Barsoom or Bust: Bow down and be humbled, fools!

[kali921]

So, I have a ton of links to post about Andrew Stanton's collaboration with Disney for the upcoming John Carter of Mars films, particularly about the fact that there's some rather horrific whitewashing going on in the casting of the Red Martians in the same way that the cast of the live-action Avatar film is being whitewashed

Mmmmm, sugar flavored apocalypses.

NOT IN MY BARSOOM, THANKS. I want spurting blood! Radium guns! Huge air navies trying to invade Helium with pitched battle after battle! Five-alarm sex on the floor! Vast and picturesque vistas of an ancient world!

Eighth ray!

YES. The River Iss! Mors Kajak! Horz! The Kaldanes! The Plant Men of Valley Dor and their problematic dentition!

(Dude, I was sitting here going through the books, and I forgot that the Thark carry spears that are forty feet long.)

Uh, they carry those on thoats, right? Because aren't Tharks about a third that height?
