Film related so...

I'm just watching Manhunter on one of the BBC channels, is it my imagination or is this piece essentially a chunk of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb?

[Sworntothecans]

Possibly. And Mann might have tempt the first cut of the movie using Floyd etc. as placeholders.


From what I recall yer man that did the score was part of The Wrecking Crew that did loads of session stuff in the 60s/70s.

Either way the only music everyone who watches that masterpiece is Ina Gadda Da Vida

Think he did The Hunger for Tony Scott too.

Didn't know what you were getting at until it got to the halfway mark 

[Carnage]

The chord progression is bang on, might have been placeholder/temp score alright.

Saw a poster today for a Luc Besson Dracula film coming out. First I'm hearing about it.

[Sworntothecans]

Looks fairly shite. He's pretty much been releasing duds since Fifth Element (and continuing being a perv).

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Haven't watched a trailer, but yeah, looking there now I've actually only seen one film he's released since Fifth Element, and that was Lucy, which is unmitigated bollocks. I guess that explains how he can have a Dracula film coming out that I've seen no buzz around whatsoever.

[Carnage]

Lucy and Valerian And The Blah Blah Blah are all I've seen since The Fifth Element and all three of those are dogshit. Leon was something else though.

Everybody wants a Dredd sequel. With Urban as Dredd, and the guys who made the original doing it. Simple.

Naturally, the clowns at Rebellion go "No, we'll get Taika Waititi and the guy who wrote The Fall Guy to do a new Dredd reboot."

Seriously, fuck off.

[Sworntothecans]

It's a tough rewatch, definitely recall being weirded out when I watched it first in the cinema.

The whole "well it's about the 12 year old I fancied and started dating when she was 15 and I was in my 30s but it's okay as I am French no?" does tend to weigh on really enjoying the movie.
Thank fuck for Oldman going deranged.

Think it was more Lionsgate than Rebellion there. He'll probably abandon it as he's kinda out of vogue with audiences.

Dredd was class, it should have done a lot better than it did

I may be pulling this out of my hole, but I seem to remember an interview somewhere with either the writer or director saying they really wanted to start off with the Judge Death storyline, but felt they couldn't destroy something they hadn't created yet, so the first Dredd was just about establishing the world before going nuclear in the follow up. Of course the first one didn't do great so any further films were canned. What could have been though...

[StoutAndAle]

Dredd should be a prestige TV show like "The Boys" or "Preacher".

You can't do much with the character and MegaCity One in a film - even if they made one as long as some of the Marvel movies.

That's why the comics worked so well - you'd be reading some utterly mad shit "Cursed Earth", "City Of The Damned", "Death Lives" and so on but you had time to live in the world and then wait for the next issue. Or in my case, at the beginning, put the compilation books down.

The first contemporary ones that I recall reading by the week were the "Judgement Day" and "Wilderlands" series.

All of those would make incredible TV - in the right hands.

Bring Her Back. Demented Aussie horror. Thought it was savage.
