The setting always felt too scattershot; like Burroughs just threw in everything and anything without regard to how it could possibly actually fit together.Desdichadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14774274812688958457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-15139957737822828372009-05-25T13:44:44.261-04:002009-05-25T13:44:44.261-04:00J Allen St John did that cover.

When I finally watched it, campy though it was, the images were the same as I remember them. Even though the film is a much truncated version of the book, there is some primal stuff going on there...I can see how Burrough's writing could be inspirational, "breezy" though it might be.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-9651342759758965342009-05-25T00:40:16.337-04:002009-05-25T00:40:16.337-04:00On an entirely unrelated note, I love the name "Pe...On an entirely unrelated note, I love the name "Pellucidar". It makes your mouth feel good to say it. Also, it's just strange enough to feel fantastic while still sounding like it could be the name of a real place.Rachel Ghoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765944479141792643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-1905958166236529222009-05-25T00:04:44.248-04:002009-05-25T00:04:44.248-04:00I'd never heard of that last bit.
