we’re watching JOHN CARTER and thus far it isn’t bad just...generic? Willem Dafoe is good though as a green Martian warlord guy.

yeah, it’s written and directed as a standard-issue action adventure but it really should to be stranger and more fantastical than it is. it needs a big heaping pinch of whatever was happening with VALERIAN https://twitter.com/joshbeall10/status/1265803707142340608?s=21 https://twitter.com/joshbeall10/status/1265803707142340608

yes! i am a known SPEED RACER apologist but i think it’s such a great example of unapologetically embracing a premise and running with it https://twitter.com/fortrevorafter/status/1265805256287555584?s=21 https://twitter.com/fortrevorafter/status/1265805256287555584

now that i’m thinking about it what JOHN CARTER needs is unhinged insanity of JUPITER ASCENDING

dial this movie up to that level of craziness (“bees are genetically designed to recognize royalty”) and i think you have something great on your hands
