    Ah now… Judge Dredd wasn't such a bad movie, really. There was just one problem with it.

    It wasn't a Judge Dredd movie.

    Besides a few name drops and some elements in common with the comics, it had fuckall to do with Judge Dredd. Not that any action star with an ego as big as Stallone's would ever agree to be in a legitimate adaptation, since one of the “rules” about writing for Dredd is that Dredd NEVER shows his face.

    You might get Statham to do it though. Hmmm… Damn shame we're already getting Urban; Statham's got a better chin for it…

    @Neue, you should read the Intermission column, more often, Bob already explained why that's a bad idea, for a video game movie.
    Also, Nathan did a Spider-Man type, on Venture Brothers, recently, so that was nice.

    And an Aussie (or is he a Kiwi?), playing a Brit character; interesting. But yeah, I'd like to see an actual Dredd movie, complete with British accents and cartoon violence. I want to see a Simon Bisley comic, brought to life.

    @Tyra

    So Bob's word is law? Give me a break.

    Am I the only one that was taught to “Never judge a book by its cover”? I know its real cool and nerd hip to shit on anything and everything but come on. How closed minded. How juvenile.
