Æon Flux: not a very good movie (but kind of hot)

[bantha_fodder]

I don't mean to worry anyone, but I just saw Æon Flux and I had a hilariously awesome time. Such an awful movie. It had huge plot holes and terrible leaps in logic and plot development (and character development), as well as some really bad acting and it clearly made no sense and was just such awful tripe. And also the clothes were. Well. I think the Goodchild Empire failed mostly because they didn't notice that all the rebels wore black leather/pvc and such, and all the non-rebels wore bright colours. But Martin Csokas as Trevor Goodchild was hot (hello, he was a scientist and all scruffy and huh), and I love Jonny Lee Miller, and I'm not a huge fan of Charlize Theron but I kind of liked her because she was going out with Stuart Townsend.

I should explain Stuart Townsend. He would have made the worst Aragorn ever, so I'm glad he was fired, but I love Stuart Townsend. In Queen of the Damned, and in LXG, he is perfect as a sort of waif with power kind of figure, and Stuart himself is (according to gossip, obviously) a bit of a drama queen, and I think he's hilarious. So he and Charlize were a thing, and then they broke up and I was very sad.

And this review makes no sense! But the Æon/Trevor thing was hot, especially because she tried to kill him, and then he just appeared as the wall disappeared, and he left her a message in water! And spoke into her brain! And then they had sex and then she asphixiated him (almost)! And then she was helping him along, and he was wounded and they were in black and holding hands and running and I have this thing, right. A kink. For this sort of thing. Yes..

Anyway. The movie sucked, but it was a fun way to spend a Saturday night, so.

Okay, also, hello, HANDS GRAFTED ONTO LEGS EW YUCK.

You will notice that there are no comments about the Urban Dystopia as demonstrated in this movie. That's because it was pretty boring, and pretty bog standard, to be honest.

Huh. I didn't know they'd broken up. Huh.

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

Very recent - and I've just googled, and I can't find anything more recent than a denial from her publicist two weeks ago. Hmm.

Why do I care so much about celebrities? WHY?

ROTFL! It's a sickness, I tell you!! ;)

OOOOOH IT LOOKED SO BAD.

But Stuart Townsend is the love of my liiiiife. He was so beautiful in Queen of the Damned, and then, oh my god, did you see Trapped? Charlize Theron and Dakota Fanning and Kevin Bacon were in that with him and it was SO GOOD HEBLAHHHH. :D

WAS IT BETTER OR WORSE THAN ULTRAVIOLET OMG?

[rawles.livejournal.com]

I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT ULTRAVIOLET WAS WAY WORSE. BUT AEON FLUX HAD THE GIANT TOILET OF SURVEILLANCE THAT AEON HAD TO FLUSH SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S NO SLOUCH IN THE COMPETITION.

YOU COULD HAVE COME WITH LAST NIGHT, IF YOU HADN'T BEEN PLAYING XBOX AND TRYING TO PICK UP GIRLS.

[utopos.livejournal.com]

Who's trying?

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

OMG WAIT STOP WAIT.

Were you successful?

[theblackdoll.livejournal.com]

I really want to see that movie cause even though it is supposed to be teh suck it has awesome visuals. I also want to see the cartoon because a) it's supposedly creepy as hell and b) Aeon/Trevor is best ever.

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

HOT HOT HOT.

THAT'S THE WORD ON THE STREET, YO.

I laugh a lot and pretty much agree. Except I think Trevor getting shot all the time is funny, and also I just think it's funny that he's called Trevor. Yeah, Aeon and Oren and Claudius and TREVOR. Trev's just gunna go down the shops for some chips, anyone want anything? (Also, I had Magical Trevor on repeat in my head.)

the Goodchild Empire failed mostly because they didn't notice that all the rebels wore black leather/pvc -- AHAHAHA YES. When Aeon has her Big Secret Tongue-lashing Rendezvous and shows up in her veil and indecently-split skirt, I was all, "HELLO Mr Policeman, I'm not a rebel!" Honestly.

Also, yeah, I have a soft spot for Stuart Townsend. He's trashily gorgeous.

OMG. I got laughed at because I was all, "HIS NAME IS TREVOR" and I couldn't stop laughing.
