  1. They really should have called it “John Carter of Mars”. I remember the final title just flat-lining with anybody I talked to about it.

  2. Yeah. The rationale given for dropping “of Mars” makes little sense. Did you see all the talk in the comments on alt. titles for “Brazil”? Hilarious.

  3. The modern 87 screeen megaplex doesn’t have room on the marquee for more than one word per movie. So any interesting titles are going to get shortened.
