I look forward to the movie.

Course, if it doesn't do well, I also look forward to Dynamite using this to shut down ERB's attempt at stopping them from doing the Warlord of Mars and Lord of the Jungle comics with a Nelsonish "HA HA!"

No when I took my Mom to see Star Wars 3D there was a 3D preview of The Lorax so I was curious. Why would you think that?

LOL, I don't know. My kids like 3D (and saw The Lorax 3D preview at SWE1 3D), but the ticket prices are just ridiculous. I never saw Avatar in 3D, but based on what movies I have seen, 3D animation works so much better than 3D live action.

Based on the previews and Star Wars (admittedly a conversion job) I agree. The so-called 3D was sort of useless or slightly annoying in the preview for The Hobbit and the other stuff, but The Lorax preview was very psychedelic.

I still want to see it. I don't give a shit if it tracks well or not.

I'll be honest here; when I saw how much clothing Dejah was wearing, I started to think that this is maybe the sort of movie that Disney shouldn't the fuck be making.

I mean, goddamn it, this is some real Frank Frazetta type shit, and they've dumped mouse shit all over the content. Somebody needs their goddamned heads chopped off, and Dejah needs her titties hanging out. Plus, like...I dunno...Martian Lions with six goddamned legs and whatever. This is horseshit.

I mean, like rdrswhatever (or whoever) said, I can't even tell this shit is supposed to be on Mars.

Not that you would be able to, from a purely scientific point of view; Mars doesn't really look that different from your typical rocky badlands on Earth. But that's not the fuckin' point.

Like when Sean Hayes came out. And yet, some people were surprised. :shock:

As a huge ERB fan, I can not wait to see John Carter!

Just not this one.

Hundreds of thousands of movies have spun off of the ideas Burroughs created all those many years ago. One after another, they've just diluted the core concept of 'likeable guy stuck in an action story set in a strange place'.

All Disney seems to have done with this film is to copy the copy of the copy of the copy of the copy of the etc etc etc rather than the focus on the original concept that helped create the science fiction genre in the first place.
