The as yet unnamed song is sung by the late John Lennon - who was shot dead in 1980 - and is scheduled for release this autumn to coincide with the re-release of the Yellow Submarine album and film. It is said to be their final single. EMI Records are behind the new promotional push for Yellow Submarine. The film has been unavailable on video for a decade and is to be re-released in a new form. It is also the first time a Beatles album has ever been remixed, according to an EMI spokesman. "It's all come out in a completely different form. It's like nothing you've ever heard by the Beatles before. But it's fundamentally still The Beatles. I think it sounds fantastic." In an attempt to recreate Yellow Submarine fever the record company are promoting tie-in merchandise and even considering hiring a real yellow submarine to sail up the River Mersey in Liverpool. - --- Anyone heard anything interesting about this matter? A lot of hardcore Beatle fans seem to think the "new song" will be nothing but "Hey Bulldog," labeled as "new" only because it's remixed and because the discarded "Hey Bulldog" animation sequence will be "newly" added back into the film. I really can't speculate, myself. Ideas? Is this empty hype or exciting news?

Hmm. Not bad, but I thought the T Rex actually represented the economic threat of a United Europe (notice that the first victim is the lawyer, who represents American Corporate Culture); the park *itself* is American Big Business. Meanwhile Laura Dern represents rationalist economic theory - remember that the first thing they examine closely in the park is that huge pile of dino-poop, which represents the effect of forced economic growth fueled by U.S./World Bank pressure to maintain acceptable market conditions for Western investment. I also thought the big fight at the end between the raptors and the T Rex, representing the struggle of Europe and the Third World over the decaying carcass of the post-Information-Age global economy, was a nice touch and probably quite prophetic. And last but not least, the two small children represent small children, who in general are just annoying to the point where you wish dinosaurs would simply eat them. John H.

The business of writing the surname in all CAPS is something I see a lot with people from various Oriental countries when they write their names in Roman letters.

Both tyrannosaurus rex and triceratops date from the Cretaceous Period, at the end of the Mesozoic Era (the Jurassic Period is in the middle). I assume that this is also true of the velociraptors, which are highly advanced dinosaurs. However, real velociraptors are barely half the size of the ones in the film. On the subject of film interpretation, I once developed a detailed theory that 'Destry Rides Again' is about the American War of Independence: Thomas Jefferson Destry (James Stewart) = Jeffersonian constitutionalism Kent (Brian Donlevy) = crooked English colonialism Frenchy (Marlene Dietrich) = wavering French foreign policy, switching from pro-English to pro-American Washington Dimsdale (Charles Winniger) = unthinking American militarism Where I got stuck is with the Mischa Auer character, a Russian whose wife calls him by the Irish name of her first husband until he asserts himself at the end of the film.

The Choir is my favorite band of all time! "Free Flying Soul" is a fantastic album - much, much better than the previous "Speckled Bird" (aka "Kissers and Killers"). More of a return to the mellow alterna-psychedelia of the "Circle Slide" glory days. FWIW, although they are technically broken up (Steve Hindalong has released his awful solo record, "Skinny", and Derri Daugherty has an upcoming solo effort), there is a show in Albequerque, NM over fourth of July (I think - maybe it's Memorial Day), and they still haven't ruled out another album if everything falls together.

Herr Doktor Victor von Branscombe writes, >If you want a real 'Science Is Bad' film try Event Horizon. A very nasty, >sub- Frankensteinian, we-musn't-meddle-with-God's-works affair. It makes >Crichton seem like one of Carl Sagan's best chums. You know, I *liked* "The Event Horizon." It owed a lot to "Alien," of course, but I really liked it -- enough to have seen it in the theaters twice. I saw "The Event Horizon" as more of a riff on Lovecraftian themes than as a Crichton "science is bad" cautionary tale. Lovecraft used science for horror -- the old "If Man wanders too far from his cosmic shore his mind will discover the true horrors of existence and he will freak out and have his brain removed and placed in a mason jar on Pluto by intelligent flying truffles." Lovecraft was fascinated with science, he loved it -- and, knowing that modern folk weren't really impressed with ghosts and vampires anymore, he delighted in using science as a door to new and strange realms of horror. "The Event Horizon" was very much in this vein; if it would have notched up the Existential angst a bit, it would have been very much like a modern Lovecraft story. (Hmmm . . . a "gate" to another dimension that is "hellish" to humans but is not really aligned on any particular religious axis . . . and the possession of a scientist by one of those entities . . . hmmm. . . . I bet Sam Neill's ancestor was named Charles Dexter Ward. . . .) Crichton, however, cynically manipulates science and technology for profit and pop fame. He posits a half-assed understanding of the scientific issue at best, then he takes the reader through a cheap thrill ride, his characters at the end always moralizing about how much we have to learn, or how terrible it would be to actually advance our knowledge. (I *hated* the ending of "Sphere.") There is no real horror, no overt supernatural aspect, no pondering potentially deeper levels to the Universe -- just the same drum beat over and over again. I suppose what really gets me is the moralizing . . . all Crichton's characters are just Crichton in disguise, trying to sermonize about a technology he really doesn't try to understand. If it weren't for that, I might actually find his books fun. Personally, I think he's pissed off at the world of science because he didn't have what it talkes to actually get through medical school. I mean, I *liked* "Jurassic Park" as a movie -- big fucking lizards rock! -- but as a science teacher, I can tell you that that film did untold damage to the public perception of genetic engineering. By the way, as a science guy myself, I do think that cautionary tales are very important -- "Frankenstein" is an essential and *necessary* classic. There is definitely a dark side to our use of technology. But films like "Bladerunner" or novels like "Neuromancer" highlight the essential modern tensions in the "Frankenstein" theme infinitely better than anything Crichton could attempt. (I am still convinced that he looted Sterling's "Heavy Weather" for all the good ideas in his otherwise idiotic "Twister" screenplay.) Whereas I see "The Even Horizon" as being just good clean horrific fun, like "Alien" or the "X-Files." Speaking of "Lovecraftian" movies . . . has anyone seen the ads for "The Blair Witch Project?" I am in love with the whole *idea* of that movie! Um, no Robyn. Well . . . he likes squids. - --H. P.

Tomorrow, May 12th, is Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a chronic, painful, often debilitating illness that affects around several million people. The symptoms include widespread muscle pain, visual disturbances, memory loss, concentration problems, insomnia, dizziness, nauseau, difficulty talking, heavy chronic fatigue, and many more. The disease has only begun to gain acceptance within the medical community. When I switch doctors, I have to bring books on the subject, because of the often seen blank looks I get. There needs to be more education & awareness on this illness. Too many of us FMSr's have gone to Kevorkian as a way out. (Well, not any more!) Part of the problem is that it is not recognized by the government as a disabling condition. 20% of FMSr's can't work even part-time. I'm in that category. But trying to get medical care &/or disablity is damn near impossible! So tell a friend, or look at http://www2.rpa.net/~lrandall/fms.html for a great list of many FMS sites.
