Get Me Rewrite!

Friday I mentioned I'd seen John Carter and pointed to my thoughts, which were not all that happy with the liberties that Andrew Stanton had taken with the original Edgar Rice Burroughs A Princess of Mars novel. Another fan offers some seat-of-the-pants story tweaking that would have simplified and considerably improved Stanton's movie while keeping a good portion of his take on the tale. I have to admit, I think I'd like to have seen that version.
