Who remembers "Aeon Flux"?


I just came into possession of several episodes of this show...it's held up amazingly well. Still fucking weird as hell. :D

(I swear I can't think of a single other thing from Liquid Television besides Beavis and Butthead and Aeon Flux...)

9. If you like Peter Chung's work
be sure to check out his recent series "Reign". It's as fabulously weird as Aeon Flux.

2. They are making an "Aeon Flux" movie
There was a small article in the newspaper a week or two ago where they reported that Charlize Theron was injured during the filming, and that they had to halt production while she recovers.

Do you remember "The Maxx" from Liquid Television?

16. They really should have gotten someone else to play the part.
I really can't see Charlize Theron playing her.

4. Of course.
Trevor Goodchild was so deliciously morally ambiguous.

There was also that "head" one, but I don't remember what the actual title was.

18. I loved Stick Figure Theater!
Were the Billy and Bobby cartoons part of Liquid Television, too?

Somewhere I have a tape filled with a Liquid Television marathon. Haven't watched it in a few years, though.

12. Greatest show. That and the Maxx!!!
I loved the freaky MTV animationed series. Can't believe they stopped em.

The majority of the generation that watches MTV now is just too stupid and shallow to comprehend such genius.

14. Dog Boy!
That was one we used to goof on!

And Winter Steel! Skanky chick. :scared:

Liquid Television was as weird as Hell, but addictive in this odd, surreal sense.
