That Silent Running cover is awesome enough for me to order it on that basis alone! Looks fun.

There's a Steelbook version too

[manunited1]

I am still very curious to check out John Carter, I have just never found it at a cheap price point for a movie with such bad reviews. All in all though it does not take the most amazing sci Fi to suck me in. I even kind of enjoyed the new Christian Slater movie Stranded...
