For those of you kids who do not know, there’s an Æon Flux movie coming out staring the beautifully hot (is ‘beautifully hot’ even possible?) & sexy Charlize Theron! This is made to order for the western world, so I’m assuming it will be a crazy hit. Actually, it will be damn hard to replicate the toon with all its crazy characters & worlds, but anything’s possible in a post-Matrix era! Irregardless, the movie will be indefinitely delayed (minimum 6 weeks) due to injuries suffered by our Spicy Charlize. What kind of injuries? Well, Seattle Times overheard a Charlize rep saying,
“No cuts, no broken bones. I think it was something less tangible than that. … Something vague and nagging.”
Since when were we playing ‘guess the injury?!’ Shit. That is, by far, one of the most useless ‘updates’ on an injured entertainer, I’ve heard. This “representative” should be fired.
Anyway, moving on to a more nostalgic tone. God. I loved this show. Even though Æon (product of an Asian, Steve) was one of those shows where I watched almost every episode on MTV, but for some odd reason, I had no bloody clue what was going on. The plot was so beyond me. I just remember a really tall scientist in a long white-coat & an equally tall woman decked out in the skimpiest of lingerie running around in these completely screwed up worlds. I have faint images of them in incubators & at times injecting crap inside one another, so my mind tends to pick up the sick stuff, as you can see.
I can't help but think that the upcoming Aeon Flux movie is really going to suck. All of the elements that made up the series can only be achieved through animation. The characters and story lines of the series simply can't be replicated on the big screen. The leading character doesn't look anything like Aeon Flux. Her clothes and hair couldn't be further from the original style created by Peter Chung. Did he have any input towards this film? I think he should have done everything he could to prevent it from being made. A full length feature animated film to show in theaters would have been a far better idea. I'm just really pissed about the whole thing. They ought to just let Aeon stay dead as opposed to making this film. Okay, I guess I have made my point.
That was me ... didn't realize that I didn't have the info plugged in. Oops!
I'm excited about the movie. So she is gonna die her hair black. The show was fuckin awesome. I think sometimes you might be able to watch it on adult swim on cartoon network really really late at night. I think. Hey did you watch the animatrix? The animator for Aeon Flux did one of the vingettes (is that how you spell it?) ... well whatever they are called.
