FWIW, I watched the “Tracy Lords” remake and to say it was a disaster would be an understatement.
They tried to be too literal. Because we now know that Mars would not support intelligent life as it currently exists, they decided to make it a planet we named “mars” that orbits a distant star, and inject technology into the story to get the guy there.
John Carter is a real sleeper. Awesome story. Great special effects, acting, cinemetography, etc. I really enjoyed it. And the “dog” is a hoot!
I haven’t heard that name in a while.
