If so, she wins hands down. She was just god-awful. The Laurie in the comic wasn't anywhere near as as annoying.

As long as we're doing TV, sweetie.

She really did kill Doctor Who for me. No spoilers.

Seconded.

Haha!! I just now realized the show has gotten a lot better once she was killed.

I wonder how it feels to know you got a job because you look like a fridge bitch?

Frankly I don't see the resemblance.

There are indeed things to like about it, but the cheese and cringe-worthy dialogue/performances ("LAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!"), not to mention the non-stop logjam of Hollywood action movie cliches (to the point that it felt like a parody at times) really just killed it...and then there was Rob Schneider, the most annoying asshole sidekick ever.

I think the later Dredd is a far better movie...I have no problem with them playing it straighter and more seriously - the silly sense of humor from the comic would be hit-or-miss in live action - but the lack of some of the signature aspects of the Dredd world were missed. The new movie was less a Dredd movie and more an action movie with Dredd dropped into it.

Like, it's cool when Dredd mentions Resyk or you see Chopper graffiti in the background, but those moments were way too few and far between. I'm okay with that, but if they ever make a sequel (which is doubtful), I'd like to see more from the comics in there.

I dunno I still like the Stallone Dredd, for as much as it got wrong (Rob Schnieder sidekick, etc.) I can never not watch it when it's on TV so it definitely falls into the guilty pleasure category alongside say the Nic Cage's Ghost Rider movies.

I should get the bluray of dread just so I can watch the robot. I will always love practical robot effects. Puppets or real. They're just great when done right.

No doubt about it, that ABC Warrior robot was a damn impressive effect. Even if they don't move quite as fluidly or quickly as a CG creation, a well-done physical prop like that tends to add much more realism into a scene.

For mechanical characters like that, something that has actual physical weight and presence is so much better than some super-smooth iRobot effect.
