Quotes from The Maxx (animated) by Sam Kieth that I couldn’t find elsewhere on the web:
—
Julie: “Right now, you wait.”
—
Sara: (reading poster) “And the day came, when the risk to remain closed in a bud, became more painful, than the risk it took to blossom.”
“A process at the interface of the medical discipline of anatomy and modern polymer chemistry, Plastination makes it possible to preserve individual tissues and organs that have been removed from the body of the deceased as well as the entire body itself”
The Bodyworlds exhibit was unreal, spectacular!
Points of Interest:
A very sterile installation, all of the souls seem to have long since departed. Logically, if there were to be ghosties, it would center around an area or individual, instead of the body left behind.
Which raises another point, made more readily apparent by this exhibit, that the spark that makes you, you, lies in the energy of the being. How the skin hangs on our bones, how it’s weathered, how we decorate it, the tension in one’s muscles that shape the flesh – the exact same thing that’s missing from CGI – that which departs when we do.
We saw it in Dallas, thanks to Angel of Malevolence! :D Be sure to listen to her station, Redemption Radio where she serves up metal just for you, Ren, for yooou.
No, this is not in reference to the Mooninite hubbub. What I want to know is who these two are indulging in order to continue flinging their crap onto our TV screens?!
Tom Goes to the Mayor is the worst and I assume it’s on hiatus for a reason. Now we must face their hideous visages without the crappy Photoshop filter effects on their latest turd, premiering on Adult Swim next weekend?!
Sometimes it’s insulting, what execs think we will watch. 12oz Mouse, Squidbillies and other sucky shows littering the line-up, you are included in the mediocrity that sends me running to other channels, sitcom reruns even!
Do you know who this woman is?
Since the early days of the internet *shakes cane* I have searched for a decent image of the face behind the voice of my favorite cartoon character ever…
Denise Poirier, voice of Aeon Flux! Aeon Flux has the most expressive and melodious voice of any female cartoon character – low, sultry, antagonistic. Denise nailed this character and I was pleasantly surprised to see a visage as lovely as her voice. :)
The monosyllabic grunts, sighs and other Aeon sounds were actually done by Drew Neumann’s (the soundtrack creator’s) wife. Might I recommend that Drew Neumann’s EyeSpy Ears Only: Confidential while I’m at it? I bought this some time back and it’s actually the soundtrack to the Aeon Flux cartoons, just with no specific reference to it for legal reasons. It’s a hypnotizing listen.
Might I add that I am especially fascinated with creator of the Aeon Flux series, Peter Chung. He is able to imply incredible intricacy with the simplest of lines, his unusual perspectives and mannerist style proportions (elongated limbs and spindly creatures) – you know when you are watching something that is his. I love it.
It seems that little is known about the inner-workings of the man. Here’s what I found interesting:

WHY isn’t this show available on DVD?
There’s always hope – they are re-airing them on NickToons, so that’s a good sign.
I’m gonna go see what’s doin’ at the Angry Beavers’ page on the Nick website.
