Yup, everything I've heard is that it's a pretty good "popcorn movie."

This still cracks me up. I'm sure you mean 24/7/52

Nope, 24 hour a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, slightly redundant, but having a backup never hurts.
Just reread the first few chapters while at the Chiropractor/Acupuncturist, and the "leather" worn by the green men in the movie is presented as pretty much the universal attire of ALL denizens of Barsoom. Would have made the movie more interesting for me.
