Foosh!

How should one light a Solstice bonfire?  This year, I did it with thermite (video has a naughty word 'cos I was startled).  That's about 150 grammes of stoichiometric thermite made with ordinary, off-the-shelf stuff and lit with a sparkler.  The molten iron, at around 2000c, spattered and burned so we didn't retrieve it, but this proof-of-concept firing means I can go ahead with the thermite lost-wax casting I've got in the project file.  Yes, I'm going to be doing mjolnirs.  :)

Drokk! A new Dredd movie!

The rumour mill said:

Rebellion and 2000 AD are proud to announce that Judge Dredd is coming to a cinema near you soon!

Together with DNA Films, the movie production company behind such great sci-fi movies such as Sunshine and 28 Weeks Later, Judge Dredd will go into production in 2009.

Jason Kingsley, CEO and Creative Director said, ‘We can’t give away too many details at this point, but we’re looking forward to working with DNA Films to bring Judge Dredd back to the big screen.’

 

Let the speculation commence.
