Go for it, Daniel! Just don't OD or you may find you have the sudden
urge to wear a rucksack everywhere and play duck and hide with the

Bryan, thanks for the reminder about the DVD release in November -- I
have to put that up in lights on my site.

people because the extras on the new special edition "Behind the Planet of

I'm no expert, so I may be wrong here, but isn't it quite easy to get DVD
players "tampered with", so to speak, in order to play multi-region discs?
It'd invalidate any guarantee you may have, but that's all. (Also, I assume
it's easier to do if you happen to play DVDs through your computer)

Fox is thinking big box office bucks when the sign up the comedy directing
team of Bobby and Peter Farrelly to shoot a remake of Planet of the Apes.
The
casting coup here is getting Jim Carrey to play a duel role in the film.

First, Carrey plays Commander Taylor, an astronaut whose solo mission in
space goes wrong, forcing him to make a landing on a strange remote planet.
Taylor then encounters an society where apes rule and man is a beast. The
apes are surprised that Taylor can talk, but rather than considering him a
menace, they treat him as a curiosity and relish his zany antics. He soon
emerges as a celebrity in the ape society. The whole thing turns dark when
Minister of Science Dr. Zaius (also played by Carrey, who apparently did
not
tire of the elaborate makeup he had to endure as the Grinch) wants to
capture
Taylor and put him in a circus where his "definate gift of mimicry" can be
exploited for financial gain. With the the help of two sympathetic
chimpanzees (Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz), Taylor escapes and the trio
embark on a slapstick race to the Forbidden Zone where Taylor wishes to
find
clues about to escape from the POTA.

This would be sort of interesting.  Watching Carrey with a beard and dark tan
do a over-the-top Heston imitation would be rather endearing.  I don't know
about him being Zaius though.  I think Ben Stiller is already half-way there
as far as looking rather chimpanzee-ish, but Cameron Diaz as Zira?! -- what a
waste!  A ditzy Nova would be better.  Better would be Janeane Garofalo as a
misanthropic Dr. Zira making sarcastic comments all the time.

I have to wonder though, how do you have a 'slapstick race through the
Forbidden Zone'?   Do gorillas go over clifts in their wagons just like Wyle
E. Coyote, supergenius?

Throw in Wal-Mart and cheap gas prices -- SOLD! (You think US
gasoline prices are expensive now at around $1.70-2.00 per gallon,
try $5.00 on average, which is what the UK public has been paying per
gallon since at least '95. And close to 80% of that is GOVERNMENT

In a move that surprises everyone in the film industry, Woody Allen
announces
that he has secured the rights to shoot a remake of Planet of the Apes. The
whole thing is kept under wraps and Hollywood is buzzing about why Allen
would do it. Finally, the details leak out:

Allen stars a neurotic chimp archaeologist who is stressing out about some
of
his discoveries. It seems that he has learned that apes evolved from men
and
he is worried that if he reveals this discovery he could be embarressed or
worse yet banished from the scientific academy. He is also worried about
how
the stress will affect his relationship with a young female chimp (played
by
Katie Holmes) that he is mentoring. Things really spin out of control when
an
astronaut from the past (played by John Cusack) arrives to confirm Allen's
discoveries. As Allen fights to protect Cusack (and his own reputation) he
doesn't seem to notice that Holmes is falling for the intelligent human.
This
bizarre love triangle causes a scandal in the ape society causing them to
ignore Allen and his discoveries. This causes Allen to feel more sad and
rejected. The ape society is very reminiscent of 1930s Manhatten, with apes
partaking in activities like playing in ragtime bands.

Better yet would be a Woody Allen remake of BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES
with a radiation-scarred neurotic Jewish mutant (Allen) living in the sewers
of Manhattan playing Gershwin music endlessly and complaining about being so
lonely and the emptiness of life.  Finally an army of gorillas (from Harlem)
invade Allen's sanctuary where he tries to fight them off using only a large
polo mallet.  A sympathetic chimpanzee psychotherapist (Diane Keaton)
convinces Allen he just needs to get out more and advises him to go up to the
surface.  Out in the sunlight, Allen discovers a tribe of half-naked
flower-children living in the remains of Central Park.  He then finds true
happiness with an oriental teenage girl who's 'into leather' making jackets
for the once-hostile gorillas in what's left of the upper east side.  You
could call the film "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About POTA, but
Were Afraid To Ask"

They're still around as are the original molds.  I've seen them sell from $500 to $2,500 depending on the character and what film they were used in.

Really bad copies (3rd or 4th generation dupes) are out there as well, only they are sooooooooo tiny they wouldn't even fit on a small child.  Being that latex shrinks 10-30%, a third or fourth generation dupe is pretty darn small.

The quality of the detail is one of the best ways of telling which film the masks were used in.  Really fine detail would indicate a "first run" mask.  The molds usually are pretty worn out by the time 25 to 30 masks have been pull from them.

Most of the ORIGINAL masks that I've seen surface in the past few years are really badly pitted and smooth, indicating that the masks were made from original molds that were around from the beginning.
Most of the 3rd generation dupes I have seen were duped from poor condition masks as well.  So you've got really tiny masks with really bad surface details.

We are working on a commemorative version of a Background Gorilla to add to our line, here's a sneak peak of the sculpture.

take care.

A pretty interesting site, Alex. I went down the entire list. So far PLANET
OF THE APES (1968) has made $26 Million. Overseas grosses were not available.

By comparison "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) has made $56.7 million.

For some reason none of the APES sequels were in the list.

"Gone With The Wind" since 1939 has made $390.6 million. That's pretty
fantastic considering that back when that movie opened tickets were like .25
cents! I think in terms of tickets sold, "Gone With The Wind" still beats
"Titanic" by a large margin.

Most surprising thing I found: Since 1939 "The Wizard of Oz" has only made
$14.8 million! I would have thought it would be more. "Frankenstein" (1931)
has made just $12 million, and "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962) just $6 million!
I kind of wonder about this list, but maybe it's true!

Well, I for one was not at all happy to see that POTA didn't make the top
1000.
Not even the top twelve hundred! Sure it didn't cost 7 or 8 bucks to go to
the movies in '68, but I for one am going to see that the new film does
better if I have to go five times! Even if I don't like it! I'll by a
ticket and not show. Just to prove this concept is a money maker. I don't

receipts! I know for a fact they showed it outside the states!

Well, I know that in just 1968 "Planet of the Apes" grossed $15 Million. It
tied with "Rosemary's Baby." "2001" by the way made far less in '68. It
took longer to make what it's made, plus it's been re-released more than
"Planet."

Anyway, $15 Million in 1968 would be how much today? Adjusted for inflation,
I mean. I don't know how to figure it out. Anybody here that does, please

Yes, this is worrisome.  Fox better start really pouring it on with the hype.

I'll look into availability (I'm not actually sure if they have Mad Max on
the Video Store shelf right now) but I am sure the whole project would come
in close to $50 and probably with a little change.

Hi Kay,

I live in England so the videos that Michael sent me are the same
format as the UK (PAL VHS). The series was split into 2 boxes with 3
videos in each and they look very smart. I don't yet have a dvd
player and just couldn't wait to get hold of them as I'm sure you
can't... happy viewing !

Tower Records targets Planet of the Apes

May 31, 2001 - Sacramento, CA. Tower Records prepares for some serious
monkey business this summer with the release of Tim Burton's re-imagined
vision of Planet of the Apes. With a summer full of daring damsels and more
dinos, Tower is making a stand for simian rights everywhere. Prepare for
some exclusive primate products available only from Tower Records.

First up is the bust of Attar, feared ape warrior, standing over an
impressive 9" tall and sporting a classic snarl. This highly detailed
sculpture is a collector's dream come true by not only being limited in
production but to also have a retail of only $39.99. Each bust will come
packaged in a beautifully illustrated collector's box featuring new movie
artwork.

Next is every snack lover's necessity, an Attar Ceramic Cookie Jar.
This exclusive munchable hideaway stands over 12" tall and is over 11" wide.
The jar has a removable helmet for easy access to cookies or bananas, you
choose. Each jar will come packed in a collector's box and is limited but
best of all, it will only retail for $39.99 each.

Finally, for the simian who is on the go, Tower Records offers our
exclusive lunchbox with thermos. Each sturdy metal box features exclusive
artwork from the film as well as a thermos to carry hot or cold beverages.
This limited edition lunchbox will be available for only $19.99 while
supplies last.

Each Planet of the Apes item listed will be exclusive to Tower
Records and will be made available at all locations across the country as
well as Tower's website, www.towerrecords.com.

Tower Records has long been recognized throughout the world for its unique
brand of retailing. Founded in 1960 in Sacramento, CA, the company's
phenomenal expansion over the four decades has brought the Tower name and
retail philosophy to eighteen countries globally: United States, Canada,
England, Ireland, Scotland, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, China (Hong Kong),
Mexico, Argentina, Israel, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines,
Columbia, and Ecuador. Tower Records owns and operates 183 stores worldwide
with 61 franchise operations in seven countries. Tower also has an extensive
online presence at TowerRecords.com.

Alex, babes, I'd like to proposition you. (LOL -- not THAT kind of
proposition!) I notice you've got a TV Series forum on your board.
Well, I started a TV Series forum on my site May 25 and haven't had a
post yet. Apart from my own. {Sob}

The thing is, seeing as a lot of my visitors come from your site
anyway (thank you), I wonder if you'd let me link to YOUR board
instead and I'd just get rid of mine. In return I'd oversee the TV
Series area if you wanted, take care of pests, be your love slave --
oh, strike that. But you get the idea. If this sounds copacetic let
me know and I'll get back to you in a week...I'm off to FLORIDA on
vacation tomorrow! /Mez

I lived in L.A. for 7 years so have been to near about all of them in
both places, and prefer Florida. Lots more there because the parks
are so much bigger. We won't be in Orlando long so will probably only
be able to fit in an afternoon on the Tower of Terror at MGM this
time. Hubby and I are addicted to that thing! /Mez

Ooooo, I can feel the power already! Thanks, Alex. I'll re-link when
I return, and promise not to be too harsh with the humans.

I've never been to Miami -- you got a baseball team? (Mets fan here!)
We may drive thru Miami in the Fall if we go to the Keys. And we'll
try the New Islands of Adventure then as well, that's new since last
we were in Orlando. Thanks! /Mez

Hey Chad, not going near Tampa as you probably know by now, but I
lived there for a year when I was 5. Can't say I remember much about
it except it was hot and the bugs were big enough to saddle and
ride! /Mez

Hey MLC, the address for the Memphis con is
zeus.ia.net/%7Marydee/memphis/. I'm still up in the air on which to go to,
the Jersey one or Memphis. Oh well, we'll see. John

Hey Alex, just got mine in the mail today. I was pleasantly surprised.
Some very nice pix. Kinda skimmed the article, I'm still under the delusion I
can keep this thing a surprise. Enjoy, John

Saw Memento this past weekend. Absolutely Brilliant! Got the taste of
Pearl Harbor outta my mouth! Very Pulp Fiction/Usual Suspect. The less you
know, the better. Just go check it out before it leaves the theatres. Best
Movie of the Year. At least until 7.27.01. Enjoy, John

Well that makes two of us.
Miami is a great place to live don't get me wrong.
I've just been here toooo looong already.

Time to move on, I'm thinking of moving further north to Orlando.
If all goes well I'll be chillin with mickey on those sometimes 'oh what to
do boring weekends'. It will be a lot closer than Miami. A 3 hour drive can
be a pain sometimes.
And there's a whole lot of action going on over there besides theme parks.

Best,
Alex

Whatta coinky-dink. Dad's not far off Route 1. It's about two hours
for us from Orlando with a ritual Cinnabon stop along the way.

If I had my way we'd visit in the winter when it's cooler! Hurricane
season is underway as well. With any luck we'll be stuck in Orlando
the day we fly back due to incoming. Anymore I hate to leave the
US. /Mez

I think that's up to the list owner.

As a suggestion, it *is* possible to change delivery of this list to
browser only, as I have my subscription set, to avoid downloading e-

If we, do does anyone know of two places next to each other one a big city
and one a small town that I can commute back and forth when I get tired of
the city or bored with the country?

Hey Brian,
Where the hell did you find that thing? Are you restoring it or are you making
copies. A desk size version would make a great matching piece for the Lawgiver
desk piece you were going to release. What ever happened to that?
Also, I'd never noticed the 'glyphs' on the statue before. Interesting
considering Caesar didn't have them in 'Battle'. I think only Aldo had them
when he got his collar.

.html Hi Ken,

Found it on my doorstep yesterday morning.  Actually we will be restoring it for the Motion Picutre Trust Fund, Roddy's favorite charity.  They have built a memorial rose garden (in his memory) and CAESAR will be the centerpiece.  Something I have been discussing with them is for us to mold and release a limited edition of the face and nameplate to also raise money for the fund.  So stay tuned...

A matching desk-size to the Lawgiver aye?  Ours is still in the works, but the guy that owns the original desk-size LG is contemplating releasing copies of it as well, so we may wait on ours a while longer.  We are also quite busy with these full-size restorations right now anyway, but hang in there.  You'll see more cool goodies soon!

Well, I tried not to read too much of that, but it really doesn't say much --
except that the two people who read the script didn't think it was that good.

I think it's about 80% that most of us original POTA fans will have 'issues'
with this new film.  Firstly, Zira, Cornelius and Dr. Zaius are going to be
sorely missed, secondly, it isn't going to look or feel like the original
movie OR any of the sequels.  It going to be almost entirely new -- and I
just don't know.  I just don't know.
