Gone to the movies lately?

We watched the show too.

I can't wait to see Aeon Flux, but I sort of wish it were animated, like the original. They could have used the animation Linklater uses in "Waking Life", and the upcoming P.K. Dick adaptation, " A Scanner Darkly".

I agree with all that. Except it appears you were never put to the torture of the british TV show when you wanted to watch something else. The books were a bit dull for me when I was 10, though, too. I liked Mysteries. And I realized I didn't want to be a vet when I understood that I would then be seeing animals at their worst. Although the ideal of being a vet is tempting. I just wanted to be a rich actress so I could adopt and help all the animals. We do what we can. Lol.
I wish that, too, about the Flux. It's my FAVORITE. I'm glad all the animation ones have come onto DVD now. Even when I was little, I only liked cartoons (no Muppets. I hated Muppets. No live Sesame STreet. I used to watch Sesame Street and just wait for a cartoon. All Buggs Bunny and Scooby Doo)
But I have medium hopes for Aeon. The effects look pretty good, and I've already adjusted my psyche to accept something very independent of the animation.
Also, I don't know if I said this before, but I actually believe you are my real mom, and we were separated at birth... (don't be worried, this has been my fantasy since I was very small .)
