This one was such a fun read. I love how you took something as specific as Aeon Flux’s impossible hairstyle and turned it into a full commentary on adaptation, ego, and the strange art of translating animation to live action. The part about the Penrose Steps comparison made me laugh because it perfectly captures how absurd and fascinating that challenge must have been.
You have a gift for mixing deep film knowledge with humor that never feels forced. Even when the movie itself falls apart, you make the experience of reading about it feel worth it. Keep it up!
Thank you so much. Aeon Flux was such a fun, visceral, bizzarro show (My favorite episode was the one about angels who have killer ticks in their wings). I was really looking forward to this movie. The first trailer actually looked really promising. Sigh.
Oh well.
At least this movie helps me emphasize with fans of Avatar: the Last Air Bender.
Great (and hilarious) review as always! Do you think hair technology has advanced far enough that the impossible hairdo may be a reality in a potential remake?
Thanks so much, Emma. As for proper hair in a remake, the technology isn't there yet, but there are reasons to be optimistic. nstagram.com/p/CjkwF-gDGIW/?hl=en

This is one of the best breakdowns of how this movie was pumped out as it was. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0B1j1Ojl1Optmp5TcjFBel?si=zieY-oU6QxOo3ypMZxZsig
Excellent review! I adored this show as when I was a child, and the movie did not deliver on a single expectation. This was cathartic. 😊
