Saw "John Carter" on a wim and was all prepared to hate it. Surprisingly didn't. Thought it was pretty good! Recommended!

I read most of the books years ago and the move did them justice. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie and hop it starts doing better at the box office as I'd love to see a sequel or two. With all the Tarzan movies made, and even The Land That Time Forgot movies in the 70s, it's surprising it took so long to make a movie from Burroughs John Carter series. But I guess they had to wait for movie technology to catch up to even begin to show the fantastic things in those books
 
Agreed. I recently re-read all of the John Carter series (and have started in on the Pellucidar series...that would be a great one to make a movie out of, too!). All of Burrough's works are now public-domain, and can be downloaded (FREE!) in various formats from Gutenberg.org: All Books (sorted by popularity)
 
Written back in the late 1910's, through the 1920's. So keep that in mind when you read them. The subtle differences between 100 years of social changes, etc, really make themselves known at times.

They did make a Pellucidar movie in the the 70s "At the Earths Core" with Doug McClure and Caroline Munro. Terrible movie!.. I expected much better with Doug McClure in it after he was in the The Land That Time Forgot/The People That Time Forgot series, but the only redeeming feature was Caroline Munro's costumes and what they didn't cover.

Most of the Burroughs works are available for free as mp3 audio books at librivox.org which is an origination that had volunteers read books in the public domain. It's amazing what they have available for download, just about any public domain book you can think of. I've gotten just about every thing Burroughs has written along with Conan-Doyle, H.G. Wells, Twain, and many others. Makes a long commute to work go a lot faster.

Here's a link LibriVox

Thanks T-Bolt, I'd forgotten all about the ample charms of scream queen Caroline. Unfortunately we in the colonies can only look on jealously from afar as she sells off her memorabilia to her fans in the UK: :cry:

Here is a post announcing a meet the fan moment at the end of March: I am posting for any of our Friends in the mother country who may wish to be our surrogates:

from: Come and meet me in Birmingham | Caroline Munro Official Fansite

"Because I have downsized I no longer have a spare room where I stored all my photos and memorabilia. I am having a sale of all my old photos and memorabilia many of the items are original as well as the new stuff. Come along to a hotel in Solihull, Birmingham on Saturday 31st March between 6 - 8 pm and grab yourself a bargain or 2. Prices start from as little as £1 so there will definately be something for everyone. Please let me know on [email protected] if you'll be coming. I need to know by Friday 30th March as the hotel need to know numbers. To secure a place I need a £10 deposit which you can use towards anything you buy and then you will be told the Hotel and address. You can pay £10 into my Paypal account [email protected] or a cheque for £10 to Caroline Munro, P.O. Box 2589, London W1A 3NQ
See you there!
Caroline xxx"

For those who care to take a stroll down memory lane, I've attached a mosaic of her including shots of her from Bond film appearance, one recent 2008 photo as well as a photo to demonstrate this forum thread remains about "past things with wings." :lol: For me, she has always been a bit like walking nose art. :shock:

Correction: Last photo of winged head is NOT Caroline Munro in Star Crash but rather of Sybil Danning in Battle Beyond the Stars. :oops:

I found it to be both very sobering, and very different in content and style than its ETO counterpart: Band of Brothers...

Secrets of the Deep, episode 2: 'Black Friday' - with recovery of parts of the allied Beaufighters from Førde Fjord, Norway.
Excellent documentary about the allied attack - Black Friday - on the german destroyer Z33, who was seeking shelter in Førde Fiord, Norway, in 1945, and the discovery of several of the Beaufighters both on land and in the fiord.
