Just a question for the group.Are there any members of the group that had a
letter published in the 70s "POTA" magazine?

If so,have your views changed over the years or are your feelings on
whatever
you wrote in about the same?

I just thought it'd be something to toss out to the group.

Funny you should ask this.  I was just talking last night privately with
another member of this group.

Yes, I had letters published in the 70's Marvel Magazines.  No my views
haven't changed, and yes, I was arguing with other fans the same shit I've
been arguing here.

I guess I'll just never grow-up when it comes to POTA.

Also, I wrote those letters back in the caveman days before VCRs, so I only
had my memories of the films to go on, so I did get some things wrong back
then concerning like the dates in Taylor's spaceship.   I knew this would
come back to haunt me.

Robert Rodriguez, director of the new "Spy Kids"said:

" I have to really feel a project in my heart. I turned down directing
"Superman Lives" and "X-Men". "Planet of the Apes" came my way at one point,
and I said no. I would have taken "Spiderman". He's one of the few comic
heroes that I really enjoy. But you go meet with a studio over these big
films and you realize it's not a movie. It's a big corporate project. It's a
pre-sold idea. I don't like to close my eyes and know it's a home run. I
want to invent something...I want to be there before McDonald's has signed
on..."

I believe Rodriguez was James Cameron's choice to direct "Apes".

Wow the picture of the water is a nice effect!

.html A costume for the female gorilla was made, as was the gorilla boy (Felix Silla).  The female out fit is the same pattern as Zira's tunic, only there is no leather on it ('cept for the glyph in the center of the breast, and two claspes holding the front together). I have a frame grab somewhere that a fan sent in that shows one of the females (chimp or gorilla?) turned toward the camera with a dark or black face.  It's hard to tell if it's a chimp painted dark in the face or actually a gorilla sculpt.  I'll hafta ask John Chambers next time I visit him.  Hopefully he'll remember.

Just lately this e-group seems to be suffering from an attack of a form of
Political Correctness where many people are afraid or at least wary of
saying what's on their mind for fear of offending a certain individual or
individuals.

If you were in a bar with a crowd of your friends you wouldn't beat around
the bush when making a point and if one of your pals said something you
didn't agree with you'd probably laugh and buy him a drink.

This e-group should be like a chatty crowd of friends in a bar not a sulky
WWF grudge match! So let's stick together and at least be tolerant of one
anothers views.

Let's cut all this "I don't wish to offend so and so" ... "Please don't take
this the wrong way"... "I'm not having a go at XX personally."

Let's all just say what we want to say and keep our fingers crossed that
it'll be read by a reasonable, thinking adult.

Oh yeah, I sure hope I didn't offend any fans of WWF

Hi Rory!
How are you doing today? Hope good! Well guess what?
My little brother loved Beneath!! :) I sort of thought
he wouldn't like it since it delt with those mutant
humans and he might find them a bit strange but he
really got into the whole movie. He is 11 years old so
he is used to watching Pokemon and Digimon and I
honestly didn't think he would get into the POTA
movies, but he did and that makes me happy. So next
week we got Escape planned. Oh he did watch a little
of the tv movies I have on tape and he liked Galen. :)
He is getting all excited about the new one in
theatres this summer so my husband and I are taking
him and my mother to see it. So we are making it a big
family event. LOL

But go back ten years, and you'll see Burton has a history of getting
high profile franchise gigs from studios, only to subvert them, which
usually leads to him packing it in and heading to another
studio. "Batman Returns", anyone? Good or bad, "Planet of the Apes"
(2001) is likely to not be cookie cutter formula. "Planet of the
Apes 2", on the other hand . . .

Hey Brian,

I just wanted to let you know that I love your site. You guys must have a lot
of fun. If I ever win the lottery I am going to buy a bunch of stuff from you
and turn my basement into "The Forbidden Zone." I wish I lived in California
so I could either attend one of your events or convince you to take me in as
an ape-prentice. Very cool stuff!

On a semi-related note, I noticed that the buyer that you had the dispute
with over the Medicom Cornelius has left you some negative feedback on eBay.
He did switch the pics from your auction so now the green suited Cornelius is
showing, which doesn't put you in the greatest light. What a rat!

That was a given.  After numerous unanswered e-mails and  filing complaints  and neg feedback with eBay, I knew he would retaliate, just his nature.  No sweat off my nose, I'm not into eBay for the feedback anyway.  It certainly isn't a living or a main source of income for us, that's for sure.  To some people it is, desperate as it may seem.  I just don't think they should do it dishonestly.

People love our products and we never attempt to cheat or defraud anyone like the webgroup caught this guy doing.  He's urked cuz we slapped his hand and he knows that we all are watching him now.  The jig is up!

Thanx to everyone in the group that worked together to set this guy straight.

 How are you doing today? Hope good! Well guess what?
My little brother loved Beneath!! :) I sort of thought
he wouldn't like it since it delt with those mutant
humans and he might find them a bit strange but he
really got into the whole movie. He is 11 years old so
he is used to watching Pokemon and Digimon and I
honestly didn't think he would get into the POTA
movies, but he did and that makes me happy. So next
week we got Escape planned. Oh he did watch a little
of the tv movies I have on tape and he liked Galen. :)
He is getting all excited about the new one in
theatres this summer so my husband and I are taking
him and my mother to see it. So we are making it a big
family event. LOL

Thanks Raven,

Ah, to be a child again!  Movies work best when you're a kid and the
suspension of disbelief is nearly complete.

I'm glad he liked BENEATH.  (I wish I had when I first saw it when I was
eleven, but PLANET was just soooo good.)

I think Baker deserved that Oscar. The Grinch makeup was pretty cool. The
film on the other hand was awful. It may be the worst movie ever made. They
should rename it "How Ron Howard Raped the Grinch." Poor Theodore Geisel must

Given my love of downer endings, I'd certainly have favoured the original
version of Conquest. But since they changed it, I think that while the end
dialogue is perhaps out of place the line about the birth of the planet of
the apes gave it a much better ending than the toned-down tacked-on footage
deserved. I certainly love that line.

I don't disagree entirely - I think a lot of what Serling wrote was negative
in one way, but at the same time it was always observed with a wry sense of
humour, sort of like Hitchcock. (Wow, Serling writing and Hitchcock
directing... there's a film I'd like to see) Positive or negative though, he
was one gifted writer and I don't think many have surpassed him.

Of course a good film is a good film, but I must admit I'm a sucker for a
downbeat ending! One of the reasons I love Beneath is that when I first saw
it I just couldn't believe they'd blown up the Earth! Not too many films can
claim to have done that!

And yet strangely enough the show was very popular here in the UK. It got
very respectable ratings (can't remember the exact figure) but if I remember
correctly (second hand of course, I'm too young to remember otherwise) it
was on on Sunday nights.

I assume this popularity is why we had things like the three UK annuals when
the US didn't.

Personally I'm not upset that they did what they did with it. I admit I've
not seen it so it could be atrocious for all I know (but hey, it's Apes, so
it can't be!) but the idea of doing something different appeals to me. This
is why I like the comics as well - okay, so some fans won't like them, but
those fans can revisit their "true" PotA in film form whenever they want. I
think the comics and the TV series and so on enrich PotA by taking the same
basic concepts but exploring strange new aspects that the films never would
or never could.

I haven't watched it for at least a year I reckon... I can just never seem
to find the time. Usually I manage at least once a year to sit down and
watch the whole series though. I guess the longer I leave it the more I'll
appreciate it when I get round to watching it again!

John,

I know you put your 2 cents in from time to time,so you are "off the hook".I
was refering to the people that have NEVER said a word at all.Now I know
myself that I certainly won't be contributing like I am these days.Life will
eventually get in the way for me too.So,no I don't expect every one to reply
to everything that is ever said.I know I won't always be doing it.

The people that I was refering to are those that just let the other members
do all the talking and then they just keep hushed on whatever it was that
was/is said,whether they agree or not.If they disagree they should say
it,because as someone said to me one time,"If you have a thought against
something,say it because your silence is approval".That is what I was trying
to say.So people if you have an opinion,pro or con to what is being said,say
it.

And my thought on your prequel theory is,no it isn't nor could it be.First
off,this movie of their's is on a different planet all together,not future
Earth.They themselves have stated this movie in no way ties in with the real
Planet of the Apes.And those creatures with the understanding of metallurgy
were the humans.I believe those items were located in the same digging as the
doll.

I finally broke down an ordered the soundtracks to BENEATH and
CONQUEST/BATTLE from Film Score Monthly. Man, do they ship fast! I ordered
them on Thursday and got them on Monday. I highly recommend their service! I
haven't listened to them in their entirety yet, but here's my first
impressions:

- The packaging and liner notes are awesome (great photos and design),
although there was one error in the BENEATH booklet. It says something to the
effect that the sauna scene in that film was the only time the apes appeared
unclothed in any of the films. Our discussion about the nude Caesar in
CONQUEST a few days back disputes that claim.

- I listened to all of the CONQUEST tracks. I love "1991 Restaurant" I am a
fan of cheesy lounge music and that one certainly fits the bill. I wish it
could have made it into the film.

- The stuff from the old BENEATH LP.......what kind of drugs were they on
back then? I have to throw that one into the CD player the next time I have a
party.

- The actual BENEATH score is quite good. It is interesting to listen to
these away from the film. Very weird stuff. I was listening to BENEATH in my
car on the way home from work tonight and all I could think of is "what if I
got in an accident and whomever rescued me was greeted with the sounds of the
bomb worshipping song as they pried my body from the wreckage?" What a weird
scene that would be!

More thoughts later!

For your reading enjoyment, this is from the letter column in issue #13 from
Marvel's old POTA mags (October 1975):


Dear Sirs,

Are you kindding about the Saturday morning animated PLANET OF THE APES TV
show? MY GOD, when will it stop? I love the APES, but it's just they're
getting worse as they go along.

I would like to see you take a poll on your statement that BENEATH THE PLANET
OF THE APES is the least-liked of the series. It certainly isn't the worst of
the series - ask any critic; he'll tell you it's BATTLE without a doubt.

On your covers you always have gorillas with M-16 rifles. In the first two
films the Apes had their own style of guns.

There is a lot of talk about what you're going to do after you finish your
adapations of the TV series. Well, I think you can come up with something
better than that. How about doing your own adaptation of the book? Get a few
of your best writers together and see what they can do with the book, page by
page. That would really be something.

I also have another angle I think you should take on your TERROR strip. How
about this...Before the world was ravaged by the nuclear wars there was a
colony of scientists living on the moon. Now after centuries of believing the
earth void of life and highly radioactive, their descendents decide to
explore the earth and...well you take it from there.

Where ever you go with your stories I hope don't make the Apes out to be
fools. After all the stuff the TV series did to discredit the films, your
magazine should at least try to restore a little bit of diginity to the APES.

Rory Monteith
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

The next one came in issue #28 (January 1977):

Dear Sirs,

In many of your articles you have expressed confusion as to what date the
original PLANET OF THE APES took place. One thing says this, one thing says
that. I have viewed PLANET several times, and during these repeated viewings
I have written down the dates that appeared on the clocks during the prolouge
of the film. I have checked them over and over again, and you can be sure
that the information that I am about to reveal IS as it appears in PLANET OF
THE APES.

Now whether or not you are going to take this information down, and keep it
as truth, is up to you. All I can say is do what I have done, see the film -
pay attention - write it down - see the film again and make sure it is
correct.

I am sure I am correct and this is what I found to be in the original film...

In the prologue to PLANET OF THE APES when Taylor first looks at the clocks
he sees "EARTH TIME" as 3/24/2673 or March 24, 2673, and sees that "SHIP
TIME" is 2/14/1972 or February 14. 1972.

Taylor says... "In less than an hour I will finish our sixth month out of
Cape Kennedy. Six months in deep space. 'Flight Hour Time', that is."

They therefore took-off from Cape Kennedy on, or around, August 14, 1971!!

After the ship crashes in the inland sea, Taylor looks at "EARTH TIME" and it
reads 11/25/3978. TAYLOR'S SHIP CRASHED ON NOVEMBER 25, 3978!! ("Ship Time"
was not shown in that shot)

Later at the shores of the inland sea, Landon says that they were in space
for 18 months (they slept for 12 months) and Taylor says..."Our time."

So the ship's flight was 18 months long, from August 14, 1971 to February 14,
1973, "Flight Hour Time," that is.

In the sequels the year that PLANET took place was 3955. This, as you can
see, is a mistake. Somehow the screenwriters overlooked what was in the
original, and how they overlooked this is one of the greatest mysteries of
the PLANET OF THE APES film series.

I made a mistake in my reply to Alex's posting,I really meant to say
that I still continue to see the cup as HALF EMPTY,not half full.I

Hi

I'm not new to the list, I've been a lurker for well over a year but I've
just subscribed a second time using my work e-mail, so i thought i'd

My names Steve i'm 31 years old, married with a 15 month old son named
Louis.
I live in and am from the UK.

I'm not quite into POTA as deeply as some of you chaps obviously are, but
i've liked it since i was a nipper. I've never seen any of the pota films at
the cinema though i wish i could off, well Planet and Beneath anyway. The
last three i've always thought seemed like made for TV movies.

It was interesting watching the TV series on Channel Four in the mid
nineties. I kinda remembered bits of it from when it was on TV originally.
It didn't seem as good as i remembered ,but then again i'm a too cynical 31
year old and not a kid . The stories struck me as being on the same level of
something like the 'A' Team. I have them all on tape ,perhaps i'll watch
them again someday, maybe with my little boy when he's a bit older.

I'll go to see the new film although i think they should have left well
alone and perhaps made something original instead of endless Hollywood
remakes of old films and TV series.

.html Sorry to have confused you Steve.  My comment was in reference to the tons of webgroup emails that will fill your mailbox as we get closer to the release of the new film.  You'll be wearing out the delete keys as you attempt to clear space on your mail files.

I will be offering the Lord T - shirts. It's a plain white pocket T with the
word LORD in back frount and back. They come with a title & the right to
bear arms (not much good in the U.S. since you have that anyway), but no
lands. If you wish land, for a small extra charge, I will include a drit
clod in the pocket. Please remove before washing.

Some folks just don't get the jokes . . .
Someone asked if anyone was bothered by the suana scene.
I just couldn't pass up a set up like that.
But if you have to explain a joke, it isn't going to be funny anymore.
Please recalibrate your bullshit detector.

promise you that.But like I said it was just where they were having their
debate,nothing more,nothing less.
I do agree with you though,they should have had female gorillas and
orangutans in the series (movies and tv) especially in the POTA funeral
scene.That always bugged me,all of the female mourners being female
chimps. >>

Hahaha - Rory, you don't actually appear to have changed at all! These could

Hmm. I see you chose a name that was belligerent.

Welcome! I'm a fellow Brit, but not the only one. There are a few of us
here!

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. But I think perhaps we've covered this
topic already...

The older I get, the more I think Chuck is a wanker.

His views seem narrow and closed minded.
