Whoops…sorry.
Whoops…sorry.
I'd just like to add at this point:
The only Tim Burton movie I even like at all. That said, it's a wee smasher, almost perfect. Maybe because Danny 'bing-bong choirs' Elfman was nowhere fucking near it, and Howard Shore knocked it out of the park with his completely serious, sinister monster-movie score.
He's answering the question, that's the scene in Basketball Diaries with People Who Died on the soundtrack, Di Caprio playing a midnight basketball game in the thunder and rain.
teadoust, you motherfucker that made me laugh.

Henry Mancini is way cooler than Dr Dre or Eminem. I'd have been honoured to meet him. The other two? Meh….
Danny Cannon who made the Stallone version is British as well though. Britishness is no guarantee of success.
In fact fuck this
Somebody needs to do a decent Strontium Dog movie. It'll be like X-Men, only not as touchy-feely. And a lot uglier and more violent.
Please don't let this happen.
the best comic book character of the last 30-odd years should not suffer the indignity of being fucked up the arse by TWO mediocre-verging-on-godawful directors called Danny.
Ahem….Jason STATHAM? Jason Spaceman, I think you mean…
The only thing that we know for sure about Dredd's appearence 'under the visor' is that he's totally bald. So not a tasteful 80s-retro Eyetallion Stallion perm then.
Bloc Wars/Apocalypse War is an ideal place to start, because everybody involved in the 2000AD serialisation was firing on all cylinders and creating some of the most grimly humorous, (literally) apocalyptic, crypto-fascist satire this side of Starship troopers. What the makers of the Stallone version missed…
It's depressing reading these comments and realising that in America the words 'Judge Dredd; mean 'crappyy Stallone movie' and not 'most awesomely cynical and blackly funny comic book character ever.'
~He may be 'likeable' in The Wire, but he's not entirly free of loathesome qualities: eg, where, pray, is Wallace?

Uh. *O'Reilly*
I love Oz. yes it was ridiculous, but in the way that great comic books are. It was basically (especially in its later seasons) a comic book for adults. I'm fine with that,because Saeed, Adebisi, Beecher, O'teilly and (ESPECIALLY) Schillinger were some of the greatest characters I've ever seen, being brought to life…
