I Love Google
I’m about to brave it and go see SPIDERMAN despite the review in the New York Times. (I adore Toby McGuire). But while I was killing time I was trying to get ready to write the third interstitial for Wild Cards. My character has to stay in a small west Texas town. George had wanted me to place it in Wink, but Wink has no accomodations — of any kind. So I broadened the search, and discovered Pecos Texas, site of the first rodeo. They have several hotels. They even have the Best Western Swiss Clock hotel. Yes, I definitely have to have my supercilious Brit stay there. This is the kind of thing that makes Google invaluable. You can get some really bad info on the net, so you have to pick and choose how you use it, but for this kind of thing — priceless.

SPIDERMAN III is… not bad. It could have been 20-30 minutes shorter, and with a little less fervid emoting. I didn’t feel cheated, though.(*)
And the “revenge is bad” message is trite. Revenge is _good_. It’s a rush. There’s almost nothing except really good sex that feels so fine.
Granted, one can overdo it… 8-).
(*) and the new multiplex is _such_ a relief from the crummy movie theatres here in Santa Fe. Also the trailers were good.
