I don't know if anyone here reads the Uncle Orson Reviews Everything columns on RhinoTimes.com or if it is faux pas to mention it on these forums before they get published on hatrack.com, but has anyone informed Mr. Card that the film Aeon Flux was not based on any video game (the very first of which was only just released concurrent to the film, I believe), but was, in fact, a somewhat subversive "Americanime" produced for MTV originally as shorts on the short-lived Liquid Television, and then for it's own short-lived series (all now available on DVD I think)?


Wow, I sure packed a whole lot into one sentence...

I presume the column has already seen print, but perhaps he can excise the incorrect section from column before it comes to hatrack.com, if he should so choose?

It was the weirdest friggin Anime I ever saw. I stayed up late to watch it a couple times when I was younger, screwy.

And I thought Wondershowzen was screwed up.


Actually, Wondershowzen is MUCH more screwed up than Aeon Flux, but they are in the same category.

Oh, I doubt you'll be the last person to start a thread on that topic.

Don't make him angry, Scott. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

I didn't see this, because it didn't look interesting, but two of my best friends walked out of it.

And they never walk out of a movie.

Nah-- it was Bixby, not Ferigno.

But when Bixby gets angry, Ferigno comes calling.

You know, Bill Bixby is such a Marvel Comics style of name. I'll bet Stan Lee wishes that he'd made it up.

Bixby is dead. Ergo, no Ferigno.

I swear, I think I'm spelling Ferigno wrong.

Is Bixby dead?

I expect that Ferigno is spelled "Ferigno", but I don't know for sure.

When I was in 2nd grade, my class wrote letters to Ferigno, and got signed glossy 8x10s in return. I had lobbied pretty hard for Tom Baker, I think, so I had little appreciation for my Ferigno pic.

Just because Bixby is dead doesn't mean the funny wasn't right on.

I don't know about Bill Bixby, but Mister Bixby's in my belly being dissolved by stomach acid.

If he ain't dead, he's darn close, and I don't envy him his remaining minutes.

Nope, never heard that one before! [Wink]

I have green eyes too which always exacerbated the problem. My first name is Paul which is apparently close enough to Bill that people I am merely acquainted with will call me Bill or Paul interchangeably (and maybe instinctually).

Family lore has it that we are actually remotely related to Bill (see, I can call him Bill, being related and all) down a different branch of the family tree, but I don't know how much of that is their desire to share in his reflected light.

But enough about me, let's talk about you! What do you think of me?

By the way Scott, it's not so unpleasant as you might imagine in your belly. The acid is quite squishy and makes a very comforting *sgush* sound when you squeeze it... and then it dissolves your hands so you can only make the noise twice at best [Wink]
