Donny, I remember that this came up before but what do you think of Campbell's 'Danger Girl?' Jennka liked it a lot when I posted about it a while ago, and personally I think it's his very best.

I.. I...
 

Dat body!

Evening Don, I trust all's well?

Did you hear, the trailer for that Robocop remake finally landed. Initial thoughts are 'they shouldn't do it, but if they are doing it, then it probably could have been a lot worse.'

^+1. Actually looks pretty decent

Pretty happy with the cast too!

^It kind of reminds me a bit of the recent Dredd remake (which I thought was borderline not-too-bad) but on a much, much bigger scale. Never know, it could end up being something of a pleasant surprise.

^Yeah it made me think of Dredd too. I actually quite liked that - I'd rate it higher than borderline not-too-bad

I too much associate Robocop with Verhoeven to really imagine myself liking this.

And yes, I know Verhoeven only did the first of the three original features.

^It's the only one that matters

Although the second one had that bit where those guys captured and disassembled him.. that scene really stuck with me for some reason

I know what you mean though, he certainly leaves a distinct mark on his films. I can't imagine it resonating as much as the original did with me, but I'm keeping an open mind about it. I certainly have a better feeling about it than Total Recall <_<

Does anyone remember this avatar from a few years ago? Perhaps my finest moment

^Remember it well. Any chance of an encore?

^Yeah it made me think of Dredd too. I actually quite liked that - I'd rate it higher than borderline not-too-bad

Given Dredd's rich and futuristic source material, I'd expected something a little bigger in scale, but I thought it was as good as it could have been considering its budget constraints, and certainly a step in the right direction, with Urban banishing all memory of the horrid Stallone version. I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel, but widened to encompass the whole cityspace (which was probably the one thing that the '95 take got right).

Have you managed to catch the Partridge movie yet, Don? I was away during the opening week, and due to the apparent 'blink and you'll miss it' nature of its release in my neck of the woods, I fear I may have missed my chance.

There is one scene I like in the second one, and it's the one where we see the clip of the Mark 2 and Mark 3 and their unfortunate fates.

This is only half of the scene, there is a second prototype who kills himself by pulling off his facemask and revealing the "brain in a jar" underneath.

Donny, where did you get your marloes avatar?  she looks gorgeous!

The Partridge movie doesn't hit my screens until the end of October some time <_<

Hopefully, I'll still get a chance to check it out. The reviews have almost all been good so far, and apparently Alan is better dressed, better looking, even somewhat likeable. I’m not sure how I feel about that, I’ve always loved him at his most cringeworthy.

Are you talking about Alpha Papa?

^Yes indeed. Have you seen it, SS?

Not yet but it seems to be getting good reviews.
