Not quite sure what you mean, but think that's a good thing and I'm ok with that  , will give it a shot.

Never got into Justified but I have watched the episode involving Hitler's paintings a number of times because I find the ending (and the journey to it) just so darn satisfying.

I've watch a few of the new version and could it be:

The whole show feels like an event organised at an OAP home, with Aisha in charge explaining everything slowly and in excruciating detail for the residents / contestants. And yes we know the points don't matter, but telling us that before each game feels too much. Also seeing 90 year old lie on top of a female guest looks kinda icky. Or could it simply be having a young female host instead of the old Drew Carey brings a different dynamic to the proceedings - she doesn't partake in the hoesdowns, right ?!

That said, I loved the original US series more than the UK version and have a whole bunch of hoedowns on my HD (legally of course) + a link to the youtube "Naroshi" clip. 

oops.

This weeks UK TV Listings Mag had as it's front cover a poster containing the baddies from EVERY SINGLE FORTHCOMING EP for the remainder of this season  , and iiuc inside contained a detailed description of each of these eps - I say IIUC cos I'm in the "spoiler avoidance" camp so skipped all those pages. I really don't know why anyone would want such spoilers.  - note to self: remember that at the end of each ep there's a spoiler filled trailer to the next one. 

Was going to pose this as a question: is it used to keep liquid cold, like a thermos, but answer#11 says it only has a single purpose and thermos's keep things both cold AND hot, which is two, right ?! - so I'm NOT going to waste the final question. 

Do you use it to blend, mash and/or cut things up - like a blender ? (that's a single question, right?!)

You do know about the unrated version, right ?!    - maybe for that version they reinserted all the awesome. 

Doesn't work for Windows XP computer, but I'm sure, if it did, that I'da beaten your score outta the water. 

I knew I didn't know much about movies, but now I see I know even less.    - btw: looking down that link I'm kinda shocked about the Die Hard 2 figures cos I was so certain it was generally felt to be a pale imitation of the first and thus did badly at the box office, but instead it blew the original away. 

Things I noted down whilst listening to your commentary

Dredd's expression - in the comics he wears shoes that are one-size too small, not sure why though.

The elevator inconsistency thing - looking back it appears that her finger was on the trigger and he puts his hand over the top of her hand so would be able to activate the gun by pressing down on her finger - kinda like someone unworthy picking up Thor's hammer by picking up Thor whilst he is holding the hammer (ish)

The sentence fitting the crime thing - one of the comic stories is set at a blood donation center, man is scared of needles, runs away, steals a blood transportation van (full of blood) to aid his escape, van crashes and blood is ruined. Dredd sentences him to the IsoCubes where he must remain until he has repaid the blood, and at 1 pint a day (or maybe a week) that will be quite a long time (it was a big van).

What spoilt the movie for me was, having seen The Raid some months before, I was waiting for the time when Dredd dropped his gun, or run out of bullets, and had to go up against a room of baddies armed only with his two fists and night stick, so we could have seen just how tough and bassass he is - but it never happened.

The thing I don't get is, if they needed it to make $50 million in the USA for them to get their sequel (which would have deatl with the corruption in the force and Dredd venturing into the Cursed Earth), and I know hindsight is 20-20, but why take a character who is pretty much unknown there and saddle the movie with the more expensive 3D ticket price and 18 certificate ? If they'd ditched the 3D and gone for a 15 (they have 15 in USA, right ?!) wouldn't that have widened their possible audience by being more enticing - no being asked to pay extra for the glasses to see something you know barely little about. Then they could have brought out an unrated version for the DVD/BlueRay market. (appeaseing all the 2000AD fans up in arms about the 15 certificate)

Most memorable: The Raid (Redemption) - made watching Dredd 3D less fun 

Most memorable bit: The Hulk taking out one of those dragon beasties with a single punch 

Most disappointing: The Dark Knight Rises - After the greatness that was The Dark Knight I wanted to love it but Bane sounding like Yoda and a whole bunch of other stupid stuff made that impossible.
