Karl Urban confirms he's playing Judge Dredd
Karl Urban confirms he's playing Judge Dredd
Dr. McCoy is the law! We reported a rumor that Star Trek star Karl Urban would play the futuristic, fascistic lawman in the new Judge Dredd movie the other day. Asked about it at Comic Con, Urban said the rumor is "lookin' good." And he told another news outlet that director Pete Travis had actually offered him the role, "and we're in the process of making it happen."
And don't worry, purists - Urban says if he plays Dredd, he'll keep the helmet on the entire time. He adds:
I will say this, hypothetically if I went to a movie that was called "Judge Dredd" and the character or the actor who played Judge Dredd took the helmet and I would see his full face and features I would puke in my popcorn because that's not Dredd. He's mysterious and enigmatic. We're going to do it right.

YMFY
In a significant step toward an AIDS vaccine, U.S. government scientists have discovered three powerful antibodies, the strongest of which neutralizes 91% of HIV strains, more than any AIDS antibody yet discovered.
Looking closely at the strongest antibody, they have detailed exactly what part of the virus it targets and how it attacks that site.
The antibodies were discovered in the cells of a 60-year-old African-American gay man, known in the scientific literature as Donor 45, whose body made the antibodies naturally. Researchers screened 25 million of his cells to find 12 that produced the antibodies. Now the trick will be for scientists to develop a vaccine or other methods to make anyone’s body produce them.
Holy shit.
Yes.
Straight out of William Gibson novel!

Dylan Moran, What It Is (excerpt)
“So, yes… death. When you’re young, you think about it… Well, you don’t really think about it, you know — you have the intelligence of raspberry jam — you don’t think about anything. But it’s there, as a mode of force, making you do things. Go and get a job. Go and find a flat. Find somebody else. Put them in the flat. Make them stay. Get a toaster. Go to work. Get on the bus. Look at your boss. Say, FUCK. Sit down. Pick up the thing. Go blank. Scream internally. Go home. Listen to the radio. Look at the other person. Think, WHY? WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? Go to bed. Lie awake at night. Get up. Feel groggy. Put the things on — your clothes, whatever they’re called. Go out the door, into work. Same thing. Same people. Again. It is real — it is happening to you. Go home again. Sit. Radio. Dinner. Mmmm. GARDENING GARDENING GARDENING death.”
Sad but true, I want to know once you start to realize this, how do you escape from it?
