Unfortunately they are doing this movie on a shoestring. It has a $50 million
budget. In the hands of a hungry young filmmaker it could be good but I won't
hold my breath.
It will be interesting to see if they go closer to the source material this
time. I'd love to see a real go at Mega City
Dredd fans hate the movie the way I hate the American Godzilla. It was Dredd In
Name Only.
The comics are good and if that world got put on screen it could be something
special. Unfortunately I doubt that will ever happen.

I'm still ticked that Threshhold and Surface never got proper endings.

One evolution expert believes that the bow was brought to America by the
group that separated from the first group of Africans that traveled through
Europe and over the Bering Strait. But that doesn't explain the use of the

Well, it looks like Segway has been building robots for the military...
Check out some of their videos.

The interesting thing about this is that India is rarely thought of like
that, but they are also just as extreme as China in certain circumstances.
They may not be running people over with tanks but...

I don't think that is a bad thing. With 1500 developers you will have subtle
variations in the UI. Some good and some bad. Being forced to use the same
generic UI all the time takes away from a potential new experience for the
user.
