12/2    Recent movies that have not been screened early for crititcs (like
        Aeon Flux):
        http://www.rottentomatoes.com/news/comments/?entryid=267200
        5%  -- In the Mix (2005)
        8%  -- The Fog (2005)
        24% -- Cry_Wolf (2005)
        0%  -- King's Ransom (2005)
        14% -- Cursed (2005)
        \_ You're saying that if their scared to show it early to critics,
           it probably blows?
           \_ That and apparently they're already selling off the props:
              http://premiereprops.com/store/index.php?cPath=40
        \_ I saw the preview for this, and there's a part where the 2
           assasins are attacking someplace, jumping around, etc.  Anyway,
           there's some killer grass that she almost lands on. The
           other assasin then says something like, "Keep off the grass."
           WTF? Who decides to put anachronistic groaners like that in?
           Does someone think that's funny or cool?
           \_ didn't the star of aeon flux say "i will not wear skimpy
              outfits"?
              \_ Yes.  Basically she said she's too important to wear the
                 kinda of outfits the original character wore and screw you
                 kind of outfits the original character wore and screw you
                 fans who expect the movie to be anything like the source.
                 \_ I didn't think she had much left to hide after _2 Days in
                    the Valley_.
                    \_ The playboy spread in '99 hid even less.
        \_ And it's currently at: 11%

1/26    Wozniak says the the Steve Jobs movie clip is historically inaccurate,
        that Jobs was not so much a visionaire that Jobs claimed to be, as Jobs
        was just looking to make a few quick bucks. Why should we trust
        Woz's words over Jobs'?
        \_ Seriously? Read both the Steve Jobs biography and Woz's autobiography.
           Nobody contests that Jobs was a scumbag. Also: the lounge in Soda Hall.

12/6    Lesson learned: don't talk about Monty Python on a date. Women just
        don't seem to get it.
        \_ You are dating the wrong women (for you) then. My sister-in-law
           loves it and yet I don't find it all that funny. It's not a
           gender thing.
           \_ is she a nerd? does she laugh funny? is she actually decent looking?

10/17   Cloud Atlas Shrugged.
        \_ How is this movie? Did you see it?
           \_ Cloud Atlas is a movie. Atlas Shrugged is a movie.
              Cloud Atlas Shrugged is a made-up name.
              \_ How was Cloud Atlas?

Forum All we can say at this point is that "Flux" tells the tale of a futuristi c assassin who lands herself in a world of trouble. We'd love to tell yo u what the critics thought of this one, but we can't, because they haven 't seen it. So, dear and loyal readers of Critical Consensus, I ask that you guess what the Tomatometer will be. You won't win anything, other t han mad props and respect from us here at Rotten Tomatoes. CrazyGhost78 on Dec 01 2005, 05:56 PM writes : I think Charlize Theron will keep it higher than Cry_Wolf, but not by muc h From the looks of it, Theron is the only reason to see this movie. And McDormand, you were in Fargo for god's sake, why would you need to ma ke this pile of trash? stankfly on Dec 01 2005, 07:42 PM writes: 34% Users I know it's high. Let's face it--There will always be the "faithful" geek s that flock to see this trash. stankfly on Dec 01 2005, 07:45 PM writes: 06% critics I am pretty sure that the critics will trash this film. They absolutely h ate it when the studios don't allow screenings. Even if it's watchable, they'll still tear it apart for not releasing a screen. HoneycombSAFARI on Dec 01 2005, 11:01 PM wri tes: im gonna go with 57% because it looks mildly original and with so much ta lent involved to bring to life such rich source material, they cant go t o wrong. Galaxyfilms22 on Dec 02 2005, 12:49 AM write s: Just saw the movie a few hours ago. And the action is very well done but the story line was lacking big and I could hardly sit through it. The go od thing about it was that it was only about 1hr and half. Too many plot holes and not a very orginal story behind it. And I would say that the critics wont like it much either so p robably around 10% maybe. jose_slice on Dec 02 2005, 07:17 AM writes: 23% Critics Comics to movie adaptations with a female lead have seemingly all done po orly (Electra, Catwoman).
