my latest craze...
Aeon Flux wa hen desu ne! Demo, hounto ni suki desu! (Aeon Flux is strange! But, I really love it!)
I'm referring to the animated series Aeon Flux. Well, more specifically, I received the DVD box set from Val for christmas. I've already watched it 4 times. I want to watch it again and again, thinking I've somehow missed a tiny sercret or hidden meaning the previous time. I don't know why I never bothered to watch it before, when it was actually airing on MTV. But, now that I have all the episodes (the mini-episodes, and the 30-minute shows from MTV), I regret missing it in the first place.
Val already watched the Aeon Flux movie. I haven't. I'm scared to. I love the series so much, and have read many reviews on the movie to know that they are dissimilar. And I think to make the movie without staying true to the series is completely wrong. I guess that's why I haven't gone to see it yet. Plus, Charlize Theron as Aeon just seems wrong to me.
What I do love from the series, is the complex love-hate relationship between Aeon and Trevor (no, not my brother). It's inspiring and strange at the same time, how these two opposites can get together, or even mesh. I don't think I can get the same feeling from watching the movie, but I heard of the different angle from the movie (where Aeon and Trevor were married initially and were continually cloned for years, but still harbor the love inside), and I think that works okay, but not nearly as interesting as the series.
Well...I guess that's all I can say about this for now. By the way, Happy Belated New Year.
Aeon - [singing to herself] Ready if I want it now, Danger Boy...
