The Age of Kitsch Is Upon Us

The new Disney action-adventure movie John Carter is not enjoying the best word of mouth, sight unseen, but that doe
sn’t mean you should dog on its star, Taylor Kitsch.

I mean, not that you could.

This is (was?) supposed to be the Friday Night Lights alumnus’ big-time welcome into the Hollywood scene, y’ know. Now, the once-much-anticipated flick has turned into a cautionary tale for overtly ambitious studios in flux.

Here’s to hoping John Carter surprises everyone, though.

If it has an untapped strength, that’s the to-be-discovered appeal of the Kitsch.
