Dredd (2012) is our winning film this month (see voting post here).
Please treat this as discussion thread for the film … or if you like, write up your own posts about it in the community!
Also, if you have any tips on where to get it, please feel free to share (I’ll probably add them to the top post).
Personally, I’ve seen this one a few times, I even saw it on my birthday the year it came out as a present to myself!
And if you don’t know, it was written by Alex Garland (and partly directed by him too) … right before he did Ex Machina and Annihilation, and of course the same person behind Civil War. But sadly, it didn’t perform well at the box office, though it probably should have … very well done lower budget action IMO.
As with last month, I’ll put up “live watch” threads here, scheduled for 7pm Sunday, 1st July, in
- CT “Central Time” (USA), and
- CEST “Central Euro Summer Time”,
It’s still a bit of an experiment, so do please check in if you can or provide any feedback on the whole live watch thing.
The basic idea is to start the film at 7pm as well as you can and casually chat, while avoiding the hassle of any synchronized stream. For which Lemmy’s “chat” view now works (since v 19.3 or 19.5)
That being said, if anyone else would like to run a synchronized live stream, please go ahead and advertise in this community!
Honourable Mentions
only one real honourable mention this time, and it is truly a classic film too IMO:
Sneakers
- It got nearly as many votes as Dredd.
- And it is a classic … if you haven’t seen it, do you self a favour and check it out. It’s technically a hacking film from 1992, but the parts of hacking that it focuses one have aged very well.
