Electoral Math
Reality-BasedTM Political Numbers from Nicholas Beaudrot
Ouch. Just. Ouch. | Home | Brilliance
While the rest of the world is poring over the religio-political implications of the first installment in the mega-franchise Chronicles of Narnia, I would like to point out that the the highly underrated Aeon Flux is still in theaters.
Folks who are old enough to remember when MTV showed music videos will recall one of their first forays into non-music content, Liquid Television, a set of short cartoons that spawned the miniseries Aeon Flux. It's a modestly good dystopian future, with interesting ethical questions left for the audience, some quality action visuals, and, well, Charlize Theron is very attractive. I didn't quite have as much of an emotional stake in the movie as I wanted, but other than that the movie did its job.
Flux is worth seeing in theaters, though maybe for a matinee showing rather than paying for full-price evening tickets.
