Skye, thanks. That is hilarious. It's true I did bring Mark on board through the back door while no one was looking. Truth is, at the time, I had only a vague idea of what we were getting ourselves into...

But I can't think of anyone else who could have written a seduction scene like:
Sybil: We knooow what we're talking about, what we're thinking and what we are doing!
Trevor: Well, "moderation in all things", you know.
Sybil: Moderation is not abstinence. Moderation necessarily connotes USE.
Trevor: Use...?!
Sybil: So uuuse me, Trevor. You must.
Trevor: I've no choice.
Sybil: Lest you abandon your argument.
Trevor: Abandon - all argument?

And here's some of Eric Singer's work on the Purge which I felt sorry to have to cut for length:

Hostess Contessa: (pointing to the guns) "Nothing like a little judicious levity" - I always say....
Trevor: Welcome. Welcome all over again.
Aeon: What is this? What's going on?
Trevor: Ask yourself the questions: can you give yourself your own evil and your own good? Can you hang your own will over yourself as law. Can you be your own judge and avenger of your law?
Hostess Contessa: You think you think; therefore you think you are... But do you really know? Are you really sure?
Aeon: Don't make the mistake of fencing with me... I know who I am and what I'm still capable of.
Trevor: Yes, you have a very black mind indeed... You and your Comrades nearly ruined everything. But now that I have you in my custody, I may do with you what I please.
Aeon: I thought you already had...
Trevor: I had, I have, I will, I did. Don't I? Isn't that right, Comrade Judy?

In any case, the word is getting out. (I know, shameless of me- but there is the upside):

dvd-dweeb...?!! OK, that's stooping a bit.
Sorry, it's been a strange couple of weeks.
As Josh said:
MTV to re-release the entire series on DVD, +game, comic

(To think I used to really like the sound of her name...)

Oh yeah...
I'm still doing a ton of press. I'm just starting to talk to foreign outlets. To start with this week, a Mexican, a French, 3 Australian, 2 Dutch and 3 Korean outlets. The reporters have been told to focus their questions on the DVD release of the original series rather than the movie. In the end, they do ask about the movie, which they mostly haven't seen, but they've apparently read the reviews...

Peter, do you know how the reception of the DVD/movie is doing in England? I understand it got released a little later than we did here.

I'm glad people are noticing that Aeon really is the great series they remember, despite any nostalgia.

I'm also glad that I didn't offend anyone with my... errr "interpretation" of how Mark got on the show. It really would have been a lesser show without the odd personalities of everyone involved, and watching the commentaries certainly made that clear.

That extended scene would have been awesome - I think it's a shame so many good ideas got nixed by MTV. The unusual ways in which stories became images became the show really are part of what made the show great.

One more great commentary moment:
(On screen, "You are three increments from hooligan status!")
Someone (can't remember who): "Hooligan status!"
Everyone: *cracks up for the rest of the scene*

I. Lee,
To answer your question regarding a further season of AF for TV. I wouldn't want to do it if it's under the same conditions as the previous productions. Working in TV is frustrating because of limited budgets, schedules and censorship.
I am thinking of a direct to video AF animated feature, which we'd planned to make for release with the movie. It would need to be at least 60 minutes, as the complaint about the Dark Fury dvd was that it was too short.

That would be dreamy.

Anthony Hudson (fabhappyfruit), Thursday, 29 December 2005 03:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Wow! Would it be one long hour episode? Sounds dreamy is right! I would love to see that!
