I have ALMOST all the episodes on Super-VHS tape that I recorded back in the day when it was on Liquid Television. I simply loved that show. It was sooooo original and just unlike anything else out there. I'm going to have to revive those tapes and watch 'em again. It's been so long.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

MutoidMan Wroteamn, you people are freakin' tight-asses! Two movies filled with hot women in tight clothes kicking ass.

I don't have a clue as to what DOA is. I watched the trailer and saw some hot chicks in what seemed to be a very cheesy chick action movie. Not that I'm against that or anything - I just don't know anything about it. Doesn't look like something I'd pay to see though... might check it out next year when it's on cable.

Now ÆON FLUX is a different story. That was an awesome animated series - especially the original shorts on Liquid Television. I rather enjoyed the strange, graphic, violent, and very creative animated shorts. There was no real dialogue (except for the one time when Aeon said "plop") and I wasn't always sure what was going on - but man, was that COOL!

The half-hour series was very good as well. The addition of dialogue was kind of weird at first, but it still worked. The character and series were both very unique in style, presentation, and originality - at least that's how I saw it. It was such a strange show, with such graphic things going on. ÆON was this quirky, sexy, and very deadly... well, whatever she was... like a special agent, or assassin? I forget if they ever explained that. It really didn't matter though - it all worked so well. It was a perfect blend of strange and unusual with cool animation and a dark futuristic theme.

MutoidMan Wrote:I mean really, when you consider the source material, what did you expect from the movies?

Well, the source material for ÆON FLUX was excellent. That is, if the source material were the original animated series. It looks like all they took were the name, the concept of a tough-chick with guns, and some very poorly translated images of the future... and added to that your typical, cheasy, idiotic, full of stupid supposed-to-be-cool-but-are-lame-ass one liners, cookie-cutter action film.

MutoidMan Wrote:True, it would be nice if ÆON FLUX turns out to have a decent story but I'm not really expecting it.

I was expecting far more than a decent story - I was expecting to see ÆON FLUX. Not just the character, but the concept, etc. Not only does what's her name NOT look like ÆON FLUX, nothing in the trailer looks or feels like ÆON FLUX should. I've seen the trailers and many production stills. Nothing stirs my interest in this film at all. Not a thing. I don't see ÆON FLUX at all - I see Hollywood taking a great concept and f--king it all up because they're too lame to come up with new material - so they had to take a great concept and butcher it to hell.

If ÆON FLUX cannot be translated to the big screen properly because it is "too much" for Hollywood - then they should leave it the hell alone. I would have loved to see a live action ÆON FLUX. Too bad they couldn't make one. Like I said before - Hollywood doesn't have the balls.

Some chick in tight cloths? It'll take more than that to get me even slightly interested in a film. I'm probably alone here, but what's her name ain't all that hot either - at least not to me. Perhaps I am just turned off because they're trying to pass her of as ÆON FLUX, which I think she is definately NOT. And before anyone says anything - NO - I would NOT like to see ÆON FLUX played by an actress who is really as skinny as ÆON FLUX was in the animated series. That whole sickly skinny thing would not work in live action, nor do I believe anyone would want to see that - I sure would not. But every other element would be great to see - especially an ÆON FLUX that actually LOOKS like ÆON FLUX. With all that Hollywood has to offer - they couldn't even make the film chick look like ÆON FLUX! Whatever. I get it. They wanted to make their AEON SUX - a characterwhere to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

haha, I'm with you there! That pretty much describes why I enjoyed it so much.

I was initially thrilled out of my mind when I heard there was a movie being made and then I slumped in my chair in utter disappointed as soon as I found out it was live action.

There's just no replacing the original concept for me.

I can appreciate your passion, Todd, for wanting to keep things real and true to the original.

AHG! The CG! My eyes! It burns....! *Dies* Seriously, they could have done much more better than they have. ^^;;

Aeon Flux's main character is supposed to be this super agile, spy type chick. Right? I never paid that much attention, but I always enjoyed the cartoon when I saw it.

What turned me off in an instant about the Charlize Theron vesion was the simple fact that a stealthy super spy type chick would not wear a SHINY leather suite to sneak around in. "Hey, what's that shining over there in the corner? It's a girl spy! Get her!", that's the kind of stuff that went through my head when I saw it.

I'm just glad when challenging sci-fi makes its way to the cineplex.

Truly, some of my favorite sci-fi films have been box-office flops because they were just too cerebral and less "blow 'em up" than what most call "sci-fi."

One of my favorite quotes from a film and fiction class I had in college after watching Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi masterpiece, Blade Runner, "Man, that was stupid. I mean, I like sci-fi and all. I liked Independence Day."

Insert gun into mouth and pull.

That's the problem. Real sci-fi gets a bad rap because Hollywood only wants the big money-making machines like Star Wars.

Look at the real sci-fi films of the past 50 years - Blade Runner, Tron, Dark City, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Strange Days, Dune, A.I. Artificial Intelligence - none of them set the world on fire at the box office (Blade Runner was considered a huge flop and, believe it or not, 2001 wasn't the big hit - except for with the acid-tripping crowd!), yet they are definitive examples of pure sci-fi. They aren't easy to digest for the masses. They create worlds where you are just thrown into the mix and it's either sink or swim.

I hope that Aeon Flux can be that cool, and from geek reviews on sites like Ain't It Cool News, that's the vibe I'm getting. Virtually it's that this film will fail because it's too high-brow for the mainstream and will find a cult audience.

Sounds like a similar situation with a cartoon about a scantily-clad assassin who died at the end of virtually every episode, doesn't it?
