featherynscaleIt's always a good morning when the headlines include the phrase Galactic Spaceport, isn't it?
Also, we spent some time at EHQ last night watching the old Aeon Flux cartoons. I now understand why I continually have dreams about reaching into my skin and pulling out gadgets, or putting them in. Too much time watching Aeon Flux in college, apparently, since in virtually every short there is some moment at which one of the characters does this. Which is good. For a moment there, I thought it was just the way I was. Much easier to blame the media, no? Watching the cartoons again also mitigated some of my major criticisms of the film (which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
triadruid and I saw and were mildly disappointed in on Sunday). Not only is Martin Csokas not creepy enough to be Trevor Goodchild, but also no person alive on this earth could be creepy enough to be Trevor Goodchild, so I think that's okay. Clearly, the filmmakers were up against impossible odds.
What doesn't kill us makes us stranger...

for what it's worth

He *always* has the answer, he's enver at a loss for words, and his voice is distinctively calming and confident. Finding someone who can match him both for physical creepiness and vocal chutzpah is probably the root of the problem.
