John Carter of Mars

Have you read the books?  Looking forward to the film?  Have any idea what I am writing about?


Of course we're talking Disney films here, so it will probably not look like this.  I read the books many years ago and was a rabid fan even though they were already dated at the time.  There was a fresh and unique quality that made them stand out.  I mean, when you consider at the time Burroughs wrote the series there was little to the genre aside from Jules Verne.  Another favorite of mine.

Unlike "The Artist" which will never be seen on a screen here unless it wins an Oscar, I am sure this film will open in first run when released.

And so it goes.
