Flaming Lips' Freaky, Martian Musical Finally Touches Down
As frontman for the Flaming Lips, Wayne Coyne always makes sure his audience gets the most whiz-bang for its buck. At live gigs, that means trotting around inside a giant hamster ball while dozens of Santas and aliens shimmy onstage. And this holiday season it means a feature film. After seven years, Christmas on Mars, Coyne's sure-to-be cult classic, is ready to touch down on October 28. Shot in his native Oklahoma City, the shoestring sci-fi flick is the story of colonists on the Red Planet who are having the worst Yuletide ever. A Christmas baby&ampmdash;who may be the only hope for humanity&ampmdash;gestates in an artificial womb, but the colony's oxygen and gravity systems are failing. Can the savior be saved Wired talked to Coyne about his directorial debut.Wired: Christmas on Mars has been in development since 2001. During that time, all three Spider-Man movies came out. What took so longCoyne: People have been comparing it to Chinese Democracy. But I beat Axl Rose, because we've already been showing it. I'm embarrassed when you say it like that, though frankly, only the first Spider-Man was any good. The other two were slammed together in the basement while they were collecting money through the front door. They stopped making art, whereas I kept making art, so that's my defense.Wired: You play a messiah-like Martian with superpowers. Is one benefit of being the director that you can give yourself the best partCoyne: I didn't know what my character was going to be in the beginning. I just said, "Oh, I'll be the alien." I made myself one of the great heroes. Someone's got to do it.Wired: You've said this movie is a cross between 2001 and Eraserhead. Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch are pretty unstable chemicals to be mixing on a first effort. Coyne: Lynch felt utterly brave following his obsessions. Do that and your movie will at least please you.Wired: Is it true some of the screenings have been shut down by the cops due to noiseCoyne: I did a couple of previews in my yard. I've lived in this neighborhood since I was 11, so the police know me. We made it until the last five minutes of the movie. Then they said, "Wayne, that shit is too loud."Wired: How loud Coyne: We've done extensive enough tests to know that we're on the verge of destroying you. Which is what we want.Wired: NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander sent back soil tests showing that life could exist on Mars. You packing your bags Coyne: What I fear is that 20 years from now, the International Space Station will be complete, they'll want to have some inauguration party, and we'll be one of the bands that plays. It would be cool, but how horrible would that be to sit on top of that rocket, blasting into space with all our shitty equipmentWired: You'd let that keep you from becoming the first band in spaceCoyne: Well, when it becomes a real thing&ampmdash;think about space suits. This weird attachment goes up your ass and you gotta piss and shit inside this thing. There's a reality that overrides the blunt fantasticalness. I hate being on a 10-hour flight to Germany, let alone a three-week space mission.Wired: Aaron Sorkin is working on a Broadway musical based on your album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Does that mean a lot of karate-chop-and-talk hallway sequencesCoyne: I've thought about that a billion times. He's a smart and energetic guy. With me and him together, it's either all possibilities exist or none do.

McCain can still have the pleasure of knocking out Obama in a fist-fight!
Hyderabad, Nov.5 ANI: Though the United States of America has now voted in favour of African-American Barack Obama for the top post, he may continue to struggle to win in a 'fist-fight' with his chief Republican opponent John Mc Cain in the near future. Motivated by the huge enthusiasm among youngsters here to keep track of the two candidates' months-long contest to the White House, a technology-based Indian company has developed an online game where both the contestants for the U.S Presidential post could be made to settle scores by winning by a fist-fight. To provide entertainment to computer buffs, a company here has developed an online game 'The Big Fight' in which the individuals can enjoy Barack Obama and John McCain fighting it out in the ring with fists. The objective behind developing such a game is stated to be developing youngsters' interest in international news events like the recently held US poll. The techniques used in the online fight will involve boxing, kickboxing, karate and wrestling."People from all over the world have been eager to know the winner of the United States Presidential elections. We thought of having a different scenario than having just a verbal fight between them. In this fighting concept, there is a lot of kickboxing, punching, reverse kick that provide big enjoyment apart from giving the joy of being a part of election fever," said L. Maruti Shankar, Managing Director of the 7Seas Technologies Limited.Targeted at adolescents and above, the online game will be available on the company's portals - www.onlinerealgames.com and www.neodelight.com. It will also be available through over 50 aggregator portals in a week to 10 days from now. Online gamers opine that this game is quite unique as it helps everyone relate this fight to the real American election that concluded today. "I want to defeat McCain in this game because I like Obama. United States had different Presidents but not the one like Obama. His ways of working are different and does good work and that's why I like him," Abhi Bhattacharya, an online player of games.The Big Fight, the first such game to be developed in India, took three months to develop at a cost of 3.5 million rupees.
