All I know is that I opened it from someone I work with and the damn thing was sent to everyone in my address book, and from there I don't have a clue. If it was intentional, i wouldn't have sent the second one warning everybody and I surely wouldn't have signed it.

Not intentional?
First you send it to the e-group, THEN you send it to me.
 
That's being unintentioanl TWICE.

Here's another contest to go to the "Apes" premiere (the first one is at
www.darkhorse.com for those who haven't entered). It's from a newspaper here
in Los Angeles called "New Times" but the contest is open to all U.S.
residents (except Rhode Island and Puerto Rico). Go to www.newtimesla.com .
If you win, perhaps you'll consider taking Natalie Trundy? Good luck!

Right, I think everyone has listed all my favourite moments from the films,
so I'm going to try to come up with moments for each film other than the
obvious ones that have been mentioned by everyone.

So, these have probably already been mentioned, but I would list:

PLANET: Zaius screwing up the paper plane.

BENEATH: Zaius smashing the mutant busts; Brent wandering through the
subway. The ending.

ESCAPE: Zira announcing her pregnancy; the ending (and the epilogue).

CONQUEST: Every scene involving the nasty police force. Introduction to Ape
Management. "The birth of the planet of the apes!"

BATTLE: The opening, with the Lawgiver. The opening titles with Aldo. The
city.

Hey, we've been doing pretty well up until now without a remake! A remake
flop might dent Fox's interest in merchandising, but maybe then others would
be able to pick up licencing rights for cheaper!

There is actually a music shop near me that has an interesting policy to
encourage people to try new artists - if you buy a CD and you think it's
rubbish, you can take it back and exchange it!

I'm assuming that's just the usual case of a word disappearing off the end

C'mon! Whalberg is established enough for POTA. Did you see "Boogie Nights?"
He was amazing in that movie and deserved a Best Actor Oscar. He was also
quite good in "Three Kings" and "The Perfect Storm." Yes, he does seem a bit
young, but in all of these parts he has proven his acting chops and the
ability to portray a "fish out of water" or someone who is in over their
heads, a quality which is needed for any human lead in a POTA film.

The same thing almost happened to me last year via an e-mail from a
friend...My virus scanner caught it before I could click on it, thank
goodness. I hope you're able to clear it off your system quickly, and
if you don't have one I'd suggest installing a virus scanner (if it's
your home computer). InoculateIT is free from Computer Associates and
works in the background continuously -- register to download it here:

Unfortunately I think that if such an event actually occurred, they would

Planet is my favourite usually, but I sometimes swing between it, Beneath
and, on rare occasions, Conquest, depending on my mood.

I have the Nova cover. It's got that plastic/laminated type finish (no jokes
about the purpose of this please) which possibly decreases its "value" but I
love it, as it has kept the cover pretty much free from wear. Nice.

And I really enjoyed the novel, too.

SF films? None that I can think of.

Soylent Green came pretty close though. Tha fact that it was EGW's last role
gives it something extra.

My main memory of Escape is unfortunately thinking it was a bit of an
anti-climax. It was the last one I saw, and it just didn't live up to the
others in my book. I think it was probably something to do with the 70s
setting, and the fact that very few apes were actually involved. The second
half of the film I love, the first half isn't quite as good. The turning
point, almost exactly halfway through, is Zira's revelation that she is
pregnant. That's when it really gets going.

This is interesting. Go to www.projectape.com . Every Friday for 13 weeks
Fox is hiding props from the new movie and the person to find them keeps
them. Id definitely say "Apes" is becoming "the contest movie" of the
summer.

Not much Maryann. The Silent Running droids weren't played by midgets or

    Oh, I don't know. I don't think Escape isn't the only one. I get a little

    I may be going out on a bit of a limb here but I have to confess to
    always being a bigger fan of 'Beneath'

    I think it was because it was the first Apes film I saw back when I
    was knee high to a chimp. General Ursus fascinated me as a character
    and I remember being blown away by the Ape army on the march, and the
    mutants peeling back their skin.

    It was only later that I caught up with the rest of the series but I
    always stayed true to Beneath. Now that I am a wise old man (only 30
    though I must add), I can of course see the obvious failings the film
    has when directly compared to Planet, but to me it will always remain
    my favourite.

    When the tv series reared it's beautiful head over here in the UK, I
    was absolutely overjoyed that they had reproduced Ursus in the form
    of Urko.

    I only hope this Attar chap can live up to the menace that Ursus and
    Urko had.

    Is anyone as confused as I am about the official website? I figured out
    the instructions (thanks, Alex) but I'm not sure if I properly captured the
    trading card (and what does that mean?). And what's this Project A.P.E. ? I
    take it we don't actually have to go to the location.                - - -

    There seems to be a problem at the moment with capturing the cards. Because once you do, you should be able to store them away in your own account and view them as FLASH CARDS. But at the moment I myself can't seem to get in there.
     
    Project A.P.E. yeah you do have to go to the loction (from my understanding) and once there you will find an official movie prop if you are the first.
    I personaly don't think I would get envolved in that venture, unless of course they place it in my same street corner. :o)
     
    Sorry FOX but FIND a movie prop? Maybe.
    FIND a million dollars? Call me Indiana Jones!!!
    No but really, it is a fun Idea, I just don't have the time for it right now.
     
    But I would if I win that Movie Premiere Contest, hell I'll make the time!
     
    Best,
    Alex

    Not so fast Alan, it was actually Emily Grant Wooton's last film as well,
    lovely character actress known for her ability to remain perfectly still for
    nearly 24 hours, strout, robust woman *sigh* she will be missed...

    Jeff, after having the blooms on my tulips ripped off their stems

    Sadly, I think you're right. And when the small minority who knew
    about what had happened tried to make the information public, the
    government involved would employ 'plausible denial' tactics.

    Unless it happened in the UK, in which case we'd have video evidence
    of Prescott decking Cornelius. ;) /Mez

    Hi!

    This 'piece of wood', Wahlberg, is being praised here for BOOGIE

    Hey, I don't like him, yet. Please don't hold it against me.

    In terms of paralelling the original film and this new 're-

      I think we can all agree on that, but at the time of the production of the
      original POTA, they needed a star of Heston's stature to get the film made in
      the first place. Now, it is an established property that can almost sell
      itself. Getting an up-and-coming actor who has some skill like Whalberg was a
      good move IMO. I like him as an actor and am curious to see what he brings to
      the table. Most will admit that he was amazing as Dirk Diggler.

      I did a virus scan with both Norton's and McAfee to get rid of it. Once you
      open it, it sends itself to everyone in your address book. From there, I
      don't know what it does. Both programs easily found it and I could delete it
      from my system. I would suggest either one.

        Subject: APES posters (which do you like best?)
        .html
        .htmlHey everyone,

        I was talking privately with Matt, who wishes he had a BENEATH 1-sheet, about
        what I thought of that poster.

        I think it's kind of boring.  It shouls have had the image of Ursus and the
        mutant on it, as the 3-sheet, insert and window card do.

        I was wondering something. . . .  Which original APES poster do you like
        best?  I assume all of you have seen what the original 1-sheet posters looked
        like.  They're at the end of the "Behind the Planet of the Apes" documentary,
        and they're shown in the Inkworks card set.

        Please say why you like the poster best, and why you don't like others.

        I for one LOVE the PLANET 1-sheet, though many think it dull.  I think that
        image of the outdoor cage is great, and the picture of Dr. Zaius very cool --
        but then I've been living with it since I was eight.  I think BENEATH's
        1-sheet is unimaginative.  They could have done much better.  I think
        ESCAPE's is great, though maybe they shouldn't have had the three astroapes
        shown with their helmets off.  CONQUEST's is awesome and really makes you
        want to see the movie.  BATTLE's -- well, like the film, I find this one a
        real comedown.  BUT, maybe if what was shown in that poster's art had really
        been in the movie, BATTLE might have been better.

        Anyway, what do YOU think?

        the 'GO APE' poster. That gorilla grabbed me and shook me to
        attention as a child, and it still has that effect every time I see
        it. /Mez

          .html Personally, I liked the posters on the German video releases.  Very Cool!  Comic book style, really exciting. Not accurate (Ursus/Urko is on nearly every cover) but great art!

          Most of the foreign theatrical posters were more interesting than the US versions, although the Italian BATTLE poster is downright hysterical!!!  Complete with lazerguns, Flying saucers and the Starship Enterprize!!!  Wowzerz!  That's a movie I would've like to have seen!

          Hey everyone,

          I was talking privately with Matt, who wishes he had a BENEATH 1-sheet, about
          what I thought of that poster.

          I think it's kind of boring.  It shouls have had the image of Ursus and the
          mutant on it, as the 3-sheet, insert and window card do.

          I was wondering something. . . .  Which original APES poster do you like
          best?  I assume all of you have seen what the original 1-sheet posters looked
          like.  They're at the end of the "Behind the Planet of the Apes" documentary,
          and they're shown in the Inkworks card set.

          Please say why you like the poster best, and why you don't like others.

          I for one LOVE the PLANET 1-sheet, though many think it dull.  I think that
          image of the outdoor cage is great, and the picture of Dr. Zaius very cool --
          but then I've been living with it since I was eight.  I think BENEATH's
          1-sheet is unimaginative.  They could have done much better.  I think
          ESCAPE's is great, though maybe they shouldn't have had the three astroapes
          shown with their helmets off.  CONQUEST's is awesome and really makes you
          want to see the movie.  BATTLE's -- well, like the film, I find this one a
          real comedown.  BUT, maybe if what was shown in that poster's art had really
          been in the movie, BATTLE might have been better.

          Anyway, what do YOU think?

            asses. If no one wants to make this film, I will.

            trying to make! Hurling humans 60 feet through the air.

            Yeah, those German video boxes are interesting.  They're certainly into
            images of powerful gorillas -- I wonder why Germans would be into such
            imagery?!!!

            Anyway, I've never seen that Italian BATTLE poster you talked about.   It
            sounds pretty wild.  The French BATTLE poster is certainly better than the US
            one.  Some say the French PLANET poster is the best for that film, but I
            don't know.  I dislike the Polish PLANET poster, much too strange, however I
            think it's the Yugoslavian or Czechoslovian PLANET poster that looks like
            POTA meets YELLOW SUBMARINE.  That's pretty cool.

              .html
              Through the magic of eBay, I was able to pick up a copy of Cinefantastique's
              Summer 1972 issue. This is the one that was dedicated to POTA and it is a
              fascinating artifact of its time. It has brief interviews with all of the
              movers and shakers that made the POTA phenomenon happen. Unfortunately, most
              of them are dead (Arthur Jacobs, Pierre Boulle, Franklin Schaffner, Roddy
              McDowell, Maurice Evans, Paul Dehn, Don Taylor, Rod Serling, Michael Wilson).
              The other interviews are with Charlton Heston, Kim Hunter, Ted Post, J. Lee
              Thompson, John Chambers, William Creber and Jerry Goldsmith. The issue came
              out before CONQUEST and at the time it seems like the general consensus was
              the POTA was great, BENEATH was a bit sloppy and ESCAPE was very highly
              regarded.

              One thing that I found interesting is that it seems like a lot of the info
              from the BEHIND THE PLANET OF THE APES documentary was lifted directly from
              this magazine. Another thing that I found amusing was an apperent
              disagreement between Jacobs and Boulle. In reference to the Statue of Liberty
              ending Jacobs said "I sent the finished script back to Boulle, and he wrote
              back, saying he thought it was more inventive than his own ending, and wished
              that he had thought of it when he wrote the book." Interestingly, in Boulle's
              interview section he says: "I disliked somewhat, the ending that was used -
              the Statue of Liberty - which critics seemed to like, but personally, I
              prefer my own."

              I got the magazine for just over $15. My bid was around $6 until some guy
              named mlcougar came in and jacked the price up for me (no hard feelings ml, I
              know you gotta do what you gotta do). If anyone needs this magazine for their
              collection, I highly suggest hunting down a copy.

              It's sometimes hard to know what the truth is situations such as this.  When
              a movie is successful everyone wants to take credit or at least part of the
              credit, and wants eveyone to think that all involved were of one mind and
              enthusiastic about how things were done.  Afterall, what is one to say?  
              "Well, actually so and so thought it was shit, but we did it that way anyhow
              and it works, so fuck him."  No, you paint a pretty picture for public
              consumption.  It goes way back to the old Hollywood publicity departments at
              the studios.  Anyway, I think Jacobs told the story of how the Statue of
              Liberty final just came to him and one-time director Blake Edwards as they
              were leaving a deli.  But, it's known now that Rod Serling came up with it --
              and HE got it from someplace else.  The image of a ruined, half-buried Statue
              of Liberty appeared on some Sci-Fi mag covers years before.  I believe what
              Boulle most objected to was Serling introducing nuclear war as the means of
              man's downfall.  This was antithetical to Boulle's idea of human intellectual
              laziness being the cause of the reversal of man and ape.

              << "I sent the finished script back to Boulle, and he wrote
              back, saying he thought it was more inventive than his own ending, and
              wished
              that he had thought of it when he wrote the book." Interestingly, in
              Boulle's
              interview section he says: "I disliked somewhat, the ending that was used -
              the Statue of Liberty - which critics seemed to like, but personally, I
              prefer my own." >>

              Like most Frogs, he a damned liar! I'd say the former is most likely the
              truth. Privately he was envious of Serling's ending, but of course he
              couldn't publicly admit it.

              I'd sure like to know who wrote that schtinkin' story anywho! I think as
              Apes fans it's up to us to find out just who it was that first came up with
              that idea. For the record!

              Matt,

              No hard feelings at all.I wanted that issue too.And believe me,if it hadn't
              been me "jacking the price up" it would have been someone else.I know,I was
              outbid on that issue before.

              Cover is of an extreme close-up of a Gorilla from the new movie (why is it
              ALWAYS the Gorilla's on everything???). Cover price is $6.99.

              I don't mean to offend, but why are you guys paying so much for these VHS
              videos, that have to be sent from so far, that then have to be converted from
              PAL to NTSC, when the POTA TV show will be out on DVD in November with much
              better picture quality and sound and at a MUCH LOWER price?!!!!

              What are you guys, crazy about APES or somethin'?!!!! LOL!!!!!

              Yeah, I've read this before. You know there's funny thing in that picture of
              the cast they show on the first page. The guy between Charlton Heston and
              Kim Hunter's Zira is the cinematographer, Leon Shamroy -- ONLY that's some
              other guy's head on his body!!! Very strange.
