[QUOTE="Rykion, post: 2802166, member: 33035"] I never said that it was the only valid interpretation, but I think being mostly naked, to the point of at least NC-17, is the most literal interpretation. Obviously, one of the strengths of books is that our imagination can fill in blanks, each in a way we prefer. I agree that any mainstream movie will definitely put clothes on the main characters, and I think that's a good thing as it opens the movies up to a wider audience. I'm really hoping a good John Carter of Mars movie comes out, so that producers might actually spend money on projects based on good pulp writers. I was mostly dissapointed by the Conan movies, and some of Lovecraft's work could make great movies rather than the very bad B ones that have been released. A more visceral Tarzan movie would go over well with me too. Producers please note that Casper Van Dien is not a good choice to play Tarzan. :uhoh: [/QUOTE]
