FIRST TIME WATCHING: Dredd

It sucks we'll never get a sequel but we're getting Scary Movie 6 so who knows🤣

Off topic and I wish I had thought to make this request earlier but Secondhand Lions in honor of Robert Duvall

Nat, I don’t think Judge Anderson quit. That was her leaving the precinct at the end: she was carrying her “New” helmet.

Great to see this reaction, always loved this one for what it is! For that device at the end I figure either MaMa was bluffing about the explosives, the device was faulty, or it is the most poorly designed trigger in the world. The first two make the most sense, the latter would require the device to have a connection and register her heartbeat stopping, instead of just going off it the bomb stops getting a signal from the trigger. Meaning shooting it off her arm, destroying it, would have had the same effect. The fall is obviously much more cinematic (if a bit bloody).

Dredd’s scowl is a very important character trait and Karl Urban nails it 😂

Regarding what Anderson was reading from Dredd at the beginning: I don't know if the comic started this way, but it definitely gets into mythological/paranormal as it goes. There's a character called Judge Death that is the antithesis of all life and whose spirit is able to jump into other minds. I wonder if Anderson's line is just a little tease for that storyline. Maybe a plot hook for a sequel that never happened?

Karl Urban was Eomer in Lord Of the Rings the Two Towers and Return of the King. He wasn't in Gladiator

I love how this movie is just another regular day on the life of Dredd 😆

It really is like this movie and Speed Racer that melts my brain with the colors

Anderson didn’t quit at the end. The final shot is her walking out of the halls of justice with her helmet. 90 minutes is the perfect length for an action movie. While this is a good movie, in 3D, on a big screen, it’s an excellent one. It’s a pity it didn’t do better and it should get an imax revival.

Predator: Badlands for the next movie poll and Predator: Killer of Killers for an animated movie poll. I’m probably gonna keep saying this until it happens lol. Please don’t ban me.

This was a really fun one to watch with you Nat! You're so right this movie knows what it is and decides to be the best possible version of itself. I wish we had gotten another one because it's so well executed and fun.

As someone who grew up with 2000AD (the comic Dredd was in) Karl Urban nailed the character and really embodied the spirit of the comic. I honestly couldn't see anyone else doing this role so well. Dredd is famous for never revealing his face which thankfully this film stuck to unlike the Sylvester Stallone version in 1995 where he spent the majority of the film with his face revealed.. Anderson was also a side character in the comics and became very popular leading to having her own stories. They covered a lot of different things going from serious commentary to wacky over the top stories.

The "period piece" you're remembering Karl Urban from is Lord of the Rings.

Not sure if Prime is different from iTunes, but on iTunes if you rent something and you are watching it and the "rental" time ends they let you keep watching it until you stop then it goes away. I was curious about this for something I rented and I was able to watch the content for hours after the rental time ended, but I was watching it at the time it expired. Not sure how amazon prime does things, Jeff seems like the kind of person to just auto charge you if you go one second over the "rental" period. I am so old I remember when people rented videos and got charged crazy late fees and also for not rewinding the VHS tapes.

you can tell with anderson this test was the worst experience she ever had to endure. to come close to death, to be outnumbered and constantly scared. to dredd, you can tell with him that its just another tuesday. also, gavin free from the slo-mo guys youtube channel, i recommend, did the slow motion for this movie.

Karl Urban is in Lord of the Rings also.

One of the best comic book adaptations out there. Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, and Lena Headey are all top rate here. Good shit. "Defense noted."

Natalie, the rookie did become a full judge, and confirmed that at the end. I love watching movies with u. i know editing shows are easier, but i wish u would watch movies on monday, too. i hope i don't get any hostility for wat i say because i've had that problem in 3 other Patreon communities. U seem to watch alot of shows now and imo, they suck and i can't find where to stream them . But like i said.... I know u probably won't take the suggestion into consideration, but i thought i'd still voice my opinion. i'm glad u came through ur surgery with flying colors. I hope u will continue the scream franchise. Scream 7 comes out in 7 days. If u wait for Natmares, u won't get thru them because i'm sure Scream 7 will be available for Natmares. Some movies i will recommend are Footloose, Dirty Dancing, Beetlejuice 2, Legally Blond and Varsity Blues. Stay Groovy.

I would swear the sound effect of the Slow-Mo drug is the same sound you get in GTA when you drive in slow-mo.

One quick note: In the beginning when Dredd was getting "ready for work" - they had a closeup of the gun "DNA check. I.D. OK." So, they did foreshadow the fact that the gun (called The Lawgiver, FYI) are synchronized to their Judges. But easy to miss if you are not looking for it. In the comics, Judge Dredd never smiles. He considers the LAW no laughing matter. He is the unwavering, emotionless personification of JUSTICE.

“I am the law 😑”

I don't think she quit. I think you're getting that from what she said when she let the tech guy go, but at the start Dredd gave her a list of things that were automatic failures, and losing her gun was one of them, so she figured she was just disqualified from the moment the guy they were arresting got the drop on her. She didn't expect Dredd to pass her anyway.

She didn't quit, Judge Anderson becomes one of the main characters and eventually a the head of the Psi-Division of Judges.

You misunderstood her, She thought she would fail her test since Judge Dredd told her if she would lose her gun, she would fail (which she did). So she was in the presumption that when this was all over she would get fired as a judge. But Judge Dredd passed her instead, since she had the heart and gumption to be a good judge. So the end scene is her becoming a full fledged Judge and riding off into work

Judgement Tiiiiiiime!

Filmmakers love this version. The cinematography. The character arcs. Wonderful stuff As a Dredd fan when I was a little kid this movie really scratches the itch of the irresistible force that is Dredd. In that respect this film is actually more about Judge Anderson. And the understanding that perhaps Justice doesn’t always need to be merciless

I was a little dissapointed that you didnt watch the 1995 Stallone version of this, but it will still be a fun watch..

Oooh! This'll be a nice Friday treat! Love this movie. And... I love the Stallone one probably just as much, lol.

Happy Feature Friday Nat. I'll wait for your YT to watch this one. Tried to watch this movie when it came out but ended up switching it off. Just found it dull and boring. I know the 2000AD / Judge Dredd purists despise it, but for me, the Stallone version is a hell of a lot more entertaining and more my cup of tea. Have a great Friday Nat. Look forward to your streams tomorrow 😊

Great way to start the weekend!
