dreddhead123: The fact that Garland and DNA Films believe an oral sex scene is A) required B) suitable in a new 'faithful' Judge Dredd film prove what little regard they have for the character. I don't recall John Wagner doing an oral sex scene in any of his Judge Dredd stories. The screenplay is just nasty. There is an inherent nastiness to it. I felt that the first time I read the screenplay and I felt exactly the same when I re-read it. Ah, now, Scott; we both know the strip well enough to remember that there's been plenty of gratuitous titillation over the years. In the period when The Megazine was trying to make a virtue of its Mature Readers tag, Megazine 40 (volume three) featured a story, Sleaze, about Jura Edgar and the PSU holding incriminating images of public officials. The heart-shaped asses and pert Barbarella tits (i) of the vice girls involved were painted with obvious relish by John 'Charles Montgomery' Burns, as they were polled by the cream of Megacity's top politicos. What about that embarrassing 'Sex' issue of 2000ad (no. 1066), which was delivered to newsies in a plastic bag to protect little eyes from the 'filth' inside. Wagner's contribution to that ejaculatory outpouring of smut featured Dredd being molested by a factory full of scuddy sex robots. Dredd's creator obviously has a thing for robosexiness, because PJ Maybe's sex droid featured prominently in Tour of Duty, in various states of undress, sexual role-play and fetishism. And one of the best Dredd world stories EVER, Return of the Taxidermist, features the finals of the Olympic Freestyle Sex event as one of its recurring gags. The only way in which I can agree with the substance of your post is that the instances I cite above are essentially playful in nature, which can't be said of the way you describe the events in the Garland script. I've got to agree with furrybastard, that everything turns on how that scene is shot and edited. If it's clear that the scene represents the female character taking control of the situation, and any nudity isn't of the gynaecologically exact Michael Bay variety; then the power in that scene is with her, rather than with the male character or the prurient gaze of the viewer. There's nothing unprecedented about, or wrong with, T & A in MC1, per se.

I've got to agree with other Forum Members that it all turns on how that scene is shot and edited. If it's clear that the scene is presented as Anderson taking control of the situation and any nudity isn't gynaecologically exact, the power in that scene is with her. There's nothing unprecedented about, or wrong with T & A in MC1, per se. (i) You know, the kind that are full and round at the bottom but turn up at the nipple, like Huckleberry Hound's nose. They were everywhere in the Sixties.
