The movie John Carter, based on the series of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs that date back to 1912, is scheduled to hit theaters this Friday. Geeks Are Sexy talked to director Andrew Stanton about the challenges of turning the classic character and his stories into a modern film.

To Stanton’s mind, this kind of “Clark Kent” simplicity regarding John Carter was the biggest challenge facing himself (and co-writers Mark Andrews and Michael Chabon) when penning the film. Though Stanton claims the overall story is more complex, with the warring factions and the lack of resources and whatnot, the John Carter character, at his core, is pretty simple and straightforward. There isn’t much character development in the novel at all. So the challenge was to get this cut-and-dry story of “rescue heroism”, about a guy who has a “noble quality related to justice being served, and getting involved,” into a story with relationships and characters that an audience could relate to.

some kind of handle
Right ?
Really?
I think it's a concave surface on the top to fit on the eye, with the extension on the back to partially block the eyelids from closing and to fit the light. With this mechanism you'll maybe be able to keep your victim from sleeping (due to the intense light) and ultimately dry out the eyes leading to permanent damage of the eyes.
see? that wasn't so hard.
"Uncle Benjamin, where did you bury the money?"
'oooo-ooooo, I'mmmmm deeeead, ooooo'
"Its me your nephew Charley, where is the money uncle Benjamin?
'ooooooooo, its daaaaaark heeere, oooooooo'
And so on.
i saw something like it only a pyramid shaped one. below deck on old ships it was dark. and this may be one of those things that worked like a mini sky light. you put the narrow end above to catch the light and the wide end to disperse it below.
actually, maybe a small coffee table, or end table of some sort?
