post 199. aeon flux.

bought aeon flux on dvd and realized what the big problem with last year's movie was: it wasn't funny. in the show, there are moments when aeon and trevor act like foppy idiots, injecting an otherwise outlandish show with a nice touch of realism. in the film, trevor and aeon act like heroic cardboard cut-outs, manequins for the costume designer. and no disrespect, but seriously: if there was one part i could have played -- tall and skinny blonde -- it's trevor goodchild. marton csokas? hey, loved you in the bourne supremacy and lord of the rings. but that's just not what trevor's supposed to look like.

anyway, i'm a big fan of the animated shorts ("tide" makes me giddy) and the "third" season -- the first of the half-hour episodes -- but i find the shoddy, seemingly lazy animation of the final season a distraction that takes away from the stories.
