Shiny!

The first song in the trailer, the instrumental one, is by Rob Dougan; if you like, I can send it to you.

It's the so-called "Matrix theme." I have... um, five versions of it at last count. Three are his and two remixes. Thanks for the offer, tho'.

I hate it when they designate songs as "themes". "Ultra" by KMFDM is listed as the Ghost in the Shell theme everywhere, but dammit - GitS sucks ass, and that was one of my songs for my character Katrianna years before.

*shrug* It's how most people know the tune. Calling it "Clubbed to Death" (which is its official name) doesn't register in general.

I expect it's just a placeholder. They do that all the time with movies that aren't released yet. Not to mention, putting in Matrix music helps subconsciously (or consciously) direct the potential audience to some degree.
Mind you, as with Matrix choreography, Ultraviolent is feeding on the Underworld-style maneuvers with the vampy jump, land, stomp. I wanna see a whole bunch of people at least leap like that- some sort of choreography. You know, just work it into conversation.

Wasn't that also a Matrix move? Morpheus did it first, I think, and Underworld did it very well after that. You saw Aeon Flux, right? Does this seem to you like a competitor for that?

[mizarchivist]

Missed Aeon. We'll have to have a violent femme flick marathon to compare Trinity/Underworld's Selene/Aeon/Ultra and so on. Maybe even have the original La Femme Nakita?
Now that you mention it, Morpheus was probably the beginning of the improbably leap-and-land thing, but when chicks do it in latex, it's more memorable. *grin*

Amen, sister.

I own the original Nikita, but there wasn't much latex in that. I was thinking that she's not much for the latex thing. Ripley in tight leather pants, now... Yeah, I see the VFFM as a good plan. Now to find a place that can host it.

hm... tempting, but my living room would need help to have more than about half a dozen people seated comfortably. i do have a medium-large TV of Doom, tho.
