Blade Runner came out thirty years ago and we're still talking about it because it was a great, multi-layered story told with superb style. John Carter won't have that kind of longevity at all, and will fade from memory with only an occasional thread by Chrisisall to remind us.

Firefly's longevity is 10 years with no sign of slowing down.
John Carter previews weren't very interesting to me. :(
Then I took a look at Taylor Kitsch on YouTube to see if he is a socially redeeming feature.
He came across as a model with a pleasant manner. No big deal.

Chris, you and I do agree on some things (Blade Runner is a great movie!), but a lot of your other favorites I think are mediocre at best. I actually hope I am wrong that John Carter won't be successful, both now and in the future, but I doubt it. I'm not sure why, but I actually have the inclination to reread A Princess of Mars. Considering I didn't care for it the first time, that's saying something.

Well, it's not as good as Escape from New York.

My ranking of the key Carpenter films (excluding Halloween, which Im not fond of):
Escape from LA < Escape From New York < Big Trouble in Little China < The (motherfuckin') Thing.
I really love The Thing, BTW.
Spoon!
