Judge Dredd creator likes new movie reboot

I have to agree with Judge Dredd creator, John Warner, the piece of crap that was the 1996 Judge Dredd movie was horrible. I had been excited when I found out Sylvester Stallone would be playing Dredd. Then, I saw the movie.

GB: How do you view the 1995 Sly Stallone film these days? And is that view any different than it was at the time of its release?

JW: My views haven’t changed, though apart from my initial viewing I haven’t seen the film since it came out. They told the wrong story — it didn’t have that much to do with Dredd the character as we know him. I don’t think Stallone was a bad Dredd, though it would have been better and lent him more cred if he hadn’t revealed his face. He was just Dredd in the wrong story. I envy their budget, though. Some of the CGI was very good, and the re-creations of the Angel Gang and the robot. The robot actually came from a Pat Mills story and didn’t belong in Dredd, but it looked good. If the plot had revolved around characters like them the film would have been more successful.

It will be interesting to see what this new movie will do with Dredd. I have to say, I’ll see it, but I’m not overly excited. I still reserve hope that it will be good.

How Beavis and Butt-head might look in real life

These busts (huh-huh) are absolutely creepy. If this is what Beavis and Butt-head looked like in real life, I’d run the fuck away from them as fast as I could.

I wish they had done a better job on Beavis. I really like Beavis and he looks like a serial killer here. You can see more shots, including closeups, here.

What kind of movie would be better than Nazis who have been hiding on the dark side of the moon since 1945 and are now coming back to Earth? None, I tell you. None! April can’t get here soon enough.

Space Nazis attack Earth. There’s no way this isn’t going to be cool. Here’s a picture of the moon base for you to look at. Be sure to click on it to see all the details

I know a lot of people didn’t like River Song on Doctor Who, but I really did. I didn’t like Rory or Amy and enjoyed every River Song episode. So, here’s a timeline of her life.
