Yeah, haven't read the books, but I somehow can't see that 1910/20s Sword&Planet stuff can be made into a faithful movie if it has "DISNEY" attached to it, considering that the original material is probably all kinds of politically incorrect by Hollywood mainstream standards these days.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Oh, and I preferred Hunchback over Lion King. :P

I guess John Carter will be about as entertaining as the Godzilla remake and the Transformers movies.

Does anyone know if "John Carter of Mars" is worth watching? The labels "Disney" and "3D" are a bit offputting.

The buzz is that it will be a catastrophy. I suspect it will be a decent evening out and worth watching in a theater. And it's changed name to "John Carter" since studio execs have no sci fi credentials.
Yeah.  From what I've read the studio are stressing about it.  It had a huge budget and a relatively unknown director and cast.  It's not got any geek excitement going (and apparently they've tried to court that), Disney isn't a studio associated with the sort of film it looks like it'll be and there's been numerous changes to the name in an attempt to find a 'market'.

It could be great, but it looks like it was made by committee.  Badly.

When I first saw the trailer, I felt that it would be worth watching.

Wouldn't the more natural Disney movie to compare John Carter with be Tarzan?

John Carter....even if it was great it seems destined to flop.
I say the odds are it won't be great.
Hopefully it'll be so bad its good in a Battlefield Earth sort of way.

I've watched the first season/series of Black Books.

I like it.

That's my second favourite show of all time, just after Arrested Development.
