Goldsmith's Two Cents - Æon Flux
Æon Flux (2005)I think I was a little too young to fully appreciate the original Æon Flux series when it first aired, but I always watched it when it came on. I never totally understood the story line, but somehow it was always interesting enough to keep me from changing the channel. I liked the cartoon because of how visually interesting, imaginative, and intense it was. I didn't think the major motion picture version had a chance of doing the original justice. I was wrong.
Æon Flux totally owns. The visuals are awesome, the story great, and Æon kicks a dictator-clone's (clone-dictator's?) ass. In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's a better movie than The Matrix. It's like the Matrix, but pretty. Plus there's no Æon Flux 2 to blow it. Yet.

Holy shit! Goldsmith in against the grain shocker!
Listen bro. I watched the Matrix with you a billion times, but I don't if even you can convince me to watch the Flux.
Maybe for Sick Boy.
Maybe.
Have I ever led you astray?
Two Words: Vincent Gallo (oh slam!)
One Other Word: Boondoggle
What?! I never told you that Vincent Gallo did anything but make me uncomfortable, and you know damn well that boondoggle is the best Jewish craft in the world.
I watched said film last night... and I have no recollection of this "story" you speak of.
Not to say it was bad... but better than the Matrix? I don't know.
But yes... it is yet another appearence of the original Mr. Angelina Jolie.
Wait... on further reflection. I do know...
It was NOT better than the Matrix. You're letting your memories of Reloaded and Revolutions cloud your judgement. Don't worry, I think you might be able to get those memories removed.
