Yes, a doughfaced hollywood whore playing a cartoon character with an exceptionally beautiful, french-influenced countenance. Great job! Julie Drefuss would have been a far better choice. Now let's suffer through the rest of your "personal opinion" on the film.

Well, this explains a great deal about you. The Dark Tower series, like much of King's work, was a slapdash put-together job of boring pretension and borrowed imagery. Nothing more.

Having a show showcasing cool art is like having a career in music based on the ability to dance. Think Britney Spears. Other than that, I agree with your view, here. Aeon Flux was a disjointed mess that should never have been greenlit. If the graphic designers behind the show wanted to showcase their abilities, then they could have picked a decent storyline.

The movie will be typical Hollywood bullshit and only a few people will truly be interested in it, anyway. Think Catwoman.
