THANKS FOR T H E LAUGHS Congratulations on your great weekly. I look forward to and enjoy every issue and I’d like to mention specifically the regu lar parts which contribute to my enjoyment. They include: Cecil’s Straight Dope, Quirks (always good laughs), Dug Nap, Lola, articles by Kevin Kelley, Peter Kurth (his article on the Matt Stickney issue was the most unbiased coverage I read) and recently I loved all the contribu tions from local writers on Thanksgiving. For improvements I would encourage you to drop the horo scope (it’s not very funny) and trade Peter Freyne to the Vermont Times for Maggie Maurice! Then you’d be just about perfect in my eyes! I’ll still keep reading and enjoying your great paper, though, even if you aren’t able to accomplish these suggested changes. PS. Pamela’s recent lead article on the Firehouse Gallery (“20Something Vision,” November 27) compelled me to stop in. — Karen Grace Starksboro

SOUR ON SWEETSER Seven Days is a great read, especially Peter Freyne’s latest all-too-pertinent gossip about our State Senator Susan Sweetser’s personal problems. For over a year now I had been warning Vermonters that Susan Sweetser was a potential clone of the soon-to-be-former Utah Congresswoman Enid Waldholz (now Enid Green): Same gender, same profession, same party, same scam of a husband, same phony family values. As a former Utahan, I know the type and I’ve watched them try to destroy the environment of a beautiful state. Only the feder al government has prevented Utah from turning into the armpit of hell. Thank goodness, Vermonters have more sense and we prevented another anti-environmentalist from going to Congress. Shame, to use Susan’s favorite phrase... shame on the Vermont Republican Party for foisting such a candidate upon Vermont and potentially causing us great embarrassment. And Ms. Sweetser, please don’t blame your husband and your political opponents for all your prob lems. At least try to help your former mates to be at least good fathers, if not providers.

Thank you, Peter Freyne, for enlightening us. Only please, Peter, give the late Frank Zappa credit for the Susie Creamcheese label. Recalling an old Mothers of Invention album, Susie Creamcheese lived in Salt Lake City and had hidden perversities (concerning chocolate sauce) while pretending to be an All-American girl. P.S. Ironically, I heard of Susan’s filing for divorce while at Sanders’ post-election celebration din ner. I had missed the small obituary-sized report in The Burlington Free Press. Those present at the dinner took no pleasure in hearing of Susan’s troubles. I am dismayed, but not surprised, that she’d think we would wish this upon her. Again, Freyne and Kelley seem to be doing good reporting, and I wish I could get your paper at every public venue, but often I find it worthwhile to drive to find one. — Dave Pell Hinesburg

T H E WAR IS OVER Nancy Stearns Bercaw fans the fires of racist, tired, fear-filled, and dead-wrong stereotype when she suggests that “white and American” Julia DiPietro runs the risk of “resentment” from the Vietnamese people when she travels to Hanoi to teach English (“Happy New Year Vietnam,” December 11). As one who recently traveled extensively throughout Vietnam, including Hanoi, I can assure both Ms. Bercaw and Ms. DiPietro that the Vietnamese do not harbor resentment toward Americans, and indeed welcome us with open hearts, honest smiles and great need. Even in My Lai, the site of the famous massacre, local Vietnamese were disappointed that I did not serve in the army and that this was only my first trip to their gor geous Vietnam. More than half the Vietnamese alive today were not alive during the American War. T he Vietnamese have since fought two other wars, one with China and one with Cambodia (the “assist” on that score goes again to Dr. Kissinger). They are no longer fighting the Vietnam War, and neither should journalists like Bercaw. — John Wagner Montpelier

TIME WILL TELL T here’s a lesson in this: D on’t give up on people you sent tapes to eons ago who didn’t call you back. Well, OK , some o f them will never call, the jerks. But sometimes they just take awhile. Central V erm ont’s acid-jazz crew, Viperhouse, recently debuted in New York City, a result o f New Music Cafe owner Barry W alters checking out an old dem o and loving it. “I don’t even remember w hat was on that tape,” says bandleader/saxophonist M ichael C horney. “I was sur prised because we haven’t been actively pursuing gigs. I had sent the guy a tape a long tim e ago, and he finally got around to listening to it and really liked it.” Walters put the Vipers in his new Bleecker Street club, T he Elbow Room — a hipster kinda place where members o f T he Groove Collective groove weekly. Immediately, says Chorney, Walters invited the band back to headline at New Music, then plans to rotate them between the two on a regular basis. It didn’t hurt that they attracted 200 people to the club. Guess Viperhouse makes a good

first impression — but not only in the Big Apple. . Just about everywhere they go, the band gets asked back for headlining gigs. Even better, they’re now selling “a bunch” o f their new C D at every show. So, is the 10-member unit — which travels w ith five more — ready for more time on the road? “We just had our big band meeting about the trav eling,” says Chorney, w ithout really answering the question. Let’s just say there are a lot o f day jobs on the line. T he band is taking January off to work on new material, then hits that long, cold highway to warm, fan-filled rooms. Viperhouse plays Club M etronom e this Thursday.

MOVE OVER, MTV It was almost a year ago that Central Vermont Musicians Television made itself accessible — on cable access, that is. Dedicated to program m ing in-studio performances and inter views w ith area musicians, C V M T is essentially a couple of video techies, Bonnie LaFlower (execu tive director, music coordinator) and Chris M artin (producer), whose day jobs involve selling grave stones. Those two plus Leonard O sterburg, sound technician/producer, A lbert Gallagher, video technician/producer, and Charles Trottier, director/producer, comprise the board. C V M T

(self-released CD) — The subtitle of this merry collection is “A collection of tradi tional songs and dance tunes.” Take that to mean New England style music by way of Ireland, Scotland, England and France/Canada, and if this GD doesn’t make you want to jig, I don’t know what will. More often uptempo and instrumental, Sampler features some of the best old-timey players and singers in the state, more than I can credit here, so I won’t even start. Its choral selections hark back to the 18th and 19th centuries, its minor-key melodies stir more ancient feelings still.

ally isn’t a crime of intent. I think people, just in their every day travel, are in a hurry to get here and there. I don’t think they give it much thought. It's a passive crime." Lieutenant Thomas Stech of the Colchester Police Department agrees, saying most of the problems in his town are the result of “driver inattention.” One trouble spot on the Seven Days list, the intersection o f Routes 7 and 2, may eventually leave the list because recent improA ements there include a traffic signal and an addition al turning lane, the officer says. Motorists worried that the new attention to intersections might produce unfair speed traps can get some solace in evidence that Vermont police don’t nickel-and-dime drivers. A Seven Days computer analy sis of 80,509 speeding tickets written in Vermont in 1994 and 1995 revealed that only 3.1 percent of them went to motorists exceeding the limit by between one and 10 miles per hour. Nearly 97 percent of the tickets went to drivers going at lease 11 miles per hour over the limit — assumofficers were honest. The list of hazardous intersections (see chart) isn’t simply a compilation of those with the most traffic acci dents. Instead, the state Agency of Transportation looked at 34,468 traffic acci dents from 1990 through 1994, and used a computer program to pick out the spots where crash rates were signifi cantly higher than average for a given style of intersection or roadway. Ir means that even an intersection with relatively low traffic can pose a higherthan-expected risk for motorises. Even though it has plenty of accidents, Burlington’s Main and South Prospect didn’t make the computer-generated list because it has heavy traffic. Marny Long, the UVM student injured at Main and South Prospect last month, still thinks about the crash. No one was seriously injured, but Long says she bumped her head, got a scratch by her eye, some bruises and perhaps a slight concussion. She and a friend still have aches and pains. “We’ve still been having headaches since the accident,” she says. “We’re both kind of paranoid in cars now.” □

emember snowdomes — those tiny holiday tableaux or scaled-down tourist sites sealed in a clear plastic dome filled with liquid? Maybe you know them as sno-globes, snow shakers or waterglobes. Whatever you call them, a snowdome is a snowdome is a snowdome. Give it a shake and you set into motion a miniature blizzard. Even if you failed to pick one up the last time you visited Niagara Falls or changed planes in Chicago, somewhere along the line a snowdome has probably found its way into your life. And you may assume that all these palm-sized winterstorm simulators are just cheap

sent as if it were a soapbox from which to harangue passers-by with his holiday mes sage. In Russ’ Little World of Love snowdome, available for $10 at Nadeau Drugs, both Jolly Old and Mrs. St. Nick are missing. In their place, molded plastic stuffed animals surround a special compartment in which you can display a tiny photo of your baby. You can choose between the red-based “Baby’s First Christmas” or the green “Grandchild’s First Christmas” model. Issue a winter storm advisory, then swoosh the dome around and watch the elements engulf your precious offspring. These modestly priced plas tic snowdomes are kissing cousins of the souvenir globes

Shake him up and create an instant Alka-Seltzer ad. If you can’t stomach a dyspeptic St. Nick, perhaps a giant snowman who swallowed his children, or a tin soldier with a turn full of musicians will fit the bill. Snowdomes aren’t confined to drug and variety stores, either — everyone’s going snowglobal.

souvenirs and tacky holiday harbingers. Wrong. Not all snowdomes are created equal. And the fact is, while you haven’t been paying attention, snowdomes have quietly hit the big time. Stop in at any drug store, especially this month, and you’ll be greeted by a pile of them. Tucked between the candycane pens and the keepsake ornaments at Brooks Drugs, you’ll find Santa and Mrs. Claus, plump as raisins and encapsulated in plastic obelisks full of snow. They sell for a mere $1.98. At City Drug, $4.99 buys a Santa snowdome packaged with a pair of bell, candycane or Christmas wreath earrings.

or we all know and love hate; the kind in which the white stuff cheerfully envelops the Christ of the Ozarks, a flock of flamingos or your favorite NFL helmet. But they’re not the whole snow dome story. On other shelves, plastic stocking-stuffer domes are being upstaged by their showy, nouveau riche relations. We’re talking genuine glass domes here. We’re talking bases boasting ornate statuary execut ed in polished wood or painted bisque — or cast resin artfully tooled to simulate polished wood or painted bisque. We’re talking moving parts and music boxes. We’re talking real money.

or some people, Its a Wonderful Life does the trick. For others, it’s The Nutcracker. But for me, getting “in the holiday spirit” has a lot to do with getting into the spir its. And were not talking Christmases past, present and future. A favorite and foolproof way to kindle a little holiday cheer is to have friends over for hot drinks. From wassail to nog, toddies to glug, the cus tom of serving up steaming beverages in the dark winter months is older than Christmas itself. (The pagans used to usher in the longest night of the year with parties of compa rable length.)

hat makes people think they have the right to be happy?” Samuel Beckett once asked, and the pensive playwright was not far off base. You shouldn’t expect to be cheery all the time, acknowledges Middlebury psy chotherapist Juliana O ’Brien — especially during the holidays. O ’Brien, who has a masters in social work from Columbia University and a divinity degree from Yale, talked with us about getting more out of the holi days by doing less and breath ing more.

SD: Shouldn’t everyone in the whole world get therapy simulta neously? It wont help i f Im the only one getting better. JO: If we could get away this idea that therapy is some thing we do in a crisis, when we’re in bad shape — do some thing preventative. If you wanted to get into shape, you’d join the YMCA. Learning how to do things differently takes practice and reinforcement. Anxiety helps us change. Stress and anxiety are cumulative. If it gets chronic, it leads to heart attacks and strokes. One change over the holiday is an amazing feat. W hen people want to change all at once, and they can’t, they feel bad. Congratulate yourself for even one small change. Fighting a huge tide of family myth and consumerism is like swimming upstream. , SD: Do you see an increase in clients after the New Year? JO: I’m doing these anxiety groups, We all need help and support. It s hard to do it alone. I’ve been getting a lot of calls for these groups. W hen

SD: What about the competition o f Christmas? I f we change, we wont stack up. JO: It’s a mob mentality when we start comparing ourselves. Comparison is one of the worst things we can do. Make the change and stop comparing yourself. I know everyone isn’t making this choice, but it’s making me feel more calm. If you’re close to someone in die family, make a choice with them. Make a commitment together so you’re not die only one changing.

You won’t have feel-good feel ings all the time. Accept it. Go on. That’s life.

Anxiety is often felt in the body as a result o f rapid and shallow breath. Learning how to breath from our diaphragms throughout the day can totally change our stress levels. Put your hand on your stomach and breath deeply into your diaphragm, filling your abdomen with air like a basket ball. If your shoulders are ris ing, you are breathing into your chest, not your diaphragm. Then slowly exhale — pushing all air out gently. Do this five times and you will relax. This holiday integrate deep breathing into conversa tions. Try this while talking to a difficult or favorite relative at your meal. Breathe deeply as they talk and you listen. It will enhance your concentration and release stress.

I LLUSTRATI ON;

Give The G ift That Gives Twice!

SD: What about g u ilt— “III Be Home for Christmas”and all that? JO: Sometimes we get caught between going and hating it and staying and regretting that we never went. If you come home from Christmas every year and start drinking shots of vodka, or have a migraine for three weeks, the price is too high. Think about your intent for the next holiday now. Next year say, ‘Tm going to do something different,” then affirm yourself for doing it. It’s a huge accomplishment. The point is, you broke the pattern. That’s the benefit of change. fTheres the anxiety from change, which makes us anx ious because it’s new — but it can lead to new life. There’s the anxiety from not changing, which leads to more anxiety — and only gets worse.

I’ve run them before, they do talk about expectations. People want the holidays to be a cer tain way. Surrender to the fact that you’re not Santa Claus.

S E V E N DAYS

Surrender to the fa ct that you re not Santa Claus. You wont have feel-good feelings all the time. Accept it.

SD: Is there such a thing as PostChristmas Stress Disorder? JO: There’s the huge hype and then there’s the ending. That’s often when people feel depressed — after the fact. Think about what to do after the holiday. Get together with friends. There’s not something the matter with you. It’s a nor mal response. The long-term goal is to keep from getting shell-shocked. To survive, we tend to shut down. SD: Give us some tips on how to relax. JO: Slow down and breathe.

SD: Where does Godf it into Christmas, again? 1forgot. JO: Think of God as an entity who wants you to love yourself. Put in positive thoughts. Affirm yourself. We need to feel like something else is on our side. Christmas and Hanukkah are about new light, new life and new hope — not the perfection of humanity. Maybe the beginning point of change for all of us this holiday season is to acknowledge that the holidays will always be filled with mixed emotion. And that’s okay. □

ARICS

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): If you’ll ever in this life get your picture in the newspaper, it’ll probably be because of the heroic (or at least notorious) feats you pull off in 1997. On a darker note, if you ever in this life end up howling with vindication as you drive your adversary’s face into the mud with your boot, it’ll also be in 1997. In conclusion, Aries, it’s likely to be a year in which you score so many strident, unusual successes that by January 1998 you may have to get to know yourself all over again.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): I saw a gift in the Neiman-Marcus Christmas catalogue that would be perfect for you. It’s an exquisite rendition of Excalibur: a sterling silver sword embedded in a slab of handcrafted lead crystal. Unfortunately, it’s overpriced at $3100, so you may have to rig up a makeshift substitute. In either case, having a symbolic Excalibur sitting around the house would serve as a bracing reminder of the strange and unexpected and sudden opportunities that await you in 1997. Like the boy named Arthur who became king by extracting the sword from the stone when no one else could, you’ll receive at least one fateful chance to pull off a transformative feat you didn’t even know you were capable of. GCMINI

(May 21-June 20): “Dear Santa: For Christmas, I wish to hell you would bring me a telescope, ; because I am pretty damn tired of

BY ROB BREZSNY+*

of the far horizon, and other cool stuff like that. Please, Santa, I’m begging you. — Near-Sighted Gemini.”

for intense pleasure by making love in hot springs surrounded by snow?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may possess two BMWs and a private jet, yet still be poor. You can own a luxury home in a gated community but feel absolutely homeless. You might even be surrounded by adoring admirers and yet crave love like a Calcutta orphan. But enough of this mawkish scolding. I have reason to believe, Virgo, that in recent weeks you’ve learned so much about loving yourself and building your inner wealth and making yourself feel at home that you’ll never again need to hear platitudes like those I just muttered.

CANCCR (June 21-July 22): A power animal is a spirit guide that takes the form of a wild creature. While other signs of the zodiac get glamorous versions of this special ally, like lions and eagles, we Cancerians are stuck with the crab. For the last year or so, the turtle has also been a power animal for many of us. “Comforting, maternal and soothing” is how shaman Nicki Scully describes the turtle. “Her greatest gift is her service to the future... She’s eternally youthful, without being childlike... slow, deliberate and exacting.” In 1997, Cancer, I foresee you adding a third power animal to aid you in your brave quests: the owl. With her keen night vision and hunting skills, she’s a guide into the unknown, as well as a teacher of alchemy, helping you turn lead into gold.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If anyone would have asked me what to give you for Christmas 12 months ago, I might have said a nice new blender, vacuum cleaner or electric toothbrush. This year I’d be inclined to go with silk pajamas, a manual on the tantric arts and plane tickets for two to the south of France. Have your needs really evolved that dramatically? Let’s put it this way. When I close my eyes and try to get a psychic picture symbolizing your life next summer, I see you and a friend playing naked in a fountain.

LCO

(July 23-Aug. 22): In Mongolia, there are certain macho fools who show off their ability to withstand pain by stripping off their clothes and playing chicken with howling sandstorms. My astrological investigations tell me that at various times in 1996, many of you Leo folks have pulled off the equivalent of this loony feat. But I think that’s enough,

AQUARIUS

lots of riveting new music, plus a pulsating, computer-controlled, fullbody massage chair, and everything else that’ll propitiate your mastery of stay-at-home sensuality.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I predict that you’ll be making lots of sharp turns, sudden stops and rapid accelerations in 1997. Not that you’ll be burning up the road like a drunken maniac. On the contrary. You’ll be more like a professional driver skillfully negotiating labyrinthine routes with the speed and mobility of a bike messenger. (And in fact, your assignments will have a certain metaphorical resemblance to the work of a bike messenger.) That’s why I suggest you give yourself a Spillbuster for Christmas. It’s a hightech gyro mechanism that holds your coffee or espresso or Jolt cola steady on the dashboard as you twist and turn your way from pitstop to pitstop. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan. 19): Thinking of traveling in 1997? For maximum inspiration, I suggest you schedule your trips between midMarch and mid-June. Hoping your journeys’ revelations will stimulate your ambitions in big new directions? Get working to make it so within three weeks after you return. Wondering what gifts you could ask for this holiday season that will fire up

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If I were going to select the perfect symbolic gift for you for Christmas, it would probably be a wetsuit. That’s because the first part of 1997 will have certain resemblances to diving into a frigid ocean. But wait! Before you shout “arrrgggh,” let me describe the next part of the metaphorical scenario. Very soon after you launch yourself into the cold drink, your capillaries begin to constrict, unleashing a flood of endorphins and adrenaline. And then you’ll feel so good that you’ll be totally gung-ho to surf the humongous

PISCCS (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I recommend you include the following gifts on your holiday wish list. 1) A toy bulldozer. (It’ll help get you in the properly playful mood for all the deconstruction projects the cosmos has scheduled for you in 1997.) 2) A reading with a good psychic. (It’ll clarify the nature of the old karma you’ll have the chance to exorcise in 1997.) 3) A beautiful new silver or gold cup. (It’ll symbolically replace the leaky vessels that’ve haunted your dreams and made it so difficult for you to hold your charge.) □

I'M DREAMING OF A BLACK-AND-WHITE CHRISTMAS am a creaking old man in my fifth decade on this odd ball called Earth, and I can barely remember what I did yesterday, much less what the world was like when I was a boy. Except at Christmastime. For me the weeks between Thanksgiving and the New Year are magically charged, a veritable all-you-can-eat sensememory pig-out. The scent of pine is in the air. Homes are bejewelled with lights. Songs are sung that aren’t the rest of the year. And, best of all, repeats clog the airwaves. Nothing transports me back to the now-remote Christmases of my youth like watching the same holiday spe cials I watched then — when I was making lists for Santa instead of fulfilling them. W hat is it about “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” for example, that so palpably brings back everything that made the sea son such a mysti cal experience for a kid? Growing up, I watched it each December in black and white on our rabbit-eared old Zenith. It seemed every bit as glorious to me then as it does today in big-screen color and stereo. It’s the War and Peace of holiday specials, the standard by which all others are mea sured and against which most of them pale. The music is transcendently hep, the art is seductively ragged, and in 41 years I’ve yet to come across a more moving True Meaning of Christmas speech than the one Linus delivers to that blockhead, Charlie Brown. Watching that with my brother and sister was as sacred a part of the annual rite as visiting the department store Santa, or Christmas morning itself. And now I relive those moments beside my son and daughter as they charge the batteries of their own memory power pack. If I watch long enough, bits of some of the best times in my life flash before my eyes. Norelco Santas gliding across a sloping field of stop-action snow. Burl Ives singing “Silver and Gold” as Rudolph makes his yearly odyssey to The Land of Misfit Toys. That evergreen, The Grinch, once more break

ing into the home of little Cindy-Lou Who. And some body, somewhere, will still try to sell me a collection of time less holiday standards by Dean Martin, Lome Green and The Tijuana Brass. Sadly, there are lost classics, too. Who pulled the plug on “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol?” Generations of viewers are being denied the yuletide joy of watching Thurston Howell III interpret the time less work of Dickens. They don’t know what they’re miss ing. I do. For the most part, though, the holidays are a time of unparalled TV bounty. Until recently, It’s a Wonderful Life ran on dozens of channels hundreds of times in the weeks before Christmas. You still can’t get through the holidays without tripping over the schmaltzy but addictive Capra classic. And there are adapta tions of A Christmas Carol for every filmgoer’s taste: the old 1951 chestnut with Alastair Sim; the underrated 1970 Scrooge, star ring the great Albert Finney, and, easily the weirdest, the 1988 Bill Murray film, Scrooged— to name just a few. For reliving my early days as a round-faced boy with clunky glasses growing up in the late ’50s/early ’60s, noth ing beats A Christmas Story, which chronicles the holiday adventures of — guess what — a round-faced boy with clunky glasses growing up in the late ’50s/early ’60s. But the images that mean the most are the ones I watched as a small boy — and still watch today. When I see them, something glows in some synapse, and an old feel ing washes over me. A warm sense of the world as a glitter ing place; of the season as a special time when people seem happier, friendlier and more generous than usual; a sense of being loved and protected; a feeling that anything is possi ble. I see now that this feeling was the best gift my parents ever gave me, and I’m grateful for the help I get from Linus, Burl, Jimmy, Bing, the Grinch — even Herb Alpert — each year as I try to recapture it for a moment or two. I couldn’t do it without them. It’s hard enough without Mr. Magoo. □

MARS ATTACKS!

Tim Burton has nude a ; film especially for people who share his tongue-in-cheek appreciation of schlocky, grade-B science-fiction with its rubber monster costumes and cheesy shoestring special efFects. The problem is, his movie isn’t as entertaining as the pictures he parodies, and THEY CAME, THEY SAW, THEY SUCKED k Burton his cheesy efFects cost $80 million. are an alien concept.

son to Independence Day is inevitable), but even more from the offhandedness with which Burton approached the subject matter. There’s not much to the story: Armies of little green men from the angry i red planet launch an invasion of Earth. Jack Nicholsons the President, Glenn Close his bitchy wife. Rod v. Steiger plays a Pentagon general who keeps urging an all-out nuclear counterattack. Martin Short and Pierce Brosnan play airheaded White House staffers who keep talking the chief executive into trying to * turn the historic get-together into a touchy-feelie photo op. By the time Nicholson faces the fact that he’s J at war, it’s too late for him to win it.

But the point of a film like this isn’t the story, anyway, as much as the ironic view it takes,of its source material, the motley quality of its cast, the contemporary attitudes it juxtaposes with vintage situations, : and the original concepts it throws into the mix. As the director of Edward ScUsorhands, Pee- Wee’s Big Adventure and Ed Wood, Button should be able to pull something like this off in his sleep. Evidently he j tried to. With the exception of two or three hilarious and mindbendingly brilliant bits — which I won’t divulge — the movie is, by and large, an amalgam of tired social comment, copy-cat casting, old-hat observations and jokes that are merely old. A partial list of the lame:

!" on yo u r local preview su id e channel

LAST WEEK'S ANSWER:

• Annette Bening plays a vacuous new-ager who packs her pyramids and makes a pilgrimage to the Martians’ landing site, believing their arrival will usher in the dawn of a, well, new age. This one-joke nonsense drags on for a quarter of the film. Independence Day made the same joke, more humorously, in under 10 seconds. • Were supposed to think it’s really far-out that Tom Jones appears in the last act, but this kind of thing just isn’t all that hilarious anymore. Consider how many movies Wayne Newton has shown up in. In fact, it really hasn’t been funny since the first time it was done, when Robert Goulet appeared in The Naked Gun back in 1988. • The picture makes fun of politicians. Turns out they’re self-interested dimwits. The picture makes fun of some people who live in a trailer. Turns out they probably weren’t college-educated. Also, they like to watch TV. • Amazingly, one of the picture’s most memorable images is that of a person’s head grafted by the aliens onto the body of a small dog. This is amazing because Burton — legendary for his inventive imagery — has stolen this outright from Phil Kaufman’s 1978 Invasion o f the Body Snatchers. At an hour and 45, Burton’s latest feels like 30 minutes too long. Its kitschy saucers, state-of-the-art computer work and endless references to old sci-fi films (the noise made by the Martians’ death ray x echoes from 1953 s War of the Worlds, etc.) are simply not enough to make a movie of. In the end. Mars Attacks! suggests a collection of comic books, trading cards, models and assorted paraphernalia that some compulsive adolescent has laid out in his bedroom to impress a rare visitor. O ne appreciates that he went - ■ to so much trouble. At the same time, one thinks, he really shouldn’t have.
