Well...according to the settlement, _Demon with the Glass Hand_ invented the Terminator.

I think it was as much the OL Soldier script and AM from "I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream" as Cyberdyne. It seemed a pretty direct "I changed one greeblie so it's not a recast " to me.

Re: John Carter
Before last night, I would have answered: I don't understand why some guy with a boring Earth name is fighting in some other universe. The CGI didn't look bad to me, I just didn't know enough about the character or the story to get me to the theater or interested in renting it.
Last night, to celebrate school being out, my family was searching through On Demand movies and the movies we all would watch and had to decide between were: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Back to the Future, The Last Starfighter and... John Carter.
After watching all the trailers the boys picked John Carter.
We LOVED it. All of us. Even my 14 year old who was at first complaining about all the science issues ended up sticking around instead of bailing on us like he often does when he gets bored.
So - marketing and title was a big problem getting us to the theater. Very glad we did finally watch it.
And actually, I don't know if it would have been as enjoyable if I had known going in what it was about. I had no idea he was going to be on MARS. (sorry, just not up on all the old sci-fi books/history) So when he started to walk and jump and was super strong, it was really a fun surprise. Maybe knowing that ahead of time would have gotten me to watch sooner, but not been as fun? Hard to say.
Not just adults, my 14 year old didn't want to see it at first because of his low expectations from Disney. As I said above, our whole family loved it.
I don't know - I had a little bit of that going in, but once I got it in my head when this was written, I was fine.
That is probably right on. Very sad for the creative types, though. And for those who want creative type movies.

Re: John Carter
Notice how the marketing geniuses struck again with a terrible picture of the main character on the DVD cover? They just can't stop...:unsure
I thought it had some genuinely great moments.

Re: John Carter
Unfortunately it won't. The series MIGHT get a reboot a few years down the road but I wouldn't even count on that.

Re: John Carter
So you're saying that you know all about John Carter then?
Or were you trying to say that you "know nothing" about John Carter?

Re: John Carter
well I just know about some of artwork I seen over the years. Other than that I didn't know any info about John Carter of Mars universe before watching the movie. And I don't know if the movie follows the books, but I still enjoyed the movie.

I think he was being smarmy about the double negative in your original post.

Re: John Carter
Yep - and as everybody should know, that's MY bag, baby. Demarcation dispute! :lol
I tried to watch JC again on a flight last week. Unfortunately the plane's server crashed a third of the way in. I'd really like to give it another chance, but it seems this movie and me are just not gonna happen. :unsure
