...You bastard. I was just about to post this, with a much better intro (EDIT: and many more errors) might I add.

I suppose for now I'm just going to say that now her name, "Aeon Flux", makes sense, especially since I don't think it was mentioned at all in the cartoons.

Speaking of the cartoons, I would greatly appreciate the opinion of some that have seen the cartoons and then the movie. I need to how much I missed that was alluded, since I only vaguely remember Handler, and even then that's rather iffy; I've only seen a few cartoons, randomly and a long time ago (when they were actually on MTV, so when I was much younger).

orka
12-02-2005, 11:24 PM
I got dragged to the theaters by one of my friends, and to my surprise it wasn't as bad as I expected.

This is way better than the original cartoon IMO. I personally consider Aeon Flux and Peter Chung's artwork in general visual vomit. So although I thought the movie pretty much ditched psychological drama of the original and stuck to action, I didn't really mind.

So yea, you could pretty much tell that I hate Peter Chung.

Mavric
12-02-2005, 11:25 PM
I just came back from seeing this. I'm sorry but it was bad, very bad. I'm not an expert on the series as i've only seen a small amount of it but as a movie goes the acting was terrible. Of course there wasn't much acting, you could prob fit the dialog on 2 pages.

The critics are way out of touch anyway. Movies they consider to be good are usually boring(*and usually pretentious) garbage that nobody wants to see. This movie already has my money eventually simply because it has Dark Charlize.

I previewed this film on thursday at work (i'm a projectionist) and I didn't think it was very good. I was getting paid to watch a movie and I was GLAD it was short.

But this week we get Narnia and next week is Kong! booyah!

Million
12-03-2005, 11:11 AM
I have a good feeling Kong is going to bomb horribly. I heard from cnn that the movie is over 3 hours long....that in itself already puts me off. I loved that 3rd Lord of the Rings movie, and even there, I kept wondering after awhile..does this movie go on...forever? It's not a good thing when even though a movie is good overall...you begin checking your watch or cell.phone for the time...wondering when the hell is this going to end. Besides, the concept of King Kong just never seemed that interesting to me. The big deal was when he climbed the skyscraper and swatted helicopters away like flies...that was pretty much it.

*sidenote--my sweetie, Soledad O'Brien(hottest newsanchor ever) agrees with me. She was also immediately put off by it being over 3 hours.(*eh, perhaps it won't bomb "horribly", but I doubt it will do well if most people realize they're going to be sitting in the theatre for over 3 hours)

Dark Charlize's AF outfits should be skimpier though. The original character was practically naked in every episode.

12-03-2005, 11:13 AM
I didn't have a lot of hope for Aeon considering it wasn't previewed to the critics, which usually means they don't want reviews out before the movie, which usually means the movie SUCKS.

Glad to hear that is not the case.

(I still am not going to go see it)

I really thought this movie was going to be complete shit, I was put off by the preview's corny lines and the fact that it is an MTV film (although that goes without saying since it is coming from the cartoon)

just came back from it...it was alright, had bad scenes....but I found that it picked up nicely towards the end. still, a lot of people couldnt resist laughing at some of its cheesyness. I guess that made it fun cheese.

12-04-2005, 03:45 PM
I haven't seen the movie yet, I was supposed to see it Friday but my friend flaked on me(he always flakes on me when it comes to seeing movies). Few things though -

Couldn't the actor who played Trevor Goodchild of dyed his hair blonde? What's the big freaking deal just dye your hair or put on a wig yeash...

I liked the cartoon better before it had dialogue when it was on Liquid Television. There was also a lot more violence and sex before they started talking too.

Didn't make sense without dialog, doesn't make sense with dialog, the Herotus File book doesn't make a lot of sense... so the movie makes sense I gather from the previews and what people are saying? That's one of the reasons I feel Aeon Flux shouldn't be made into a movie in the first place. Well, not a Hollywood one that makes sense anyway, it's just wrong. Now if they made the film weird like "I Heart Huccabees" or "Being John Malkovich" or "Adaptation" or even the recent "Stay" or "Run Lola Run" or heck, the Japanese "Dead or Alive" movie trilogy or something like that that was just plain bizarre and made you think they might have something with an Aeon Flux movie but in the minds of Hollywood exectuives "OH NOOS TEH PEEPLE HOO WAANT TWO SAE CHARLIZE THERON KEEL PEOPLE DOONT WAANT TWO UZE TEREH BRANES OH NOOOS..."

But I haven't seen this movie myself, thinking outloud I guess... I'll see it tomorrow or Tuesday if my friend doesn't flake out on me again.

I went to it thinking it would be complete shit like the rest and was pleasently surprised. I didn't think it would be that good and while some moments were crap there were a few bright spots.

I think a lot critics might be upset because the studio didn't allow for review screenings of the film, but if they did I think it would have been a sort of Thumbs up and Thumbs down reaction across the board.

Damn I hope this turns out to be as good as the first two (especially the second one). The teaser looks pimp (shit with Jean Grey especially) and I think the Kelsey Grammar as the Beast was a good call.

P.S. The Fastball special was sweet.

Colossus is also much bigger then the way they portrayed him in the movie. Liberties have to be taken and I would much rather have an actor who looks bad ass like the guy they got playing Juggs.

If they stayed true to the character then he would be entirely CG which would probably not have worked.

Well at least whites aren't as racist (as individuals) but you'd be hard pressed to find an non-Americanized adult Indian who isn't racist.

At least Caribbean/West Indians are the exact opposite of East Indians. (In fact being a Jamaican you're pretty much part Indian/Black by default, mmm <3 mixing. :razzy:)

I don't know what you're talking about, juggs looks alright. Aside from not being 8 feet tall, (which if they tried to do, would probably really look stupid) he looks good. You can tell they did a bit of editing to make him as big as he is, but they did a good job with it. The helmet looks kind gay, but if they went true to the comic book and put one of those bike racer helmets on him imagine how retarded it would look. Some things you just can't translate over perfectly and you got to do the best you can....and for all 3 movies the xmen movies have been doing the best job.

That's why no comic book movie will ever live up to what people "want"

Hulk and Fantastic four had to do 1 character right.....the xmen movies have to do over a dozen. They can't do everything perfect, plus they've always been going for a more realistic look....which a 8 foot giant wouldn't be. You should start trying to see the movies and the comic as two different entities. Plus they probably spent all their budget making beast look right.

Regarding the racism:

Yes, sad to confirm it, but Indian people are some of the most racist motherfuckers alive. Not the mention the intense elitism attitude that country seems to hold.

As a teen I spend two years in India. One of my most profound memories was when there was a group of German teenagers causing trouble in a temple, where I was as well. The police booked me, and claimed I was the instigator of the trouble. I was mad upset about this, since I went to the temple to do a traditional offering. India is fucking amazing as a country, there are things there that you will not ever see anywhere else, and I feel blessed for the experience. The attitude of the people can be spiteful, and takes a lot of India's charm away.

Edit: Bollywood movies are mad, the music helps me meditate.

Word is they're trying to kill off a bunch of main characters for no reason. When X closed his eyes at the end of the treaser I guess that's him dying.

And Juggernaut looks like he accidentally wandered out of the set of the Mortal Kombat TV series.

AND DAMN RIGHT DGP, Beast ftw~


WTF are you getting this twice the size of Hulk bullshit? I hope you aren't thinking of how Juggernaut was drawn in those damn Capcom games, because his size is WAY OFF.:tdown:

Good thing is, caste system was more our parents era- Now the 2nd/3rd generation indians are more likely to marry outside their own caste. Hell, i've seen alot of mixed-race marriages in the last 5-10 years. 20 years ago that would be unheard of.

Looks like this one isn't skimping on tha action like tha previous 2, which is nice. I swear if Bryan Singer wasn't such a *** those movies would've had more superhero battles and less bullshit talking and touchy feely dialogue. Sam Raimi gets it, why the fuck doesn't he? Admittedly Brett Ratner is a mook, but atleast there will be some guaranteed nonstop asskicking and explosions if he's at tha helm (which is what this movie so desparately needs in order to make up for tha 2 previous films).

Beast looks badass.

Juggernaut looks whack, but whatever.

And it looks like they have no plans of having Iceman going into his solid ice form. That's about the only thing that would've made him interesting seeing as how the movies' version of him is so lame. Way to completely screw up my favorite X-Man, Singer.

The series dying and the movie franchise dying for good are two different things (like the 90s Batman series and Batman Begins).

I'm basing this off of negative feedback from an early screenplay of X3.. the final product will probably be different from the screenplay people have read, but the question is how different?..

PS. An Oscar winner will find work in Hollywood. I dunno what Halle's career has to do with anything though.

Juggernaut was okay but I still think they should have gone all CG with him to really show off his true size. But I'm pretty hyped about that supposed Juggernaut Vs. Colossus battle.

You are so goddamn fucking stupid that it actually causes me physical pain. I got a fucking ulcer reading your post.

Any given Spider-Man movie had more "touchy feely dialogue" than both of the X-Men movies combined. I mean, if you have to hate then hate, but comparing it to Spider-Man is just fucking daft.

Anyone who hated X2 (or even X-Men, which was the first well done comic book movie since Tim Burton's first Batman) is a fucking dingus. Compared to bombs like Fantastic Four, I thank God everyday that they managed to pull off the X-Men movies not only successfully, but WELL.

They did put Professor X in MVC. He was Onslaught afterall, final boss status and everything :wgrin:

Since they merged all of the threads this is left over from the Aeon Flux thread, I guess. Finally saw the movie, I liked it, it's not the best as far as an interpretation of the series but a lot of the things in the series are quite bizarre, not sure everything would work in a film. It was asked what where the differences between the cartoon and the film. Suffice to say everything below this point will be spoilers...

AEON FLUX SPOILERS!


In the cartoon and the movie it held true that Trevor Goodchild and Aeon Flux where lovers at least at one point in time. In the cartoon their relationship was kind of, messed up. Trevor would try to do something to either gain more power or satisfy his sick and twisted urges of the week, Aeon would come in and mess it up. At certain points the two had oppurtunities to kill each other but didn't, yet sometimes trying to murder the other person was attempted. That's the relationship in a nutshell. Wasn't really like that in the movie. Aeon tryed to kill him, found out she couldn't because of their shared past and the two wound up together again as lovers.

Both of the characters in the movie were.... um, nicer. Animated Aeon Flux was, well, not really a good person, she just did whatever she wanted in the cartoon, most of the time she was a straight up bitch. Trevor Goodchild was portrayed as a good guy in the movie with his movie-only brother Orin Goodchild being the villain. Trevor in the cartoon was never good. Only on the occasions where he neglected to kill Aeon, and thats about it.

In the cartoon there where two seperate cities that where split at one point like The Berlin Wall. The people where Trevor Goodchild was from with the Breens was kind of like for the Haves, the side where the Monicans where from was for the Have Nots. It was difficult to cross the border and get to Trevor Goodchild's side, you had to evade a series of traps and a failed attempt could mean your death or the loss of limbs. Animated Aeon would cross the boarder regularly because she had mad skills of course. The entire movie took place on the Breen side, there was no other city. On the other side of the wall was nature, forest, and I imagine the rest of the world. But in the movie there was a series of traps for you to get into Trevor Goodchild's main building, kind of like the traps that seperated the two cities in the cartoon.

There was a revolutionary movement from the Monicans in the cartoon too, however for the most part Aeon Flux did whatever the hell she wanted to instead of taking orders like the flick.

In both, Aeon Flux was cloned, many times. In the movie cloning meant you died, they implanted your DNA into a woman who became pregnant and you were born again. In the cartoon she was pretty much just cloned, like making an exact copy of herself. Of course in some scenarios it might work out the movie way, with Trevor cloning himself(reverting to baby, growing up again) various times for an extended period like he did in the movie and the two meeting each other agian and again and again for hundreds of years but there was a specific episode in the cartoon where she cloned herself, the original died and the clone went on and the series continued. So clones in Aeon Flux land are really good copies.

The cartoon really had bizarre creatures, and/or Aliens with very weird gifts. Movie really didn't have anything like that.

Um, and, in the last episode some kid with bizarre powers create a world for Aeon Flux where she was his Soccer Mom... so she sort of got a happy ending? In the movie she got to be with a good Trevor Goodchild, so she got a much happier ending....

There where a couple of times in the cartoon (the first silent one was a biggy) where it seemed Aeon had a foot fetish, or enjoyed having her.... feet licked... or liking feet... closest the movie got to something like this was when Aeon's friend who had her feet swapped for hands asked if Aeon wanted to do the same thing and she just said she liked her boots.

Most of the above is dealing with the cartoons that have dialog. The ones without dialog make no freaking sense whatsoever. Not that the ones with dialog made perfect sense either. Again, in the first Aeon Flux cartoon, the silent one, when Aeon died she awoke on some strange river raft with some guy licking her feet (course she just stepped on a nail and fell off of a building) and was.. getting off from it, nothing about clones here, she died in all of the silent ones two but kept coming back(assuming the silent ones where even related to each other and not all stand alone entries....) I still like the silent ones better than the episodes with dialog and the movie, the silent ones had way more violence and sex than both. But all in all the three of them are good IMHO, Aeon Flux is a pretty good franchise I think all around.

I still have the Aeon Flux Herodotus File, guess I'll give that book a read again since it reveals lots of stuff not stated in the cartoon, but in the very strange Aeon Flux style...

I saw earlier in the thread people mentioned a Fastball Special in the X3 teaser....where?! I looked a few times and had a hard time finding any actual action in any of the spots.

I finally saw the Boondock Saints yesterday night, as well as watching Kiss Kiss BANG BANG.

Saints was cool, a pretty entertaining flick. They should do a sequel where they go to New York, that would be crazy.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was a great movie. The story was kinda meaningless, its the dialogue that delivers. So random, its great!!!!!

Syriana was really good. It was pretty complicated and there so many characters though, so it was easy to get lost watching it. Everything else about it was good though.
Thanks dude. I like complicated political thrillers so I'm definitely interested in this. Too bad it won't show up in the UK until March..

Anyway, new trailer!

V For Vendetta

Looks good, even though the movie's script reportedly screws up a few key points from the graphic novel.

back from the dead!

i revived this thread because i felt what i wanted to do did not belong in the more active dvd thread. so, i've decided to compile a list of my top 100 films, based on films i've seen thus far in my life. this will not be anything more than my opinion of what i feel are the best films. i'm not trying to spark debate, though i'm sure i'll get a whole string of people on here saying 'that movie sucks' or 'you know whats so much better?' or 'you don't know shit about movies' - however, i thought it would be a great test of my ability to enact such a daunting task. i plan on giving short reasonings for each film. anyways, anyone else think they are up to the task? calling out the movie snobs and know it alls...

the only thing that bothers me about the xmen movie is the casting for magneto...

seriously, most of the othe characters have good casting, to excellent casting, to perfection...

but magneto??? it really irks me cause mag is one of my fav villians of all time and they make him out to be some old dude who needs a walking cane, fucking dumb...and the age thing, from the comics i get the impression that hes in his early 50s? in the movie he LOOKS like he is 70...MUCH MUCH older looking than xavier, and they are supposed to be around the same age...

i cant get over this, both times i watched the first one and second movie...other than that the movies were awsome...

ok, so here's my formula for breaking down my list. i have an actual equation for it. i'm making a database of all the potential movies, basically anything i rate 3-5 stars on netflix. each movie will have 3 different ratings. these ratings will be of varying values based on importance and their sum total will place the movie in the list. the three criteria are quality(1-5), importance(1-4), enjoyment(1-5) and my personnal rating(1-10). quality is the overall quality of the film from a movie snob pov, like cinematography, directing, editing, deepness of story, etc. importance is the film's overall importance to the whole of cinema. enjoyment is how much excitement/horor/etc i got from the film. personnal rating is how i feel about the film. so here's an example:

the burbs
quality: 2
importance: 1
enjoyment: 5
personnal rating: 8

so it has an overall rating of 16 out of a possible 24(66%). i don't think any movie will score a perfect 24, so the burbs will make my list. after all is said and done, i still make the final desicion on placement in the list regardless of final score. this will all just be a way to help me make an initial placement of movies. once i have my database full of the scores, they will be ordered in a report by final score, then personnal rating, then enjoyment, quality then importance and finally if there is still movies tied, by title. its a long proccess and very anal, but it will help me decide in the future what movies to add to the list. plus, i'm an anal geek when it comes to this stuff.

yes it was. david strathairn was amazing as murrow. interesting sidenote, his brother is an english teacher at my former middle school.

edit: i'd like to add, i saw a history of violence last night. i liked it alot, but i felt it sort of rushed through the story. if it had been like 2 hours instead of 90 minutes, i think it could have been even better.

you need to see some foreign films
i'm quite aware - i cut my teeth on american cinema, so i know my classics real well, and there are a few foriegn films on there. i doubt highly my top 10 will change. i have ikiru at my house right now from netflix and i have some others coming, but i'm really trying to finish my study of classic american cinema.

maybe you can suggest some more, here is what i have on my netflix list:

seven samurai
sanjuro
rashomon
ran
yojimbo
dreams
seventh seal
fannie and alexander
the virgin spring
old boy
amores perros
city of lost children
ichi the killer
carandiru
red
white blue
metropolis
m
battel royale

au revoir les enfents
m hulot's holiday
wings of desire
red beard
persona
8 1/2
la dolce vita
through a glass darkly
winter light


i would save dreams and ran till later, and you should watch yojimbo before sanjuro as the latter is the sequel to the former

tibertron can pipe in with more...

Just for Best Supporting Actor..

What's really cool is you can download the screenplay from the official site (recommended because it's full of wordy economics/civics subject matter)

i've seen alot of those...

edit: truth be told, i'm a huge fan of american cinema made in the 60's and 70's...of all the cinmea i've seen, this most appeals to me...
