I remember the John Carter books from when I was a kid. Not seen the film yet but I should imagine it’s over the top with CGI effects for the sake of it.
Meantime, I noticed that “Princess of Mars” was on TV this weekend, another John Carter movie, starring Traci Lords (and if you don’t know her history, this is not the place where I’ll tell you).
I love good animated cartoons, but refused my daughter’s offer to go to Avatar (characters are ugly!) I still plan to see Tangled even tho I missed it at Imax; I’ll get the 3D DVD.
weak box office for the opening of john carter, and most critics are comparing it to ishtar, which makes today’s strip impressive, since pab must have submitted it weeks ago!
@ Stephen Gilberg: yes I am, ever since I took film arts in college… Big fan of Harold Lloyd, Lon ChaneySr.and Buster Keaton’s work to name a few. And of course, Chaplin.
Jimmy Carter saw the hold oil had on us and tried to divert us to renewable energy 30 years ago. Imagine if we had followed his lead how better off we would be today. Instead we got another Republicant simpleton, Reagan, who caused the S&L bankruptcies, Iran Contra and had the most indicted co-conspirators of any administration in history!

It was the alien, the one with the arms and the floppy ears, it looked like Jar Jar Binks. Nuff to turn me off the movie with out even seeing it.

cost about $250 million to make. Brought in about $30 mill. Was beat out by the Lorax (in its 2nd week) by about $4 million.

“The Artist” sucked more than “John Carter” which shows critics don’t know what they’re watching or they’re taking payola..

“John Carter” made $70 mil overseas. I think the jury is still on on whether nor not it’s a flop.
