Why doesn't Dredd ever take his helmet off?
I'm dreddging up some old memories here, but I think I read an episode in 2000AD where he did, and we only see his head from the back, but it's clear he has hideous scarring or somesuch.

Pixar actually has quite a few formulas that they work with. However they are more subtle in how they function and as such allow the creative team a lot more latitude on how to craft and tell the stories that they tell. There's a few "making of" documentaries out there on Pixar and its interesting to hear of some of the formulas that they work with and that even when you start to see patterns they are subtle story telling tools rather than flat out copy-catting.
One that I recall is that they use a formula where they present the beginning of the film with the key characters having something, often an idealistic lifestlye or at the very least a happy one. They then create a point of drama, a major event very early on that destroys this period of happyness and presents conflict and challenge for the lead character(s).
Hollywood in general though is more poaching fans at present; they are re-releasing all these old classics with new-modern takes to try and get a guaranteed early boost of fans who will be there in the cinema to watch it for that box-office week.
I know that Hollywood has become dependent on producing movies that I have no desire to see. In the past twelve months I think I have (to the best of my recall) gone to a move theater exactly once, and that was because my daughter paid for me to go along on a family outing.
I don't mind that all these blockbuster movies exist and so many people are enjoying them. That's a good thing. I just wish that Hollywood would spread the pleasure around more and not put zillions of dollars into a few films instead of sparing a few millions here and there for more variety.
They're too chicken to try new things.
