~ while the angry red planet continues to fail to deliver news on a timely schedule, check out the following articles…

gore vidal, composer of burr, has penned a rather angry article, ‘democratic vistas‘, for the nation. he addresses the u.s. presidential election debacle which some readers may remember hearing about last november.

also, freaking sony has unveiled some details concerning the new spider-man film; these details can be seen at hollywood.com. i don’t know if i can stand another movie adaptation of a comic book that must start at the beginning of the series; if there is a civilian out there who does not know that peter parker’s complacency led to his uncle’s death and the subsequent drive of spider-man‘s heroism, then he or she does not belong at the theater with the fans. we got enough of the questions about telepathy vs. telekinesis from the new x-men ‘fans’; i don’t look forward to a future of questions of the likes: ‘so spider-man used to be venom?’
