John Carter

I've been waiting for this movie pretty much since I picked up the first book in the series when I was eleven. There are early reviews all over the place, and while some are positive, others trash it pretty darned hard. I wasn't sure what to expect.

So -- here's the good news.

John Carter Trailer

As I mentioned awhile back, I read a lot of Edgar Rice Burroughs when I was a kid. I've been really excited and apprehensive about the upcoming movie John Carter, based on Burroughs' Mars series, and scheduled for release in March. A trailer came out today. Check it out.

Does that look cool, or what? It looks like they're being pretty faithful to the books, as far as the look of the Barsoomians and the content of the story is concerned. Of course, you can never tell until you actually see the movie. I'm crossing my fingers.
