RE ROCK AND RULE... If you think that's a dumb title, consider the working title, which was DRATS! I sat in on a little schtick by Melvana (the Canadian animation shop which did Rock and Rule, Animalympics, etc.) at Iguanacon and have been watching for DRATS out of the corner of my eye ever since. Best I did was a Marvel comic book made of fuzzily-screened cells out of the movie. Looked visually skillful and unutterably stupid. On the other hand, if somebody played it at a con I'd go--if that sounds like a suggestion, well, concoms, it is. Sigourney/Scirocco wrapup--looks like the ayes have it. So Scirocco had a broken nose--I don't recall any plot point turning on the brokenness of her nose. Or her looks generally; if a director wanted a pretty Scirocco I wouldn't kick too much. Sigourney Weaver has the look of high intelligence about her, which is a condition on which EVERYTHING turns in Titan/Wizard/Demon. A much tougher directorial challenge would be getting a horde of topless, full-breasted Titanides past the film censors. American nipplephobia is nothing short of astounding. By the way, I thought that robot painting on the Queen cover was from I,Robot by Asimov...somebody check, huh? I don't have the album, nor the mag from which it came. --Jeff Duntemann Something may cycle about Rochester; God knows what; maybe vultures... duntemann.wbst@xerox.arpa
