Actually that's what I'm saying. The new film is a complete reboot that inhabits a different POTA universe than the original films.

I think whomever did the subtitles just got it wrong. The script says Aldo.

First, FOX has never called the film a prequel. It has been dubbed a prequel by internet bloggers.

Second, how can it be a prequel if the characters are different. Using the Star Wars films as an example, the Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequel trilogy is the exact same character as the Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original films. Same is true of the characters of Yoda, Jabba the Hut and Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker. However, the characters of Landon, Dodge and Stewart featured in Rise are not the same characters as those in the original Planet. Even the George Taylor mention in Rise has to be a different Taylor than the one in Planet because his mission leaves in the 21st century not in 1972.

This film is a reboot of the POTA franchise like Batman Begins and Casino Royale were reboots of those franchises. And like those reboot films, Rise is an origin story but that doesn't automatically make it a direct prequel to the 1968 film any more that Batman Begins is a prequel to the Adam West Batman or Casino Royale is a prequel to Dr. No.

Overall I think Rich Handley summed it up best a few months ago:

> Pretty good script, if a little rough. I think the writers, director and actors will hopefully finesse it (Lithgow said they're receiving rewritten pages on set). So it might change significantly from this Jan. 2010 draft. I think they've rejigged the romance to make it stronger (judging from the photos we've seen). And the owner of the "Ape Ranch" and his son (Brian Cox and Tom Felton) aren't in this. So they were added, maybe removing "Dodge" and "Landon". Basically this script was before the director arrived, so mucho changes could happen. There is a lot of ape action in this script. I think they will probably cut some to give the CG folks a break. The script could be streamlined a bit and the more interesting aspects developed further (too much "Project X", not enough character development).

This doesn't work as a prequel to the original but it's very respectful to the past films, without parroting lines (though "damn dirty ape" gets in there, but works). I'm impressed.

You're amazing, Al.  First you're obsessed with getting a projector to watch APES as big as you can, now you're happy to watch APES on a screen the size of your palm!

 

Personally, I don't get how anyone can want to watch a tiny little screen.  They just don't hold my attention.

I just do not get the fascination with microscoptic film viewing and lossy audio. Its amazing but unless its job oriented I think your money would be better spent on updating and tweaking your home theater(a better screen). Does every moment of our time must be filled with technological doodolings. I guess your more in tune with my kids generation(23-26) than mine (50). I ofcourse understand and support what a person wants to do with their time and money is definitly their business but when I, an Apes fan, has desposable money I improve my audio/video system that by the way does not require a magnifying glass and ear buds. Im not at all picking on you Alex, your great its just what I see lately is so much computer driven drivel. What happened to size, scope, dynamism. I guess im alittle out of step but I do know how to operate all these new gagets and I do keep myself abreast of it all but as a movie guy I would love an entire film on 35mm on the sideway reels so that a film did not require a reel change and great 1950s stlye 2 and 3 channel sound. As entertainment goes we went backwards and as technology we went forward but we rarely impliment it in an intellectual fashion. Just venting, nothing personel to anyone here, take care .John M....

Honkers.jpg
Honkers-59690.jpg

 

So two or three weeks ago I see that Encore Westerns is showing something called THE HONKERS from 1972 starring James Coburn.  I've never seen it (It's one of three rodeo pictures released in '72, this one shot in a small New Mexico town in late summer, 1971) and I like James Coburn, so I record it on my DVR. 

 

Watching it, there comes a shot of Coburn pulling up in front of a movie theatre, his character looking for a girlfriend that works there, with the 1971 film THE HUNTING PARTY on the marquee... but I spotted something else.  Can you see it in this screen grab?

Happy Friday the 13th! This week's installement of APE CITY CHRONICLES is now available.

I use 99% to clean the heads on the tape deck. I got it at Tom Thumb, but it says Safeway on it. No more Safeway's here. I never sealed mine, though it probably would have made getting it out easier. That's the real bitch with the thin edges and all. I didn't drill sprue holes either. I just let it overflow. I didn't have any sort of foam injector. Just poured from the bowl. The worry there's bubbles. I baked it with the lifemask face down in the mold -- since any bubbles are likely to rise, and the outside shows, that's what counts. A little patience goes a long way when taking it out. Since mine wasn't sealed the nose wanted to stick and the bridge of it wanted to rip. I understand Zira's was especially difficult since it's even thinner. The reject I was sent has a bubble that caused a loss of part of the lower lip, but it also had a sort of stocking like lining to it. Not sure if it's the same as the special precaution Chambers took, or Apemania's version of that. I tried to resculpt the missing lower lip in wax, but never made a cast of it since resources were limited. Here's pics of my attempt at sculpting and of the recasts of Apemania's Cornelius and Gorilla.

On a 7ft screen a bluray should look fine being its not much larger than the largest flat screen. The projector though has to be good quality and you will pay for quality. If your happy then its great, Im not their to see it, but a good projector fully calibrated will cost close to 5-10 grand but they are amazing and once you see them you never want to look at your stuff ever again(I know, it happened to me). I dont mean to be critical but ive done installations for years and the old adage "you get what you pay for" usually does apply here. Take care Alex..John M...

I agree that its a fine unit with alot of fine tune parameters, but the market would not be loaded with mega-buck projectors if they did not sell. If you had seen properly set up units in high end stores you would realize what I mean. If you honestly cant tell the difference then your blind or blessed (LOL).. Im always on the lookout for the next big improvement. My 50inch cost a few thousand dollars and nothing outside of a five thousand dollar unit can touch it. Calibration is a big deal and if you were to calibrate the optima it would get you about another 40% closer to greatness. The optima is flexible so it should respond well. I only tell you this because your happy with it and for a little more investment(screen and calibration) you will indeed be near nirvana. Take care John M...
