**** I'm all for that idea, but I doubt we'll see it. Even though PLANET is in the Library of Congress for it's being an excellent film, I'm not so sure that the folks at the USPS would be as good to
it... The reason: Most of their commemorative stamps are "commercial" and I don't know if the appeal of PLANET is as widespread as it should be.... The USPS only see's dollar signs when they issue
these stamps, they don't care about true significance... And, with the R2-D2 mailboxes out there now, this certainly seems like it is a huge marketing gimmick, something I don't see happening for PLANET (not on
that large of a scale anyway...)
I think the only PLANET stamp we'll see is that one from Africa (that still pops up on eBay occasionally...)

and the boys could get a petition to make it all happen in a couple of weeks

Postal Force Joins
'Star Wars' The U.S. Postal Service plans to mark the 30th anniversary
of the release of the original Star
Wars with a commemorative set of stamps featuring characters from the
movie. The set, which will bear the new 41-cent first-class rate, is set to go
on sale on May 25, eleven days after the postage hike takes effect. USPS Stamp
Services director David Fallor told the BBC Wednesday, "We believe these
stamps have the potential of reaching the blockbuster status of the [1993]
Elvis stamp." Terms of the postal service's licensing deal with Lucasfilm,
which owns the rights to the Star Wars characters, were not disclosed.

-- There seems to
be a few tiny mistakes, like the name of the person playing Dodge according to
the web site is different from who they say plays him on the actual
audio.
I've actually
listened to this 3rd part and it is the best part so far but I think that is
because it sticks mainly to the Planet script and has very little of the 'extra
stuff' added by the writer.
Anyone else
bothered to listen yet?
Neil
Thanks Neil
Nice picture!
Isn't it LFTL not

-- I hate to keep
coming on and sounding like mister doom and gloom but do you really think they
would bother even listening. POTA may be an 'iconic' or 'classic' movie or
whatever you want to label it but it is not going to sell stamps. Star Wars
will, it is bigger, more popular and has a s**t load more fans who will be
willing to fork out money for stamps and stuff.
I'm sure some
groups will want to be seen to be making a big effort with this but it will all
be a waste of time and effort.

Right
after I dangle my nuts in a blender and switch it on.....
-- There seems
to be a few tiny mistakes, like the name of the person playing Dodge according
to the web site is different from who they say plays him on the actual
audio.
I've actually
listened to this 3rd part and it is the best part so far but I think that is
because it sticks mainly to the Planet script and has very little of the
'extra stuff' added by the writer.
Anyone else
bothered to listen yet?
Neil
Thanks Neil
Nice picture!
Isn't it LFTL not LOTL?

I'd
frankly stick to things we CAN do - like fan-made comics, stuff like
that.
I'd
also like to see the stamps but I am guessing we would need 10 000 signatures to
even get their attention and if we did, when they only sold 100 sets (as with
the trading cards and most everything POTA) we'd never get any mail after having
made such powerful enemas (or is that enemies?)! :)
I
agree it would be nice Rory and I'll sign any petition, but I can't see this
happening.
Michael
-- I hate to
keep coming on and sounding like mister doom and gloom but do you really think
they would bother even listening. POTA may be an 'iconic' or 'classic' movie
or whatever you want to label it but it is not going to sell stamps. Star Wars
will, it is bigger, more popular and has a s**t load more fans who will be
willing to fork out money for stamps and stuff.
I'm sure some
groups will want to be seen to be making a big effort with this but it will
all be a waste of time and effort.

From IMDB.com:
Postal Force Joins 'Star
Wars' The U.S. Postal Service plans to mark the 30th anniversary of
the release of the original Star
Wars with a commemorative set of stamps featuring characters from the
movie. The set, which will bear the new 41-cent first-class rate, is set to
go on sale on May 25, eleven days after the postage hike takes effect. USPS
Stamp Services director David Fallor told the BBC Wednesday, "We believe
these stamps have the potential of reaching the blockbuster status of the
[1993] Elvis stamp." Terms of the postal service's licensing deal with
Lucasfilm, which owns the rights to the Star Wars characters, were
not disclosed.
How about a 40th anniversary POTA US stamp
of the scene of the ruined Statue of Liberty? How do we start a
petition for that?

Anway, as far as the pictured stamp, as said, it is from Africa, but what country, I am not sure... I do own that stamp, so next week i may have to pull it out and look at it... As to why they made a stamp, who knows

annoying having to read through posts like that here, then have the
same people who make those posts turn around and act like the others

They
are taking many pot shots Rich - just not public ones. They are too
gutless to put a name to their actions.
And
they only get what they deserve.
They
have done a great deal of harm by their pretense that a quick 100 name petition
actually got Fox to release extended Battle. We all know how long it takes
to put a DVD release together and in the time it took to make the petition there
just wasn't enough time. Someone got the word they were releasing Extended
Battle and they drummed up the petition to make themselves look important.
It's a fucking disgrace Rich and if you think what they did is OK then we have a
strong difference of opinion. However, if I wish to make reference to it
it is my right, which you and certainly expect to find me exercising on my
group.
Neil
will confirm that "they" have been stirring up one hell of a lot of shit lately
Rich and how dare you accuse me of ACTING like the others are making the
trouble. That's unfair and inaccurate. Just because I am honest and
public in my opinions and they are sneaky and dishonest, you can't say they are
not stirring trouble.
I know
you stick with the popular crowd Rich, as you did when the Spanish Apes group
went all to hell (you and I exchanged a few emails where we were very concerned
about nothing moving forward, then you switched to the popular team at the
critical time), but your opinion here isn't worth much - I mean you would
have to classiy yourself as a taker on this group right? You sure as
hell don't contribute - well, except for this! Maybe I should be giving
you some advice?
Sorry,

is nothing new; I was more interested in hearing what new stuff they
had to add to the mix but thought the prologue came off a bit corny.
Still, I'll keep listening.

Neil, I looked up the post in question, and I see a pun, not an
attack, though I can see how the sensitivity of the situation might
cause it to be perceived as one, and as such it probably shouldn't
have been said. In any case, I have always seen you as a
level-headed, reasonable and intelligent guy, Neil, so I ask you
this. Putting aside anything that might have transpired in the past
and which "side" you ended up on -- do you really think the potshots
are necessary at this point? Do you think they do anything but make
the divisions worse and make those who sling them look immature and
spiteful? Do you see any point in dredging up the past and airing it

Well
stop contributing to it and instead email people privately if you have
a problem.
Or do
you think it will help matters to make a public attack?

Neil, I looked up the post in question, and I see a pun, not an
attack, though I can see how the sensitivity of the situation might
cause it to be perceived as one, and as such it probably shouldn't
have been said. In any case, I have always seen you as a level-headed,
reasonable and intelligent guy, Neil, so I ask you this. Putting aside
anything that might have transpired in the past and which "side" you ended
up on -- do you really think the potshots are necessary at this point? Do
you think they do anything but make the divisions worse and make those who
sling them look immature and spiteful? Do you see any point in dredging up
the past and airing it in public in order to get others who weren't there

When "the others"
used their "Lessons From the Lawgiver" to attack Neil and I in their usual sly
manner, we resorted to their tactics for a while.
Whenever I read the
title "Lessons From the Lawgiver" I wonder who would ever be so arrogant as to
use the Lawgiver's name in vain and make the Lawgiver a vessel for his own
hatred and stupidity. So I decided I could only really know if I did it
myself!
When Dave Ballard
left Neil and I mid-project because he had "a job promotion that would prevent
him from contributing to POTA for some time", we had to re-write a story that
was quite good, but probably could have been done in 5 or 6
pages.
Neil had started the
first 5 pages and we kept these intact, changing the text and the entire story
from there on.
When the first pages
of GOING HOME were released, instead of someone contacting us to ask what was
going on, James and the gang released a "Lessons From the Lawgiver" about a
"dim-witted neighbour" who had to copy things. This is typical of the attacks we
suffer - cloaked in innocence so that there can be plausible
denial.
But for those of us
who are neither stupid nor biased (or motivated by a desire to be with the "in"
crowd), the claimed coincidence is simply nothing but a cowardly attack, leaving
no avenue for defending oneself. Many of you here who have been gagged by
James know this is his style. Lake a public comment, the disallow your
capacity to retalliate.
So here's the take
on it that Neil and I had (notice we don't claim to BE the Lawgiver at any
time!):

-- Well where you
see a pun I see a pot shot. Maybe you could make the excuse for the guy that he
was using a pun if the person it was directed at was even on that group but he
wasn't / isn't.
The
person who posted it is one of that group's moderators, or at least he used
to be at one time. The posts over there are moderated or as it's stated in the
group description, all posts have to be approved. That means that the
other moderators over there approved it knowing full well that it was a pot
shot. Doesn't that say anything to you?
What you saw as a
pot shot on the DG the other day I just see as a running gag that we have had
going on here for quite a while now about a certain lame petition and
has been mentioned in the past by many members.
I also think you
are assuming too much if you read into any posts that 'we' are trying to make
people choose sides. The sides were chosen long ago I think, which is why we
have two separate active Apes groups where there should really only be
one.
Were you here the
other month when some nameless coward tried to cause trouble by referring a post
about Scrolls covers to that magazines writer? It wasn't me that started that
crappy little episode but the fact is somebody deliberately set out to cause
trouble, funnily enough just when the DG was running along more happily
than it had been for quite a while. You would probably just see that as a
coincidence or something though wouldn't you?
And really, If I
did want to dredge up the past and show what some people are really like I would
do something like posting the crap that went on in the Spanish Apes group. Chris
Lawless may have nuked that group but he didn't do it before I copied the
archived posts. I could also post a copy of an email that shows that a
certain person, who I used to think was a friend of mine in Ape
fandom, is in fact a 2 faced liar who says one thing to your
face whilst subtly assassinating your character behind your back in emails
sent to other people that he never expected to be seen by me. I could also post
copies of the emails to me which are full of insults and which say the nastiest
things about some of the comics I have done. I have chosen not to air that
stuff and plenty of other stuff. I could if I wanted to keep 'the fight' going
but I don't but others don't seem to be willing to let it go, it's a
problem on both sides.
You need to see
things for what they are amigo, I don't think it is fair for you to say in
response to a post on the DG that it's "very annoying having to read through
posts like that here" then brush of an insulting post on the POTA group as
"a pun, not an attack". Time to take the blinkers off I
think.

You
know T, we'd be just as happy to do our thing for any group...IF we could
trust them!
The
problem is, James is one enormous control freak. Now I have a mother who
is as bad and a good friend who is probably worse, but at least I can always
freely tell them and anyone else that what they are doing is controlling, and
not acceptible. However, James makes sure any criticism of him is met
with a gag. He won't allow healthy debate. He also makes outrageous
claims (like the "Battle was cut to get an extra screening in each day"
travesty) and pretends some imaginary authority figure (whose identity he can't
reveal) confided this in him.
This
sort of behaviour is much like Hitler's re-writing history.
It's a
very serious problem and it's bad enough to sit by and allow it - but to support
the guy is a crime. He's pure evil - and in such a way that even Satan
would not like the guy because he lacks the courage to put a name to his
chaos.
Yes, I
do get into scuffles, but (believe it or not) I do not enjoy them and nor do I
orchestrate them so I can claim to be king of all things POTA. Cougar and
Rory are the kings anyway! :)
Anyway - back to my point. Neil and I do NOT enjoy running the
group. We would if all this shit stopped and if it wasn't an all consuming
job. But it is a dirty, difficult task that I am sure (and happy!) none of
you here will ever understand. Some of the things we endure are just
stranger than fiction. One sick bastard even wrote a story that featured
Neil and I as a gay couple and involved my CHILDREN in it. Another (Chris
Lawless) nearly had me fired from my job because I sent emails to the group from
work. Not because he had a problem with me sending emails from work - but
to stop me from being available to respond quickly to posts (which is something
I used to pride myself on). This is how nasty and competitive it is.
Lawless also tells people I faked a brain tumour. This is an outright
lie. I have medical evidence that doctors found a growth on my brain and I
was shit-scared it could be life ending. It turned out to be nothing but
it was not contrived. And to make matters worse I had kept it from my
family and they found out by reading one of Lawless' emails. Of course
when Neil asked him what evidence he had to back this up, he had none. Of course
not - it's just another lie. Lawless is a bit of a stalker and that's why
I warn people about him. He kept sending me letters and clippings about
Bob Guccione because he found out I ran strippers for Australian
Penthouse in my wild days. And Neil and I waited 9 months after deadline
for him to write a comic - then he got savage with us because we didn't
wait any longer. He is very unstable in my opinion and very dangerous so
BE WARNED. He feeds his ego by hanging off the genuine players in the
POTA community (as do James and Shmutz) until he is seen for what he is and
then he becomes vindictive. What we Aussies call a GUNNER (always GUNNER
do this and GUNNER do that!).
So yeah - I'm so insane I nearly lost my
job to keep this group what it
is.

Oh, to be clear -- I'm not making excuses. As I answered in my

clearly opened a can of worms and caused some tension here, which was
not my intention. My apologies -- I'll say nothing more, except for this:

Neil, I'm going to ignore the tone of the last sentence because I've
no desire to meet sarcasm with sarcasm and elevate this, just as I
ignored a few unfair potshots taken at me following the Spanish Apes
debacle, back when I wasn't yet a member of this group. I also won't
comment on the other points because it would be hypocritical of me to
complain about airing issues here and then do so myself. I remember
the Spanish Apes group incident well, and what went on there got
ugly, yes,,,but those "blinkers" you accused me of wearing here, I
submit you might have been wearing there, because I saw the
antagonism coming from a different source than you apparently
did. But we'll have to agree to disagree here. For a long time
after the Spanish Apes incident, I was not a member of either group
because of all the fighting in both locations, something I chose to
avoid. I ultimately decided to join both groups because I'm a fan
and was interested in hearing what other fans had to say. I
apologize if my observation the other day has disrupted that -- it
wasn't my intention. I'll shut up now. <.html

sending emails from work - but to stop me from being available to respond
quickly to posts (which is something I used to pride myself on). This is
how nasty and competitive it is. Lawless also tells people I faked a

Sure, it may have drawn some attention to it (a big maybe on that) but still, I think they really released it as part of a "draw card" to their re-released DVDs...

That's a good question.
Obviously they don't find our criticism constructive,
or they would have stuck around. But since they
bailed I can't see how it can hurt. Must be nice
though to have time to polish that turd. But I don't
have the time to listen to it, so I can't tell if it's getting

So
Rich, while I have your attention, let me just ask you
something.
You
will recall the Spanish Apes group was a group of people I assembled as a team
to translate the Argentinian comics to English?
I
bought the comics (and paid an awful lot for them) and I even asked the group if
they wanted to contribute to the costs so I could get them and
share.
Dave
Ballard said he would scan the comics and enter the translated English text into
them.
You
said you would translate.
And so
it went.
Now,
I'm kind of a hippie in philosophy (or I try to be). I try not to carry on
about ownership and I try to share everything I have. Is that
Communism? Anyway, that's why I feel somewhat awkward when I
say:
"I bought the comics and assembled the team, so I have the final
say."
Now,
as awkward as this makes me feel - I think it is fair.
So
here's the question - is it fair for me to say that I paid for 'em and assembled
the team, so if I feel someone's dragging his/her ass I can replace
them?
This
is the basis of my opinion that I was treated incredibly unfairly so I would
like you to answer this. Neil, and anyone else here who was also involved,
would you please tell me what you think too please?
You
see the problem for me was that the project seemed to have been abandoned, and I
had other people waiting in the wings who were just as capable. For
example, Neil had originally wanted to do the scanning and scripting (as you
will he he did with Monkey Planet and did a far better job than Ballard did on
Spanish Apes IMHO). But I allowed Dave to do it. It was not a
sinister punishment that I wanted to give someone else a go, but that is how it
was painted.
Funnily enough, I paid for the comics, sent them straight to Dave, and I
have not seen them. He claims to have sent them to me but if he did I
never received them.

.html-- Just wanted to let everyone know that I have just spent half my
lifetime transferring folders and files from the Photos groups back to
the DG. ;-)
We now have much more storage space here and it is better to have
everything on the same group. I haven't quite finished but I need a
break! The rest of the stuff will be added over the next few days.
Whilst going through files I also found some DVD cover ideas that I
had previously only uploaded as rough pencil sketches but had since
tidied up and added proper titles to etc. These have now been uploaded
to the DVD Cover Ideas Folder.

Film classic Star Wars has lost its crown
as the world's best sci-fi movie.
George Lucas's Star Wars debut has been usurped by the
little-known 2005 title Serenity in a poll of sci-fi favourites.
Blade Runner, starring Harrison Ford, is third, following 1977
classic Star Wars.
Planet Of The Apes scoops fourth place, followed by Keanu
Reeves's film The Matrix and Sigourney Weaver's Alien.
Others in the top ten include Fifties classic Forbidden Planet,
Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and The Terminator, which launched
Arnold Schwarzenegger's career.
The Michael J Fox time-travelling classic Back to the Future
takes tenth place in the SFX magazine poll of 3,000 fans.
Serenity, about the crew of a spaceship of the same name, was a
spin-off from a short-lived US TV series.
SFX magazine editor Dave Bradley said: "Seeing Serenity topple
Star Wars as the UK's favourite sci-fi movie is a massive surprise.
"The TV show may have been cancelled, yet the Serenity universe
clearly struck a chord with fans, thanks to its likeable characters, witty
dialogue and amazing special effects.
"Our list features some really classic movies, many of which,
like Serenity, launched to no praise or applause at the box office, but have
lived on for many years thanks to the fans, and continue to influence today's
films and TV." <.html <.html

Can
you please send a link for these specific DVD covers?
-- Just wanted to let everyone know that I have just spent half
my lifetime transferring folders and files from the Photos groups back
to the DG. ;-) We now have much more storage space here and it is
better to have everything on the same group. I haven't quite finished but I
need a break! The rest of the stuff will be added over the next few
days.
Whilst going through files I also found some DVD cover ideas that
I had previously only uploaded as rough pencil sketches but had
since tidied up and added proper titles to etc. These have now been
uploaded to the DVD Cover Ideas
Folder.
Cheers,
Neil

.htmlNo problem. I'm sorry if it seemed like I was ignoring you. That
wasn't the case -- I have so little time to spend on e-mail these
days that I tend to skim what's posted and probably didn't see your
questions.
I did see your posts of the past day, but out of respect for the
group, I felt it best that I drop the issue and retract my statement
rather than cause further tension, and I still feel that way.
Before this whole incident of the past few days, what other questions
have youn asked me? If you recall what they were, feel free to ask
them again.

I'm certainly not averse to discussing it politely, Michael, but I
think we should do so off the group, so as not to drag everyone else
through what is now a dispute that is several years old and getting
foggier by the day in my near-40-year-old brain. I try not to be a
hypocrite, and after promising Neil I'd stop discussing it here, I
believe I should honor that promise. <.html

I understand your sentiments Rich - but when we have people like
Chris Lawless indoctrinating individuals by telling them I'm the kind of guy who
makes up stuff like being told I could have a tumour on my brain, I think we
should finally get the fact of the matter on PUBLIC record.
I
don't expect you to understand, but I think you would if you were in the same
position where someone is badmouthing you by lying to others and successfully
turning people against you because of it.
Neil
will excuse you from keeping your promise this time I'm sure...right
Neil?

namely, my lack of contribution. While it's true that I don't have
much time to post, I do feel I have contributed to POTA fandom.
Translating those Spanish comics was a lot of work (but worth it),
and I tracked down and purchased the elusive seventh issue so we
could complete the set. I also created my timeline website for fans
to read, which was a herculean task that took a few years, and I
encourage visitors to my site to join both POTA Yahoogroups. So
while I don't have the time I wish I had to discuss POTA, or to be as
active in fandom as folks like you, Neil, Greg, Kass, Hunter and the
Simian Scrolls team have over the years, I like to think I've
contributed and given something back in my own way. I'm pretty proud
of my timeline, and of the work we did on the Spanish comics -- I
think they came out great, and I'm happy to have copies of the
translated versions in my colletion, right alongside the Spanish
originals, which I bought from a guy in Argentina (that's how I got
#7).

-- Really? Makes
you wonder what sort of idiots, sorry I mean people, vote in these
things.
Neil
Film classic Star Wars has lost its
crown as the world's best sci-fi movie.
George Lucas's Star Wars debut has been usurped by the
little-known 2005 title Serenity in a poll of sci-fi favourites.
Blade Runner, starring Harrison Ford, is third, following
1977 classic Star Wars.
Planet Of The Apes scoops fourth place, followed by Keanu
Reeves's film The Matrix and Sigourney Weaver's Alien.
Others in the top ten include Fifties classic Forbidden
Planet, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and The Terminator, which
launched Arnold Schwarzenegger' s career.
The Michael J Fox time-travelling classic Back to the Future
takes tenth place in the SFX magazine poll of 3,000 fans.

-- I personally
thought you had every right to make decisions and ask questions especially when
things seemed to have stalled. It worked fine with 'Beast'. Other people even
questioned on the group why things were suddenly going slower than they had
been.
I don't think it
was right for people working on the project to get the hump and tell you they
would only work at their pace as they were doing it for free and out of the
goodness of their hearts as after all it was decided before the project began
that there was a timeline involved and a desire to get the comics out there and
available for the fans. For the first few issues it worked fine and even
Alan Maxwell, whom we were told was not to be relied upon to get something
completed, did a great job getting the covers cleaned and fixed up and only
slowed down that one time when his mouse was stuffed and had to be replaced or
something like that.
And like you say
you had other people lined up to do the various 'jobs' and when you
mentioned that it seems to me to have caused a couple of them to really get
the shits.
Neil
So
here's the question - is it fair for me to say that I paid for 'em and
assembled the team, so if I feel someone's dragging his/her ass I can replace
them?
This
is the basis of my opinion that I was treated incredibly unfairly so I would
like you to answer this. Neil, and anyone else here who was also
involved, would you please tell me what you think too please?

Yes I
totally agrees Rich - you have certainly done your bit and that's far more
than many have.
Sorry
if I used the wrong words, but I was specifically referring to my perception
that you have not contributed much to the POTADG recently. That's your
choice I know but it is my perception that you have not been taking the time to
contribute to posts and when it all comes down to it....again you probably do
contribute more than most.
I
guess I was angry that - as a snapshot - you have recently only posted about
once a month, but you do take the time to accuse me (ot the DG or whatever) of
being unfair to poor old James and Schmutz. I guess you would agree it
would have been far more effective had you ignored your urge to comment and
maybe just started up a new thread?
I
guess that's another frustration - what's left to talk
about.
As a
factual observation, not necessarily a criticism - I was lurking on the POTA
group recently and I noticed how they have dredged up really old threads that
have been discussed to death. Maybe we do that here too and as I said I am
not judging - it could be a good thing. But there are no new fans!
Just the same tired old bastards saying the same tired old things and what
for? WHO for?
Anyway Rich in summary it is patenly unfiar of me to
say you have not cintributed to POTA fandom and I apologise. I really was
just talking about recent times, and contextually making a comparison to what I
would have hoped you WOULD have used up your posting energy doing!
:) Sorry mate.
