The other problem is that a lot of the laws as set in the comics are there in order to provide a satirical take on policing or aspects of the real world. Dredd busting a sugar dealing ring might work fine in a comic book setting but as a live action movie will just come across as silly."

In the movie, they were arresting people for the crime of bullet time.
It is very silly.

I feel that's more a threat than anything, the third season of Star Trek was the worst.

I own this book, I haven't read all of it, but a lot of it seems frighteningly spot on.

If Demolition Man were released today the PC brigade would be all over the internet arguing Cocteau was the good guy, because he was working toward the Greater Good.

"PC brigade" a code phrase for "people that call me out for my racist/sexist/lovely opinions"
I'm so sure people would argue that Cocteau was totally in the right, just as they do Big Brother! Oh, wait.

:lol: Demolition Man was a prophetic warning about the dangers of political correctness going mad, you guys!

I mean, this is why Demolition Man is so great, it's a right wing horror film "This is what liberals actually believe!"

Dennis Leary, leader of the true 'mericans, basically quoting his rear end in a top hat song is probably the best part.

You seem kind of defensive about it. Sorry to have offended you with an opinion. Mellow greetings. I will fine myself one half credit for violation of the verbal moralities act.

Psycho.

Ah yes, calling shitheads out on terrible opinions is being "defensive"
You got me, good show, gonna go cry some PC tears.

This is exactly how I pictured the guy who made that Power Ranger short would look.

Much like Dredd, he only produced it. Power/Rangers was directed by the guy that did Torque and Detention.
