.htmlI got a call from Jeff Krueger tonight -- very nice of him, AND I said hello
to Natalie Trundy --

Anyway, one item of interest is that Jeff has just found out the new PLANET
OF THE APES will have its World Premiere in New York City NOT L.A.

I just remembered that the original film had its World Premiere in N.Y.C.
too, so it seems appropriate.

.html Yeah, it's a living.

Today we had the honor of opening the International Make-up Trade Show in Pasadena, CA.  (Hosted by Make-up Artist Magazine)

A few weeks back we filmed a Monkees parody music video for the openning ceremonies which was great fun.  (See foto attached)
The audience got a kick out of it too.  We were supposed to be the binder for a video montage of great apes-in-film clips set to the music of the Monkees' theme, but the final edit seemed to be missing alot of famous apes.  It was still well received by the crowd though.

The talk of the show and buz is much about Rick Baker's guest ape-pearance tomorrow showing footage of his cameo make-up transformation into an ape for Burton's film.

Look's like more furry fun.

Great pic Brian!!!

I wouldn't have believed that one could combine the MONKEES with POTA, but
now I'M A BELIEVER!


Matt

By request, here are the lyrics to my POTA parody song.
There's a small bit of profanity in the song, so if you are offended
by such, you may want to skip it. Also, I took a little bit of
poetic license. For example, Charlton wasn't shot in the neck with
an Uzi in the movie. But Uzi rhymes with woozy, etc. So for the
purists, please cut me a bit of slack. ;)
The mp3 is available for free download at:

Enjoy! :)

APES ON CRACK by Dave Lasher

Label: Cujobyte Records

Credits: Words by Dave Lasher. Music by Harvey Danger. Licensed by

Lyrics:

I was just an astronaut
I blasted off for space in the morning
They shoulda gave me a warning
Of where they're sendin me to

The monkeys here are talkin
And they're bipedally walking around
What is this place that I've found?
A mutant Brooklyn Zoo
(Monkey House! -but they're the ones in charge)

These monkeys are smokin crack
When they attack
You watch you're back

They caught me in a net
And then they shot me in the neck with an Uzi
It made me feel a bit woozy
And now I can't use my voice

They threw me in a prison
With a hottie, stone age, woman to screw me
But I wasn't horny
I just want to get my spaceship back and fly back home, yeah!

These monkeys are smokin crack
When they attack
You watch you're back

They're smarter than you think
Hell, one's a shrink!
But they still stink

I wanna find my friend
And make this nightmare end
I'm gonna sue NASA
My lawyer's gonna have a time
They'll pay a fine
My Jaguar will shine
Upon The Rhine
Upon The Rhine
Ahhh

Holy shit! They got my friend!
They cut his head! They fucked with his brain!
And now he's droolin' insane
Now it's just me and the chick

We make our break. We steal a horse
We flee until we come to the beach
My ship is nearly in reach
But what's this buried Statue of Liberty? Noo!

These monkeys are smokin crack
When they attack
You watch you're back

They're smarter than you think
We've been hoodwinked
But they still stink

Ops I was wrong . It's Emmy Collins who is the gorilla/human out
cast character .

Not certain, but I don't think so . . . As I understand it, the only real
reason for the human look on the female chimps is so that anything between
Carter and Wahlberg would be believable. The studio kept saying make her
prettier. I think they went a bit far when they added eyebrows. Zira was
more attractive than those turtleheaded Klingon bitches on ST. If anything
it makes it less believable. Because the females look so un-apelike, they
look like a completely different species. Don't ask me why they would
sacrifice believability in one area for another -- unless they're just scared
of any bestial backlash at the box-office. Independents can afford to stick
to their guns -- for studios box-office IS the bottom line.

ARGH! Let's not have this conversation again. We're nearly all agreed that
the Statue of Liberty on the cover is a bad idea, but evertime it's
mentioned it always degenerates into a list of "Why don't they just stick
<spoiler x> on the cover of <film y> whiler they're at it"-type posts.

Nobody mention Soylent Green, Citizen Kane, or the Sixth Sense again,
please.

don't see how in the hell that could be missed.Somewhere along the line,if
she didn't put it in there herself then an employee must have done it...Maybe
Beavis and Butthead quit their jobs at Burgerworld and moved onto

Well, I could only guess.  I would say Ben Stiller, Tim Burton, James
Cameron, most of the writers on The Simpsons and a few on That 70's Show,
Howard Stern, Dennis Miller, Matt Dillon and few others that will probably
come 'out' when the new movie opens.

Stuttering John Melendez from the Stern show is an even bigger fan than
Howard.

Sammy Davis Jr. was supposedly a big fan.

Amazing, they both died a few years and a day apart. I guess their life's
work was complete. Namely POTA!

While we're on the subject of the death (and not Apes), this has been a sad
week in regards to the passing of some of my favorite actors. First Carroll
O'Connor and now Jack Lemmon.

.html I wouldn't get involved with eurotrash - it's meant to be a really crass program about the 'fringe' in culture and art. The kind of program that has performance artists talk about why they sleep naked in art galleries and why they think it's art. 'Scraping the bottom of the cultural barrel' and 'turning over some of the dirtier stones in the European garden to see what lives beneath,' have been epithets used about this programme. One of their 'features' was about a S&M conference in Amsterdam, with suitably titled presentations. I watched an episode once, because the listing said it was about contemporary music - turned out to be nude string quartet! They also showed a beauty show about types of German sausage from some wurst-makers association. It always gets 'reviewed' in the Radio Times (a listings magazine in the UK), and always very sarcastically.

So I wouldn't get near Eurotrash, it can only be to be taken the mickey out of.

Do agree Alan, Dave?

.html I haven't seen the show for a while but from what I remember it was mostly about sexual oddities and such. It had it's moments but I agree with Mark, I wouldn't participate unless you were comfortable with the inference that you mated with monkeys as that's how it'll probably end up after editing. The closest U.S comparable I can think of is "Talk Soup".
Best,

Wholeheartedly. This is a show that usually revolves around the most
outlandish customs from all over Europe in a kind of "let's all laugh at the
foreigners" sort of way. When people are interviewed, they are usually
dubbed over with stupid exaggerated accents from various parts of Britain.
Just about every second show (usually more) has a main feature about some
porn star or something, and there is ALWAYS much nakedness involved. It is a
piss take, and I would steer well clear of getting involved.

One particular feature was about a man who painted pictures using his own
excrement.

Whatever you do people please don't get involved. The sole aim of
this show will be to embarass and belittle Ape fans, and to try and
portray them in some eccentric out of touch with reality kind of way.

I hope I don't forget to remember.

You know what was tonight?
Silent Running!
I forgot how good it was.
Pretty damn good for a movie that was essentially Bruce Dern and a bunch of
amputees in an airplane hanger. My hats off to Cheryl Sparks! The lady
amputee who played Dewie. And Bruce Dern! Even though he played a killer
yet again, that time he played a good killer. Very brave of him to go
against type like that.

My thoughts exactly, which is why I fired off an email to the
researcher expressing my concern that they will cover POTA in true
Eurotrash style, which would be to belittle fans, embarass them and
somehow make some sort of sexual oddity connection (the mind
boggles!!). The reply I received seemed sincere but as Alex said 'you
never know who to trust'. The reply I got is as follows......


Dear Daniel

I was sorry when I read your email. Please can I assure you that the
show we are doing is a one off special centered entirely on monkeys
and apes and not just Planet of the Apes.

The show is light hearted and fun and not all of the content is of a
sexual nature and certainly the Planet of the Apes feature is not
intended to be so. Under no circumstances do we intend to belittle or
embarass anybody and we are certainly not loooking for any Eurotrash
type sexual connection with the piece.

As I Mentioned earlier, this is a one off special on monkeys and
apes. The theme was chosen because we go out close to the opening of
The Visitor. I am myself a fan of Planet of the Apes. If we do gently
poke a little fun out of some films, it is from the truly trashy
ones - Planet of the Apes DOES NOT fit into this category.

Yours sincerely
Dana Palamara

I have NEVER heard a good word about eurotrash, no from any newspaper nor TV
guide nor other review. It is universally dismissed as arrant TV nonsense.
It only gets made because Channel 4 has public money to produce programs
with challenging content. Any involvement is likely to be detrimental. As
for ms Palmara, she *would* say that, she is somewhat biased about her view
of Eurotrash.

So I've got myself the POTA background screen with Attar looking at me. I've been looking at him a lot too and have noticed a group of rather 'artificial' looking vertical ridges on his forhead, just between the eyes. My guess is this is more than just charater design, but has something to do with genetic tampering. But I could be wrong - Jeff Doten

Well guys, I stopped by our local TRU and lo and behold they had a whole
slew of the new figs! Everyone figured they'd be popping up soon! Anyone
have any idea which ones are more rare?

Generally the female characters are packaged one per case as action figures
are targeted at boys.

I would have to agree.

While the bad guys are always the more popular, the females are the ones that always go up in value.

I believe a mint in package Princess Leih is worth today about $500.00 last time I checked.

I have to agree. I enjoy that fact that it almost seems as if we do not
exist. Just take comfort in the fact that we're out there. I wonder what
they'll think of us after the new film is out. Will the old fans be
overshadowed by the new? Fine by me. Let them take all the flak. We'll go
back to being like the secret service.

Hi Bry,  it's the other Bri here.

Yes, Mr Booth Colman is alive and well.  I think Jeff said he was at the  Shrine APE show last weekend, and he visited our studio last year (see attached) for an interview and a hand casting session.  Really nice guy.  We used his hands for our Dr. Zaius mannequin, so there's a little bit of both Zaius' in the final work. <http://apemania.com/DISPLAYS/MANNEQUINS/Orangs.htm>

I've heard talk of a sequel, but no talk of a series as of yet.  Jeff, what've you heard?

Tommy Lee as an ape?  Not bad...

I have a book of TV reviews by Leslie Halliwell, the famed British movie
critic ("Halliwell's Film Guide"). He gave the "Apes" TV show a good entry
and said "the usual public indifference to quality merchandise resulted in a
quick cancellation". Even the British critics dug it! - - - Jeff K.
