September 21, 2012 — what’s to dredd?

Oh yeah. I’m bad. You know it.

Other than learning that Karl Urban is taking on the role of Judge Dredd…face armor included?

Can you imagine hiding those dreamy eyes from his number one adoring fan? No, my neither.

I get the whole comic book hero thing about covering up the face…it’s supposed to be MYSTERIOUS. Personally, I think the producers have made a big mistake. Women could give a flying fuck about mysterious. Okay, a little mystery is interesting. Up to a point. Like not finding out right away that a guy is a slob or that he’s just a little too close to his mother.

Most of the actors in recent block-buster comic book-to-movie extravaganzas eventually show you the goods. Iron Man is probably the best example of having your cake and eating it too. You get to see Tony Stark in tight pants AND a really cool action man outfit.

I want me some cake!

It’s an offense to all that is girly to make Karl wear something that hides a pair of his best assets. As one of my top ten sexiest men on this planet, he deserves to expose so much more…like his feet. Have you ever seen his feet? Absolutely gorgeous…and huge? Oh my yes.

I mean…I could understand if it was someone like Byronic Man, or  Tom, or Steve, or Oma, in the role (they are also on my top ten list) because they are just mere mortals (sorry guys but it’s true.) Each in their own way has a certain sex appeal.

Like Byronic Man, for example. How’s that for a swoony kind of nom de plume. (He claims he dons a cape and mask nightly to fight crime but I just think he’s saying that to impress the ladies.)

Tom has a thing for poop. His negativity is a big turn on…makes me want to get all S&M on his ass.

Steve, being a scientist, I’m sure knows how to light a girl’s bunsen burner off the thermodynamic temperature scale.

And Oma is a cop. A hot cop. I’m talking NYPD Blue in the early years hot.

Then there is the Mister, who is all this and more. However, as far as I know, not one of these guys is from New Zealand or part of the cast of Lord of the Rings, Red, The Borne Supremacy or Star Trek.

Except maybe in their imaginations.

Sadly, this decision by Peter Travis (the director) to keep Karl underexposed has left me with no option but to focus on Karl’s lips for the entire duration of the movie…

Ah. Ahem. Okay. *eye roll*

Ignore what I just wrote. I so totally get what Peter is doing. The man is a genius…and a bit of a sneaky bugger. But I’m on to you, Pete. And when September 21 arrives and I’m first in the theatre, I’ll be all set with my anti-fog glasses for that super hot nude scene I know will be coming.

Because if Karl’s not showing his face he’ll be showing something else. Right? RIGHT??

  1. Have you been on the beach this whole time?????? Glad you’re back! I will have to check out these hot bloggers! I am already a Byronic Man fan…
    Such a shame to hide him under a mask. They should have hired an ugly guy and saved their money! :)

    • Not the whole time but…back home and we’re in our 8th day of rain. :-( But we’re off to housesit for friends in the big city for the next two weeks and they have cable and internet and NetFlix…oh my!

      Do check out some of those bloggers of the male persuasion. At the least you’ll get a good laugh and maybe catch B-Man in a full frontal sans his mask.

  2. I was going to suggest you start a top Maxim type list for women but then remembered my last time in the check out aisle. Doesn’t Cosmo do something like that? That huge feet thing is a myth right?

  3. To be on your Top 10 list and called sexy in the same post? I might have to permanently link to here for when the science turns against me… :)

    And don’t worry, I’m sure there will be PLENTY of Karl sans helmet. :)

    • If all else fails in the science department you can always take up bar tending. :-)

      I can’t wait to see how Karl looks all shiny and toting a big gun. I’m taking my binoculars to the theater so I don’t miss out on anything.

  4. Note to self: Find out who Karl Urban is.
    To Do List: Go online to Zappos to shop for some new shoes – The retailers don’t carry much above a 13 and I wear 15′s.

  5. Look on the bright side. (Yeah, I just said that.) At least you still get to see the bottom half of his face. And I’ll bet there are plenty of full facial nudity scenes in the movie to keep you going.

    Just yesterday the boss said he didn’t care much for Doctor McCoy in the latest Star Trek movie. I straightened him out. Karl as Bones rocked. I’m hoping they do a lot more with the character in the next film. Just for you.

    I’m still trying to process that “sex appeal” comment. Usually the best I get is something along the lines of “almost lifelike.”
