Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

You're dissing Sam Elliott?

That was Sam Elliott??? When was that taken? Maybe he looked so different because he was all wet, but I didn't recognize him.

(Although I was thinking to myself "What an awful moustache! The only guy who can wear a moustache like that and pull it off is Sam Elliott." Yes, perhaps my mind was trying to tell me something....)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dear Mr. Elliott,

Please stop taking showers and baths or swimming. Sean says it doesn't suit you. Or investigate waxing -- that seems to work for him.

Thank you,
A Concerned Fan.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Visually, I think the focus on the industrial style dates it a bit, but I imagine it's sort of an ur-text for many latter-day gothy types.

Friends don't let friends dress like The Crow.

In other news, there is a God!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Wuh? Charlize Theron is going to be Aeon Flux?

interesting news for ita

Aeon Flux is set 1,000 years in the future, when disease has wiped out most of humanity. The title character is a secret agent with unclear motives. The animated version of the character could peform incredible acrobatics, so Theron is undergoing extensive physical training. "I'm doing four to five hours a day of gymnastics and capoeira [a Brazilian martial art], things like that," she said.

and good news for me

Theron, who wears short black hair for the movie, added that she welcomed the chance to shed her traditional blonde-bombshell look. "It's a tool," she said. "It's something that really helps me, so it's as important for me [as it is] to do research. If I feel that I need to physically go through a transformation to play a character, it's something that helps me, so why wouldn't I do it? And it's always a great excuse to cut your hair off and change it. If it doesn't look good, you can always say, 'Well, it's for a part.'"

Fuck. More capoeira. Why do they torture me so? Is it the new hip chick art?

move out and draw fire

Is it the new hip chick art?

Probably. But it also most closely captures the movement of the cartoon.

Hopefully the movie will be somewhat more coherent.

More than wu-shu? That was my first thought.

Capoeira's never going to get any cred if they keep doing this to it.

Where art thou, Mark Dacascos? He knows a bit of capoeira.
