Saw the movie John Carter

Checked out "John Carter" this weekend. Great story, great movie. More so given knowing that Burroughs practically invented the genre. Had my involuntary "this is really cool" smile face on several times while watching, along with some moments of tragedy. :salute: Long live John Carter.

You must also realize that your minds' eye is what generates your 'visuals' of what you are reading. Though a book can be well written, it is still words and not media. Your imagination must be INCREDIBLE if that movie didnt meet your expectations. The imagination is an incredible thing. Joyce Meyers calls it the 'mind lands', a world inside the mind, or perhaps a place that the mind can go to....


I remember reading one page from Walt Wittman (I hope thats his name) how he could talk about a morning, the sunlight, etc... I guess the better the writing, the more your mind see's, but you are still making the images yourself. ;)

I'm unapologetic is my preference for books. I love movies, but I'm not invested in them the way I am in the written word.
