That image is from John Carter of Mars, right? I'd always meant to see that, but it just kind of slipped away from me. I've heard it was underappreciated.
John Carter of Mars is a funny thing. I watched it, and it just seems so boring, so derivative of other, better movies... which is ironic, because the source material actually is what inspired a lot of those movies to begin with.
