From: John Redford <VLSI at DEC-MARLBORO> It sounds like "Rock and Rule" is being re-released as "Ring of Power" at the LA Filmex. Good, I liked it a lot when I saw it in Boston a while ago. Sure it had a hokey ending, but there were some great touches in it. Eg, the aging rock superstar (named "Mock", who could they be referring to?) has a mansion that metamorhposizes into a jet-propelled zeppelin after he kidnaps the heroine. Try doing that with models, Lucasfilm! It was only showing in the smallest theaters, though, and it closed after a week. "Something Wicked This Way Comes" also closed after a week, and I also liked it. For a while there I was worried that I was poisoning all these great movies. /jlr US mail, Arpanet, EngNet: who cares? --------
