I think that when the history of show business in the later months of 1987 is finally written, one name will shine like a beacon as a great actor who has overcome tremendous prejudice to be beloved of millions, an actor whose natural charm has made him a household name in the same year that many of his fellows have been murdered, not for what they have done, but simply for being what they are. What they are is pit bull terriers and the actor I am referring to is the one and only Spuds Mackenzie. The manufacturers of a brand of beer have chosen Spuds to be their spokesman. This is in a year when Mayor Koch of New York City was talking about outlawing Spuds's fellows from New York City because, as the usually liberal mayor has said, pit bulls are born killers and walking time-bombs. I would like to see the mayor try to keep a celebrity like Spuds out of his city. I suspect the beer company chose Spuds to make a superstar not to stand a stand for tolerance, but because of all the stars they could have chosen, Spuds alone is still willing to work for a can of rank-smelling horsemeat a day. I would like to believe they had higher principles, perhaps principles of promoting greater THE MT VOID Page 2 understanding, but then I see ads of Spuds standing on a surfboard with the caption "Hang twenty!" As even their photographer should have been able to tell them, the proper caption is "Hang eighteen!" Obviously nobody at the beer company got to know Spuds well enough to tell the difference. So this issue is dedicated to the great actor Spuds Mackenzie, with the hopes that with his balance of easy charm, good looks without being pretty, and obvious hidden reserves of power, he should be considered for the role of the next James Bond. 2. THe holiday season seems to have addled my brain. I claimed the Middletown discussion was on January 8; it was January 6. I said the Boucher story was "The Quest for St. Acquin"; it was "The Quest for Saint Aquin." And I forgot to give the date and time for the film festival. I guess my New Year's resolution will have to be to de-addle myself. [-ecl] Mark Leeper MT 3E-433 957-5619 ...mtgzz!leeper ETHER ORE by H. C. Turk Tor, 1987, 0-812-55635-6, $3.50. A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper Copyright 1988 Evelyn C. Leeper This is the second book I've read in the "Ben Bova Discoveries" series (the first was _N_a_p_o_l_e_o_n _D_i_s_e_n_t_i_m_e_d) and frankly, I don't get it. Both seem to be written as though the reader should find them hysterically funny. I wish I could explain precisely what I mean by that, but I can't. Just think back to the last time you want a comedy show that wasn't funny, and you'll know the feeling. _N_a_p_o_l_e_o_n _D_i_s_e_n_t_i_m_e_d had some background adventure-type plot to sustain it, but _E_t_h_e_r _O_r_e just falls flat. Melody Preece--the blurb describes her as "Alice in Wonderland, Dorothy of Oz and Barbra Streisand, all rolled into one," after which build-up disappointment is almost inevitable--anyway, Melody Preece wants to go to Marz, the Tan Planet. Oh, yes, this is also an alternate worlds novel--not an alternate history novel, mind you. A sample from the first chapter explains, "In this era, the greatest influence on world politics and society was the pacificist Adele Hidler. Fuhrher* Hidler had gained her greatest fame by virtually preventing World War II using the force of her personality, overcoming her demokraptic nemesis, Wynton Churchell, via heated and well-publicized debates. Hidler convinced the world to reject Churchell's ideas, his militarism, and especially the Briticher's unfortunate desire to force Yurope's Hebish populations into a separate state instead of integrating them with the societies of their home nations. Hidler's insistence was to accept Jewbrews as people instead of segregating them as religious cult." I won't even mention (okay, I just did) that Turk does not mean that Hidler virtually prevented World War II, but rather that she _d_i_d prevent it almost entirely by the force of her personality. And a subsidiary observation is that if she prevented it, it wouldn't have the name "World War II" either. The novel continues in this vein, with Lynda Buns Jonestown, Calizonia, Doitchland, ad infinitum, truly ad nauseum. Turk seems to think that misspelling every proper name s/he can sandwich in makes the novel clever; it merely makes it look like a proofreading nightmare, or your average Ace book (sorry, that was a cheap shot, but I couldn't resist it). The advantage to this, of course, is that even if _E_t_h_e_r _O_r_e were badly proofread, it would be almost impossible to detect. __________ * Note: The feminine of "Fuhrer" would actually be, I believe, "Fuhrerin." Ether Ore January 5, 1988 Page 2 Melody gets to Marz, where she somehow changes universes to another alternate world, is thought to be a witch and is sentenced to burn at the stake. From here it's just one madcap adventure after another. Whoopee! I feel like the character in he Four Seasons who says, "Is this the fun part? Are we having fun yet?" It isn't and I didn't. ==================================== GOLDEN GATE by Vikram Seth Vintage, 1987, 0-394-75063-2, $5.95. A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper Copyright 1988 Evelyn C. Leeper This review I'm moved to write in verse For reasons that should soon be clear. I hope my message is none the worse Though I ape the author, Seth, here. He tells, in this novel poetic, Of thoughts both noble and pathetic. His tales of friendship gained, then lost, And of the heavy human cost Should move the reader to think about His (her) own friends--and lovers too-- And what he (she) can put them through. I urge you, reader, without a doubt, To try this quite unusual book-- It really does deserve a look. MUSIC OF THE SPHERES A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1988 Mark R. Leeper Capsule review: Rock-bottom budget science fiction film has little or nothing to offer but some really intriguing science fiction ideas. If you disliked films like _L_i_f_e_f_o_r_c_e and _P_r_i_n_c_e _o_f _D_a_r_k_n_e_s_s, you're going to really hate this one and I suggest you watch _T_h_e _T_e_r_m_i_n_a_t_o_r again instead. Rating: +2. One of the oddest science fiction films of the 1960s is _C_r_e_a_t_i_o_n _o_f _t_h_e _H_u_m_a_n_o_i_d_s. It was an incredible combination of the very good and the very bad. It was made on a lemonade-stand budget. The sets were cheap, the acting incompetent. But the script had interesting ideas, mostly based on Jack Williamson's "Humanoids" stories. There was some decent drama that led one to believe this might have made a decent stage play. It has remained a "cult film" and a curiosity. It was quite unique until now. I think I have just seen my choice for the "Creation of the Humanoids" of the 1980s. It has a classy title, _M_u_s_i_c _o_f _t_h_e _S_p_h_e_r_e_s; it has some pretty heavy ideas. going for it. But the budget is bargain-basement; some of the acting and all of the special effects are terrible. Watch it carefully for ten minutes; if you are not intrigued by the film in that time, shut it off. The film is set in a future perhaps a century from now. The superpowers have fallen apart of their own weight and after the chaos came an order controlled by huge biological computers, the largest of which is called the Beast. The computers have minds of their own and the only way they can be controlled or even communicated with is by having a specially selected human mind-meld with them. And it is important to have a human mind-meld with the Beast because the computer is being used to implement a project to turn three asteroids into solar cells that will beam a constant supply of energy via microwaves to Earth. But the Beast seems to be trying to prevent the project from going ahead. Do you think I am telling you too much? This much all comes out in the first five minutes or so and the ideas keep coming. This is a Canadian film done in English and French with subtitles. The cost of the film was reportedly $C110,000 in 1983. That is almost certainly less than 1% of what a film like _T_h_e _T_e_r_m_i_n_a_t_o_r cost, and that's low budget! Of course, the production values are dirt-cheap and the film needed a stronger ending. But ideas are cheap, so this film has more than you can take in on one viewing. Where did this thing turn up? Cable television's USA station ran it on a late-night counter- culture program called _N_i_g_h_t _F_l_i_g_h_t. I doubt that one in a hundred science fiction fans will even like the film--be warned. But for the few who are willing to put up with its rough edges, I'd rate it a +2 on the -4 to +4 scale. RAW A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1988 Mark R. Leeper Capsule review: Ultimately a very downbeat and bitter stand-up comic concert film. The problem is not that the humor is tasteless but that it is not particularly clever. _R_a_w is a short film that has occasional laugh-out-loud jokes but not enough to make it worthwhile. Rating: 0. I am not sure you can measure a concert film by the same standards by which you measure other films. Certainly a lot of the criteria you would apply to the quality of a dramatic film just do not apply to a concert film--considerations like, "Did the plot make sense?" But then, if one says a concert film is not a dramatic film, can you really say that _M_y _D_i_n_n_e_r _w_i_t_h _A_n_d_r_e is? It is somewhere in the gray area between drama and concert film. Well, one thing that seems to be called a concert film is a filmed comedy act by a stand-up comic. (If you look at Webster, a single person cannot give a concert, it has to be a _c_o_n_c_e_r_t_e_d effort. Eddie Murphy's _R_a_w just barely squeaks by on a technicality.) And if _R_a_w does just squeak by, that is just about the only place it does squeak. Generally it tends to roar in language that will never make it to commercial television. In fact, part of Murphy's appeal seems to be in the creative ways he finds to use profanity. And his appeal is undeniable and amazing. He has a line of anti-feminist and anti-homosexual patter that would do a Grand Wizard proud, and yet it is considered unobjectionable because it is embedded in profanity, like almonds in a Hershey bar, and hence is funny. It can be a strange world. _R_a_w begs comparison to other black stand-up comic concert films, particularly those of Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby. Even more than of dramatic films, comparisons of stand-up comics will be a matter of taste, but for my money Murphy comes in a distinct third. Of the three comics Cosby is the funniest. There is nothing I have ever seen Murphy do that has had me laughing like Cosby's dentist routine. From Cosby to Pryor to Murphy the jokes become more bitter, less creative, more profane, and generally less funny. Murphy does a good impression of Cosby telling him to clean up his act, but the profanity that is Murphy's trademark is the least of his faults. Murphy's humor is at bottom very downbeat and often, as when he describes his bowel movements, just not all that interesting. Rate _R_a_w a flat 0 on the -4 to +4 scale. THROW MOMMA FROM THE TRAIN A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1988 Mark R. Leeper Capsule review: Danny DeVito's directing debut seems to indicate he is not yet ready to direct. The characters are neither believable nor likable and the comedy is not funny. DeVito needs and deserves a better director than DeVito. Rating: -1. I think most successful comic actors should learn from Harry Langdon's career. Langdon made a number of successful comedies back in the silent era. He had a funny face that just worked well with screen comedy. He was also ambitious and wanted to direct his own films. He spread a rumor that his director, Frank Capra, really was an incompetent and that he himself did most of the direction on his films. So the studio let Frank Capra go. (Fear not, it was a while, but Capra _d_i_d eventually get work directing films again.) Langdon directed his own comedies for two or three flops, then he let other directors misuse him and his career just sort of petered out. Not everyone who is good in comedy acting knows how to direct him or herself. Gene Wilder is another example. A third is probably Danny DeVito. DeVito needs a director who wants to and knows how to show him off. (I have been surprised by how many fans of _O_n_e _F_l_e_w _O_v_e_r _t_h_e _C_u_c_k_o_o'_s _N_e_s_t and _T_e_r_m_s _o_f _E_n_d_e_a_r_m_e_n_t do not even remember that DeVito was in those films.) DeVito has been funny only when he has had really talented directors. His first attempt to direct himself just proves he does not (yet?) have that talent. _T_h_r_o_w _M_o_m_m_a _f_r_o_m _t_h_e _T_r_a_i_n is a patchwork of comedy styles that never gels into a real film. The plot is a sendup of Hitchcock's _S_t_r_a_n_g_e_r_s _o_n _a _T_r_a_i_n. Larry (played by Billy Crystal) is a writing instructor who teaches his class that a writer always writes. He himself, however, has a writing block connected with his hatred of his ex-wife, a hatred he makes no secret. Owen (played by Danny DeVito) is a student in his class hatching murder plots in fiction and for real equally incompetently. Owen's mother is about as revolting as a woman can appear on screen and Owen, quite justifiably, wants to do her in. Through misunderstanding Owen thinks Larry has suggested an exchange of murders to throw off the police. The concept could have made for a successful comedy, but virtually nothing in this comedy is funny. The film starts with Larry struggling for much too long with the first sentence for his book. He wants a great first line and he knows it will be "The night was ." He has been stuck for months looking for the right adjective. The scriptwriter seems to think that a writer finds a first line and then builds a story around it--not too surprising, since he seems to have built a film around a funny title he never successfully fits into the Throw Momma from Train January 2, 1988 Page 2 plot. The situation is neither believable nor funny. And that is just how the rest of the film proceeds, leaving implausibilities and loose ends in its unfunny wake. The characters are inconsistent and unbelievable. (Would you help someone you thought was trying to kill you to find the right word for a line in a story?) In the great glut of comedies we are having, so unfunny a comedy will be quickly forgotten. Rate it a -1 on the -4 to +4 scale. ============================================ THE REVENGE OF THE HOUND by Michael Hardwick Villard, 1986, ISBN 0-394-55653-4, $17.95. A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper Copyright 1988 Evelyn C. Leeper Of the many authors who have followed in the footsteps of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Michael Hardwick has perhaps the best credentials. He has written several scholarly works about Sherlock Holmes as well as eight short Sherlockian plays and, before this novel, wrote _P_r_i_s_o_n_e_r _o_f _t_h_e _D_e_v_i_l in which Sherlock Holmes gets involved in the Dreyfus affair. (Given that Sherlock Holmes has _n_o direct dealings with the historical personages of his day in the Canon, one has to wonder why all imitators feel obliged to drag in all these well-known people. What is this, "Private Investigations of the Rich and Famous"?) Be that as it may, Hardwick does write a good story. If that sounds like damning with faint praise, you have not read some of the stuff published to cash in on Holmes's popularity. If Hardwick harps on Watson's love life a bit too much, at least he doesn't turn him into Casanova. And if Holmes is involved in deep political plots, at least he doesn't meet all the crowned (or uncrowned) heads of Europe in the process. My one real complaint is that he feels the need to refer back to several Canonical stories in addition to _T_h_e _H_o_u_n_d _o_f _t_h_e _B_a_s_k_e_r_v_i_l_l_e_s. The various strings of the reappearance of the hound, the seemingly senseless murder of a ship's steward, and the coronation of Edward VII are all tied up nicely at the end. Of course, it's easy for a writer to do that when s/he starts with the end and works back, but even so, so few writers seem to bother these days. Steranko's illustrations are on the whole good, though one or two seem "muddy." Whether that is due to the reproduction or to the dimness of the scene he is portraying, I don't know. I want to recommend _T_h_e _R_e_v_e_n_g_e _o_f _t_h_e _H_o_u_n_d, but I must add a proviso. Unless you are a collector of Holmesiana or very wealthy, get this from the library, buy it used, or wait for the paperback. I realize this is the age of the $7 movie, the $50 Broadway ticket, and the $1.50 cup of coffee, but $17.95 for a novel? Of course, you could always give it to a friend as a gift and then borrow it back.

When I found out you were in sickbay and that Wesley was going ta meet me, I ran back here but Wesley locked the Engineering doors.
