GFR Reports ‘Dredd 2’ Development ‘Confirmed’. Right.

#dredd @2000AD

A few days ago, Giant Freakin’ Robot confirmed through ‘sources’ that Dredd 2 is in development and that Karl Urban, who played the eponymous character in 2012’s Dredd, is attached. Colour me unimpressed. As an avid fan of 2000 AD and their most famous character, Judge Dredd, I loved Alex Garland’s Dredd and Karl Urban’s performance of same. They understood the character and the world Dredd…

In an urban symphony at twilight, she is a silent melody. Standing there, amidst the concrete dreamscape, with buildings towering like stoic guardians of time, she captures the dying light in her lavender hair—a whimsical nod from nature. Her eyes, deep with stories untold, hold the gentle chaos of stars not yet charted by astronomers. She wears lace and ruffles like the pages of a Victorian novel that's felt the fingers of a hundred readers, soft and frayed at the edges, yet strong in their narrative. A ribbon dances at her throat, black as midnight secrets, while layers of skirt flirt with the dusk, a contrast of innocence and mischief. Her stockings, patterned and bold, whisper tales of tradition and rebellion, a map etched upon the skin, leading to the sturdy promise of shoes that could stomp out rhythms or tippy-toe across dreams. She is an anachronism, a whispered verse of the past, lingering curious and bright in the rush of the now.

Graffiti on a metal shed door. Found in Lincoln, Lincolnshire UK.

It's interesting how different people view graffiti, for some it is the mark of vandals. For others it's self expression of a bustling urban arts community. Why can't it be both? There's always something controversial in art. I like our little rebellions. It reminds me that I'm still alive.......

First, this shows a delusional lack of understanding of Hamas by a former Israeli general. Hamas is neither pleased to see its own people destroyed (all of its fighters are Gazans, born and raised there. The people being killed their relatives, friends and neighbours) nor is it worried about Gazans 'rising in rebellion.' Why would Gazans rebel against their own resistance movement instead of the IDF? I know some people are going to say, 'Eiland is trying to soothe a dissatisfied Israeli public,' but earlier today, the IDF released a statement about Yusuf al-Mansi who is being held and tortured.

They're not just targeting Western audiences by trying to blame their crimes on Hamas, they're also trying to convince Gazans.

Look at all the dumb decisions made by the IDF - tanks with no infantry support, urban warfare against a guerilla army with an extensive tunnel system, letting their soldiers filming themselves (which both alienates the world and gives away their location), lying very incompetently about the war crimes it commits (like the siege and destruction of Al Shifa Hospital), releasing videos of IDF fighters shooting at walls, furniture, the air itself, etc and that's just in Gaza. The Israel government is now threatening to start war in Lebanon and fight the Ansar Allah group in Yemen the same time.

Secondly this signals that Israel has no intention of ending the siege soon. While Gazans are at risk of mass starvation, the real threat is disease, particularly illnesses like typhoid, cholera and dysentery.

We must not stop demanding that Gazans get sufficient humanitarian aid (not 20 measly trucks of expired food)

I don't think any protagonist can ever top Wei 'Yiling Laozu' Wuxian. No one is doing it like him. He is an icon. He can shoot arrows blindfolded. He is a prankster. He falls for a boy and decides immediately that he must have said boy's attention on him at all time. He is necromancer exacting his vengeance. He is just three years old. He is a flirt. He has his first kiss in his twenties. He does not remember your name. He does remember that one song his crush sang to him in a cave when he was injured and feverish. He is a sunshine boy. He survived the hell of hells. He died and was unhappily brought back to life. He's the bizarre genius, the miraculous hero, the force of the rebellion, the flower that blooms alone. He walks the single plank bridge alone. He is the awesome gay uncle who knows everything. He is a pretty boy. He is the most moral, steadfast person you know. He is just a man throwing flowers to his love. He rips his hard won talent out to repay a debt that never was. He is a sister's boy. He is an abuse survivor. He is an urban legend. He is one of the most handsome men of his time. He has so much trauma. He plants children like radishes. He threw the arrow he was shot with from a rooftop and killed someone. He is a talented musician. He is a scheming fox. He can drink you under the table. He is so fucking tired of this bullshit. He has probably long since burned his tastebuds with the spice he puts in his food. He is broke. He kisses skeletons on their hands in gratitude. He confesses his deep, abiding love in the middle of being held hostage. He attempts the impossible and succeeds. He is an untamed hero, standing against a world condemning the innocent. He is everything.
