a sleek "day in the life of" flick and was able to capture the essence with very little filler. I liked both for very different reasons.

I like to pretend that the comic doesn't exist. Stallone's dredd is the canon to me. I also mix judge dredd up with demolition man in my head all the time, so dredd knows about the three seashells. He is, the law.

I REALLY love that 1980s British sci-fi aesthetic epitomized by 2,000AD / Judge Dredd, old Games Workshop, Heavy Metal (the magazine), NWOBHM album art, Alan Moore comics, etc.

Mr. Grapes! posted:EDIT: In a similar topic: Is there any medieval/fantasy movie in which armor actually matters? Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, whatever, they like to make a big deal about how armor is important but in any given battle scene it is entirely irrelevant and arrows will penetrate it just as well. I think half the people who remember Macbeth 1971 do so entirely because the armor actually matters a whole lot. https://youtu.be/YOp-t5akdWQ

My father's irrationally irritating movie moment about From Hell: He was watching the scene where Johnny Depp's character put coins on of Jack the Ripper's victims' eyes and says that it's tradition in order to pay the ferryman. Then my father, almost angrily, blurts out: "That's not why they did it, they did to keep the eyelids closed."

Quite. Demolition Man benefits from Schneider not being in the film much, and not playing a normal Schneider roll. Judge Dredd would have benefitted massively from not having a wacky sidekick at all, least of all one played by Rob loving Schneider.

The dumbest thing about the Stallone Judge Dredd is the bit where the fact that he and Rico being clone bros is a secret. That's like making a Batman movie that acts like a big twist is that Bruce Wayne is Batman.

Judge Dredd is only a better Judge Dredd adaptation if you grade adaptations on sheer volume of references. Dredd gets the feel of the comics (and especially the title character) way better.

I think the casting is perfect, specifically because nobody's British. You can't read a single issue of 2000AD and not cast Dredd as a musclebound american action star who communicates mainly through grunts

The IIMM in DREDD to me was that the hot shot ammo was a heat seeker, not a flare, in the comics. Everything else is basically perfection as far as sticking to the comics but that one thing they kinda hosed up. Still, loves me some Urban.
