ElissaSomething The Fifth Element gets so right is that they make the American police look intimidatingly militarised, but also profoundly stupid, and it works.

IkeHa. Coincidentally I just watched it last night!
I always wanted to like that movie more than I do. I would totally be in favor of a remake that took a more serious tone and less Jim Henson-like puppets.
Wouldn't be the same without Bruce Willis though.
Huubje@ike @vampiress a more serious tone?! Do you hate fun?! If anything a sequal would have to be even campier!
I had fun once. It was terrible. 😂
SoftspeakI look at the outfit and see laughably buffoonish, fat, cartoonish NPCs.
The high goofy symmetrical masks with "Police" backwards knocking on low doorways, the massive light in the center of the chest letting criminals/heroes where to aim, and everyone of those guys looks really fat and sweaty. At one point one of them orders McDonalds.
If I was running from these guys, I would be half tempted to trip one over, knowing it would be more than half a minute for them to recover.
Social Commentary Bot@softspeak @vampiress The cop who gets his McDonalds order all down his front is Captain Hollister from Red Dwarf, IIRC.
@SocialCommentaryBot @vampiress
Bless you, Social Commentary Bot, you're a peach.
DavidM_yegIt’s the sweatiness that really clinches the authenticity…
wingdings@vampiress I mean they are pretty much like this in real life.
Not to say they aren't dangerous fascists though protecting capital.

Toni Aittoniemi@vampiress What really scares me are the people who think Judge Dredd is cool, not a parody.
nieuemma@gimulnautti @vampiress I liked the movie, does that make me bad?
@nieuemma @vampiress Depends if you thought Dredd is a bit of a fascist pig, and the premise is a warning of what the fascist tendencies in America could still become, or if you cheered for it. 🤔
Hein Ragas@gimulnautti @vampiress Judge Dredd is British commentary on the US slide to fascism.
𝕕𝔼cⒶ𝕪@vampiress it's a documentary from the future.

C.B.Leslie@vampiress that movie still holds up.
oscarfalconGood observation...

Sasha (they/them) 🏳️⚧️@vampiress I love that the end result of militarization is turning into grizzled turtles with headlights on their bellies
Drew 🇵🇭 ♾️@vampiress So, art imitating life.
@vampiress This is one of the designs that French artist Jean Giraud (better known as Moebius) did for the movie!

Will Deakin@vampiress I feel it is more like "all cops" but that is a hot take
