scmbradleyI'm taking the day off work because I feel terrible with flu. I'm going to watch TV all day. What should I watch? Stargate SG1 is kn Netflix now so that's an option. I think I can buy or rent battlestar Galactica or Babylon 5....
I've actually decided I want to watch action movies. So I'm starting with the Running Man remake.
I am taking recommendations for big silly switch-off-brain action movies. What have you got for me?
BenThe Raid and The Raid 2 for me. Also the Karl Urban Judge Dredd.
@TheBreadmonkey yeah! I saw the raid quite recently. I don't remember enjoying the raid 2 as much but maybe I should give it another try.
I love films like the raid or the Karl urban dredd where the story is so so simple it gets out of the way. "Some guys are trying to get to a place (and then back out) ". Boom lets go. Fury Road is another great example.

wendythedruid@TheBreadmonkey @Scmbradley Ben the urban Dredd is the only good Dredd. As an old 2000ad fan , when I see the stallone Dredd I immediately turn it off.
@wendythedruid @TheBreadmonkey my hot take is that Stallone has been in precisely one good movie and that movie is demolition man. And it's good primarily because of Wesley snipes and Sandra bullock.
@Scmbradley @TheBreadmonkey that is arguably my favorite Stallone scifi film , and I watch it fairly regularly , specially when I’m down or need background noise: we would get along really well o think Scm
there is beauty in simplicity@kinsale42 @Scmbradley @TheBreadmonkey well for me it’s the stuff like Joe Dredd taking his helmet off , Stallone did , urban did not. That happened in the 2000ad comics , Dredds helmet came off all of three times and this was a constant , also urban held Dredd’s pure objectivity better IMHO
woe2you@wendythedruid @kinsale42 @Scmbradley @TheBreadmonkey I wish we could have got more Dredd, maybe a series. Lot of material out there to adapt. Not all of it great, I'd hope they'd skip Walter, and I don't think the Dark Judges would have worked with the realistic slant they put on it but there are one shots like America that would have been great. Maybe the Apocalypse War as an ongoing arc.
@woe2you @kinsale42 @Scmbradley @TheBreadmonkey
It has been my impression that Urban loved that role and has actively been trying to find a way to get back to it, so he could do it again.
I would support this.
Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈@wendythedruid @woe2you @kinsale42 @Scmbradley @TheBreadmonkey I too, would support this. Motion passed!

So noted, Laz.
Von Xylofon@Scmbradley @wendythedruid @TheBreadmonkey I think that's not giving enough credit to Nigel Hawthorne.
