I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

    Judge Dredd was quite good even though Stallone took the helmet off a bunch. IIRC he was willing to do the whole thing in helmet, but I bet the money guys needed to see his face.

    Never thought I’d see the Angel Family on film, that was wild!

    Bonus: The actor playing psychotic cannibal Pa Angel would go on to be the kindly farmer Herschel on Walking Dead.

        Oh, he definitely did, but I think the Stallone version better captured the absolute bonkers feeling of the comics.

        I just hope the next time someone tackles it we get the Dark Judges storyline, but that might be too expensive to pull off outside full animation.

      Damn, never made that connection about herschel. I like Stallones dredd just because it’s so quotable.

      Eat recycled food. It’s good for the environment and okay for you.
