Just saw John Carter in glorious 2D. [They put the 2D sessions on at the most inconvenient times (I believe that the closing credits are the only part of the film where you get any actual benefit from 3D - all the rest is CGI modified 2D).] Great film. Makes me want to ressurect my Martian D&D game (although that owes slightly more to Michael Moorcock's Mars trilogy than Edgar Rice Burroughs). It hewed relatively closely to the spirit of the books, produced, written, and directed by someone who plainly loved them and wanted the experience to be as authentic as possible. And the good news is that there is a new costume idea for all the Slave Leias, that being Wedding Dress Dejah. That only leaves the Carson of Venus series untapped.

"Perhaps you had better stand behind me."

Well yes. That's what makes them interesting. It's why I'm addicted to heroines. <grin>

It's interesting to work out when women stopped being competent in the movies. I suspect it was the very early 1960s.
