It's sorta a shame that there's a remake of it. Really! Why remake a classic? Is this because the producers for the North American version of Aeon Flux couldn't think of any better story ideas? I'd have to wonder on that. ^^;;

ÆON FLUX - the REAL one! Nothing cooler than that!

I LOVED the animated shorts of that on Liquid Television in the early 90's. That was, without a doubt, my favorite reoccurring segment on that show. The animated series a few years later was also very enjoyable. I watched it religiously... and haven't seen it since... what was it... 1995? It's been a while.

What a cool character. What a dark and interesting society. There were such strange, cool, and violent things going on in that show. I know some people don't care for violent shows, games, etc. - this show AND character were very violent, but to me it was all done so well. I'm not sure if that makes any sense. I just loved it for all that it was.

Unfortunately, some Hollywood idiots thought it would be cool to take that awesome character and society... and turn it in to some... jeez, I don't even know what to call it. From the commercials I've seen for the live action film, I can only wonder if the producers had ever even SEEN the animated shorts or the series? No? Oh, that explains a lot.

ÆON FLUX the animated shorts & short lived series - ROCKS!

ÆON FLUX the live action film... it may as well be called AEON SUX

Have you ever seen Hollywood butcher a great character so badly before? My best guess is that they thought they could rewrite and rehash this character and push it on a younger audience that is mostly unaware of the ORIGINAL, REAL and COOL ÆON FLUX character and premise.

Oh come on, Kamui - Hollywood has been clean out of FRESH ideas for a long time now! This only solidifies that fact even more. Hollywood wouldn't have the balls to actually make a live action film that has the feel of the original ÆON FLUX. I don't know why they had to disrespect the character like that with this film... oh please let it BOMB to send Hollywood a message! Grrrr - it probably won't.

Is it any wonder that I only step foot in a movie theater maybe once or twice every 4 or 5 years? Put something out WORTH seeing, right? Ok, actually there have been some good releases in recent years, but not many.

Alright, enough of my movie rants.

But I just have to say this...

AEON FLUX - their live action film? WTF!!!

I don't need to see the whole thing to know it sucks like a 10 dollar prostitute!

Charlize Theron.....check.

Tight Clothes.....check.

DVD......sometime next year.

Volume Control Set To 0.....check.

OK, I am all set for one viewing on a DVD rental next year. where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

Kamui Wrote:Then have you seen the trailer for Dead or Alive the movie? You just may wanna gouge your eyes out over that. Another fine piece of Hollywood stupidity. They need more creative people! (Or would they just waste them instead?) ~Kamui.EXE

No, I haven't seen the trailer for that yet... at least I don't think I have.

In regards to creative people in Hollywood, I think there are PLENTY of creative people there. I believe Hollywood has a great concentration of the best of the best (not meaning the best, period though). BUT with all that creativity they've got at their disposal, it is generally the fault of those in charge. The management and decision makers and the ones calling the shots - they are the problem. They are why we are not seeing any real innovation or new ideas.

Hollywood wants to play the safe card. If they know a formula that has worked in the past - they'll keep pressing that cookie cutter to the sheet over and over until people are so sick of it they puke. Then they find another (once) great idea and clone the hell out of that too. That is just one of many problems though.

It has been said that there are more politics in Hollywood than in Washington DC. That is, in large part, how great ideas turn in to regurgitated crap.

I believe AEON FLUX started out as a cool film idea... and then the Hollywood machine kept chiseling away at it until they've F--K'd it up enough to not even be AEON FLUX anymore. Take a great idea - then change it all around and pat each other on the back for the idiotic crap you end up with. That is also, in large part, how the Hollywood machine works.

Why do I bother ranting about this. Nothing will change anytime soon. Nor will I drop a dime to see anything in a theatre until it does.

In the meantime... that ÆON FLUX Animated Collection does look appealing! Might have to get me one.

Jeff Skoll, who was eBay's first president and co-founder got fed up with Hollywood bullsh** has started a film company that is turning out social commentary type pictures. "Good Night And Good Luck" was one, along with "Syriana" and "North Country". I have seen "Good Night And Good Luck" and it was great. Makes you think instead of numbing your mind. I suggest seeing some of these films instead, and you may feel better about movies

I'm not much in to social commentary personally, but you're right, Boingo_Buzzard - there are some good films out there. Many independent films get overlooked because they don't have the budget for the advertising bombardment that the big "blockbuster" (note the quotes) films have. The independent film artists are generally out there to put forth a good show too, and not just some fancy light show with a rehashed and been-there-done-that plot (or lack there of). As with any film, the bottom like is turning a profit. But at least many independent filmmakers try and turn a profit with their creativity and art, instead of trying to just make another cookie-cutter action-film that is bound to attract a young audience with a disposal income.

It's sad that the independent films don't get much attention.

That's a very positive way of looking at things though. Thanks!

Ready.... set.... GOUGE:

WTF..... Thoses bras looked CG'd. It's gotten to the point where we have to CG bras in to a scene! And all the chest shots and half naked woman? Talk about Fanboy fodder! MAtter of fact, it's so bad, I'd think even they would gouge their own eyes out (Either that or die from copious nose bleeds if they really ARE that pathetic.)

Yeah.... sorry I had to subject you to that. Plus side is that I now have something we can "Disect" in our Psychology class.....

MutoidMan Wroteamn, you people are freakin' tight-asses! Two movies filled with hot women in tight clothes kicking ass. I mean really, when you consider the source material, what did you expect from the movies?

I don't care one way or the other, with DOA. Like you said, because of what the movie is based on . . . what did anyone expect.

But the Aeon Flux movie . . . it just doesn't look like it's going to do justice to the animation. Which is what a lot of people were hoping, including myself. Aeon Flux is too cool, to be saddled with the legacy of a crappy movie.

I don't know how they planned on making a movie out of an animated series in which the titular character dies or is permanently incapacitated in the pilot, the shorts, and almost every episode, but they did it so I'm curious to see what happens.

Does Aeon die at the end? If she does, that would certainly be true to the series.

If you watch the trailer, Sithandra has hands instead of feet just like in the cartoon, so that's true to the series.

Personally, I just haven't yet heard enough about the movie to make a decision. I may even just go see it without reading any reviews just for fun.

As for DOA, being that I've never played it I wasn't aware that it had any kind of plot to be followed.

They way they advertise it, you'd think all it was about was hot girls in bikinis beating the tar out of each other. So if I go to see it, that's all I'm going to expect so if I get a little story and humor too, its all good.
