My avatar is a fun appetizer. Lynn Collins is a four-course meal. She's reminiscent IMO of Olivia Munn mixed with Shannon Doherty and topped off with a little Dita Von Teese. I would suck her meat curtains until I died of terminal chapped-lips.

Wow, I really want to go see this.

As a general rule, I dislike movies that screw around with the origin stories. That 10 minute deal seems to take some liberties, but it's darn close and ERB could certainly have written it that way, I guess.

Anyhow, I think they're doing justice to Carter's attitude (which is his coolest attribute). This might be really good.

I don't really understand why they made the changes, though. I mean, it wouldn't cost any more to shoot it they way it was written. In fact, it would probably cost less.

Maybe they thought this immediate conflict with the army and the trading post dudes helped establish the character a little faster?

One touch they left out that I really missed were the instructions to ERB regarding the crypt or tomb. I always thought that was a cool idea ... kind of set the tone, if you will.

Mr. FAX I don't want to spoil any aspect of the movie, so:

Spoiler!

All you do is put spoiler with brackets around it, with a slash in the second bracket before the word spoiler.

Thanks, Mr. tk13. That was pretty easy ... no wonder I was clueless.

Yeah I was looking forward to that as I am re-reading the first book right now, but I understand that different medias require slightly different stories. As long as it is faithful to the author and treats the characters with integrity I will be pleased.

I get that, but that's a different relationship then I expected between Powell and Carter. Still very cool though.

I have to admit, I was cracking up at the scenes of him in confinement in the 10 minute teaser.

I haven't read the books but the two other projectionists who watched the IMAX screening said that the film was pretty faithful as far as they recalled, although it did go into more detail and explanation than the books and included stuff from more than one book. I think films naturally call for a simplification of storytelling, as you only have 2 hours to tell the tale. However, even though I'm a book reader and a sci-fi buff, I still had to pay attention to follow the plot. It's definitely not "kiddied down", despite the fact that it's Disney.

I have to watch the film again. I'm not sure I paid enough attention to Lynn Collins. :whackit:

I think this was going to be about Sean Carter.

I'll probably wait and catch this on BR (like most movies). However, I noticed that some of the books are free on Amazon, so now I have some reading to do before it comes out. :thumb:

Reviews are sort of mixed, but the "Geek" crowd seems to love it.
