Well, if you wait as long to read this you'll have forgotten waht the
question was.
But, it was about the way television interviewers portray Apes fans and try
and turn us into some kind of Trekies.

The Learning Channel is showing an interesting look at the making of the
Statue of Liberty right now. Ironically enough the first glimpse anyone got
of it was of the torch, arm and head. In order to get funding Bartolli sent
the torch arm to New York and displayed the head in Paris. Interesting that
the original story and the icon most associated with it both came from France.

As we're looking at (in our media studies course at high school) all
the original POTA films and also studying Pierre Boulle's original
novel),we have to conduct a net poll amongst casual or preferably
advanced POTA film fans on the two questions below.   If I could tap
into the POTA creative wit and extensive knowledge of any readers,
I'd greatly appreciate it.

Isn't school out for the summer????I'm with Whitty on this one,this seems
like a fraud.I hope you guys don't fall for it either.

Webmaster,

I would be honored to write some fanfics based on characters
from the TV series and animated series called "JEDI APES" a crossover of
the STAR WARS (Special Edition Trilogy & Prequel Trilogy) and the
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES movies of the 90s. It goes like this...

"Somewhere in the early future circa 2015AD in the futuristic
town Hill Valley (From Back To The Future II - Back To The Future The
Ride) a crimewave terrorizes all its citizens with the police unable to
solve the crimes. Space Ace the laserdisc animated videogame superhero
is attempting to solve the crimes when he is ambushed by black-clad
warriors with glowing red eyes. Then he gets rescued by intelligent
talking apes who are trained & skilled in the mysterious powers of the
living FORCE "The Jedi Apes" they are..."

Urses as Leonardo - Gorilla Jedi Knight (Blue Lightsaber)
Urko as Donatello - Gorilla Jedi Knight (Purple Lightsaber)
Galen as Michaelangelo - Chimpanzee Jedi Knight (Yellow Lightsaber)
Ceaser as Raphael - Chimpanzee Jedi Knight (Red Lightsaber)

"These primates are trained by their teacher Ninjara a lady fox
samauri mutant (Archies Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventure comics)
who was once a padawan student under her master Merlin the first Jedi
Knight (Disney Sword In The Stone) until he was struck down by the Sith
Lord Gargamel (Smurfs Cartoon) who then became Emperor Zurg (Disney Buzz
Lightyear Of Star Command) and leads his Empire Syndicate of the
ShadowKahn (Ghost Ninjas from WB-Kids Jackie Chan Adventures) to conquer
Earth and the universe. Here is the entire cast of characters:

SPLINTER as Ninjara
APRIL as Space Ace
LEONARDO as Urses
DONATELLO as Urko
RAPHAEL as Ceaser
MICHAELANGELO as Galen
SHREDDER as Lord Zurg
TATSU as MewTwo
FOOT CLAN as ShadowKahn
CASEY JONES as Team Rocket

I await the GREEN LIGHT from anybody out there who would be
interested in having me write this fanfic for their PLANET OF THE APES
webpages. May the FORCE be with you Jedi Ape Knights!

P.S. SPACE ACE is the name I use based on the character from the

If ever there was a futuristic type film for Planet of the Apes, I think seeing the apes in those Empire type SS suits with tall boots form Star Wars would be pretty neat. (minus the light sabers of course) beyond that I couldn't imagin seeing an ape in a three piece suit, nor anything done before for a futuristic look.

So who knows, perhaps a seqaul to Burton's Apes might have something like this.
A Real Apes Empire Look! That would be mind blowing.

Alex

This is good news indeed - Jerry usually plays a suite from Planet of the

the suite again). It consists of The Search Continues, The Hunt, and one
other piece which I've rather criminally forgotten at the moment.

hanging out with good ol' Robot Frank (www.robotfrank.com).

Just thought you might want to see one of my projects that I finally
completed. I have been working on this for some time now (2 years)
and I thought I would get your opinions. I know it is far from
correct but I am pretty proud of how it turned out.

http://www.members.aol.com/andygarringer/mycarbine2.jpg

All the carbine parts are cast in resin from my original WWII carbine
and the stock is solid white oak. I cut the basic shape with a band
saw and the final shaping was all done with an electric palm sander.
Stained a dark mahogany and then a semi gloss polyurethane. The
leather sling is an original WWII sling that I bought off ebay.

I made the gun rack after seeing the cool ones that Brian sells on
his Apemania site. Mine is made with the blue building foam and then
painted with fleckstone paint. A final wash of dirty black to give it
that "used" look. The POTA nametag was cast in resin from one of the
Hasbro small action figure bases and then painted to resemble rust.

Be gentle, it's my first 1:1 prop.

Don't quote me but, as far as I know, none of the novelizations were hard
cover.
You can only find the original in hardback.

T,

Good thing you said "not to quote you".I have BATTLE as a hardcover with the
same cover photo and back write up as the paperback.Plus I have seen RTTPOTA
# 1 as a hardcover on eBay (same photo cover/back write up as the
paperback),and I know TV series # 1 Man,the Fugitive is also available that
way.

So if anyone knows of any others, please let the group know.Thanks.<.html

Hey Gang,

contest, feel free to e-mail me with your top choice!

Oh, here's the link: <http://apemania.com/CONTEST.htm>

I heard a POTA reference on The Simpsons today...
Bart and Homer started racing a horse called Furious D
The announcer remarked on his attitude saying could this be the beginning of
the Planet of the Horses? And took off running.

After reading the Ape issue of that ST mag Starlog, I realized that no
one is getting what they want out of this film. But that also holds true
with the first one.
Baker wanted baboon shock troops. Burton fought for what he wanted before
knuckling under to the studio. The only one who's getting what he wants is
Dick Zanyuk. He's getting a Tim Burton Ape movie...and a big pile of money.

At this point all I want is to be able to enjoy it without going...WTF?
Oh, BTW...only female chips this go 'round. Rick didn't have time for
anything else.
Which goes back to what I've been saying for sometime... They sat on their
thumbs for nearly ten years, and then what? They shoot the damn thing in six
months and put it out in less than a year. Everyone says, "We didn't rush
it." with the same conviction that the cops insist the congressman is not a
suspect in the intern's disappearance. It was rushed. Either someone is
setting release dates by their horoscope, or they just want some quick cash
to cover all the stinkburgers they've been churning out. Lets hope they take
some time with the next ones. And not shoot them back to back like the new
SWs or Matrix sequels. If they can't get Gilliam for the sequels, I hope
Burton will come back and flesh out his "World". Maybe we'll see a society
with females from other species, or at least a plot that's a bit more than
Gorilliator.

Well, I've just returned from a two-week vacation.  I was almost completely
cut off, no computer around at all, but I was able to watch the Sci-Fi
Channel on satellite and the first thing I saw when I turned it on was one of
the two commercials they're running for the new movie.  If I was in at around
five in the afternoon, I'd watch a classic Star Trek episode just to see the
new POTA commercial during it.  I can remember watching Star Trek on NBC in
'68 and seeing a commercial for the original POTA.  It's a strange feeling.

I guess from the e-mails I've just gotten through that the new POTA figures
can now be found at Toys-r-us and Wal-Mart (though the Wal-Mart where I was
didn't have them.  I also need to get to a bookstore and checkout the
magazine rack.

And I guess tomorrow night on MTV there will be a behind-the-scenes show on
the new movie (at 10:30 est), and the Elfman score CD will be out on July
24th.

Anyone know when HBO will be showing their POTA promo stuff?

I'm a little surprised we're not reading about people having had a sneak peek
at the new movie, but I guess Fox wants to keep a lid on it for as long as
possible (though I hope that's not because they expect bad word of mouth).

Oh, by the way....  The only movie I've seen in the last two weeks was "A.I."
  I was VERY disappointed with it.  I think Kubrick, if he'd lived, either
would have made something better, or passed on the whole thing (which I guess
he did).  I think the idea was interesting, but the Pinocchio analogy was
just so forced it became really silly -- and the bit with humans wanting to
watch the androids be brutally destroyed was just stupid.  It was all just
typical of Spielberg plastic and shallow imagination.  He should have known
he didn't have a good enough screenplay and hired a better writer than
himself.

So, you'll all be hearing from me again now.   See Ya!

What would the SPCA say?

And what about the nice man with the kids who read our posts (the one who

know about synonyms of a "horse ride"!

What is this beastial world coming to?

He and Jeffery Krapinbastard still owe me money! For VJing at Lameworks.
Until I get it I'm not paying a penny to see his shite!

I just saw the new commercial during Futurama. I'm seeing too much plot. I
hope my theory is wrong. But I won't talk about it here, in case I'm right.
Now, lets hear no more about horse hookers.

.htmlThe original POTA soundtrack cd has been released yet again.I just picked it
up at Media Play for $6.99.The cover is the same shot of Zaius as on the LP
cover,but with more of the dark background to the left and it has the APES
logo in white.The back cover has 4 photos, Taylor, Zaius, Nova, and
Marcus.Also, the inner tray has B&W photos from the film as well.

It has 11 tracks:

Main Title
The Search
The Clothes Snatchers
The Hunt
A New Mate
The Revelation
No Escape
New Identity
A Bid For Freedom
The Forbidden Zone
The Cave

It is on the Masters label (Masters 1249).I didn't know of this reissue,so I
thought I'd let you know as well.<.html

.htmlI got out to my local Borders today.  Found that Thade from the new film is
on the cover of Fangoria (or Fangora?), and I also finally saw the Makeup
Artist mag with him on the cover too.  But all this was really soured for me
when I picked up the latest issue of Scr(i)pt magazine and read the cover
article on the screenplay for the new film.   "Oh my God!" do they rip it.  
All my worst fears for what this film will be like have been confirmed.  They
say that all the intellect and resonant meaning of the original film have
been abandoned and that you can pretty much expect just a meaningless
hodgepodge of action scenes with the new film.  And that not one of the
characters and match those of the original.  This is pretty much what I
expected, but I was hoping for the best.  Now I fear the worst.

I guess the problem is Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal being hired to do
the rewrite.  Even the "Unoffical Companion" book that I bought this
afternoon says their hiring is "the cinematic equivalent of having Jackie
Collins punch up Tom Wolfe."

Speaking of that book. . . I bought it for some of the pictures in it (You
can see Jeff Krueger with and without a beard -- I guess he goes in for
fads.)    Anyway, most of the text isn't anything we don't already know, and
some of the author's mistakes are funny.

I also bought the new paperback version of Boulle's book, though I don't like
the type-set they've used.

A strange one is finding a new CD of Goldsmith's PLANET score.  I thought
Varese Sarabande had the rights to this, but Borders had this CD from
"Intercontinental Record & Cassette Inc." out of Hauppauge, NY.   What's
really strange is that it's not the complete score, but what Intrada put out
nearly ten years ago, only this time  the 11 tracks are in the order they
were in the film.  They also use reproductions of the original LP jacket.  
The best thing about it was that it was just $6.00!  I haven't played it yet,
but I'll bet the Varese Sarabande CD sounds better.  A very strange find.  
This score sure gets around.

I also stopped at Toys-R-Us and saw all the new action figures, but after
being so depressed by what I read in Scr(i)pt magazine, I just looked.  Until
I see this new movie and know whether I like it or not, I'm just not all that
interested.

I also saw that the latest issue of Action Figure and Toy Digest (or whatever
it's called) has a big article on POTA figures from Mego to the Hasbro new
film ones.  Worth getting.  (Sorry I can't remember the title of the mag.)

Well, that's it from me. . . for now.

.htmlHi everyone,read the Paper today and it shows Jurrasic Park 3 VS Planet apes
who will be number one at box office.the reviewer thinks apes has a good
chance but kids will like the Dinos better How dare he say that! He mentions
Planet has been retired since 1975  and Jurassic park has already had two
sucessful sequals and spielburg is better at films.Though he said there is
bigger star power in planet apes Michael Duncan, and Mark Whalberg .He seemed
to think Jurassic will do Better,Anyone read any negitive things in their
papers? Bryan<.html

It has been quiet. My wife just brought home her much bigger computer than our home one so I've rewatching the Apes preview a few hundred times now. Has anyone mentioned that Leo crash's in water, is thrown into a wagon just like the original series ones, and sees Linda Harrison there. I like all the echos off the original stuff. I'm pumped.

Yeah, I'm getting the feeling about the best we can hope for is a popcorn

What has happened to the sophisticated audiences of yesteryear?
That's why the original was a blockbuster! It had something for everyone.
Not just the masses.
They'll still turn a profit.

<< guess the problem is Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal being hired to do

Yeah, everyone seems to be in agreement that the first draft of the script,
the one they were two cheap to make, was superior to the rewrite. Though
with centaurs, I don't know. Anyway, we can hope that, if they pick up the
franchise, this series will get better instead of worse as they go along.

<< He mentions Planet has been retired since 1975 and Jurassic park has

I think that will work against them. There's been a JP out every couple few
years. No one's seen an Apes flick on the big screen in nearly a generation.
I just hope that since the new POTA has put all it's eggs in the action
basket that they'll have something that can compete with people being eaten
alive by giant lizards!

.htmlThere are some reviews of JPIII on the Ain't-it-cool-news website.  They are
very mixed.  Some are quite disappointed with it, saying the first two were
much better.

Boy, this has really been a very disappointing Summer movie season.  
Everything is mediocre.  I think it's just that there aren't good
screenwriters out there.

Well, let's hope APES has something about it everyone digs.

I think there are good writers out there. But if they write a good script,
they'll bring in a couple of hacks to "punch it up" and then if you get a
good director, the studio will rein in any efforts to try and salvage
anything good from the now watered down script or any good ideas of his own.
Sound familiar?

Seeing that MTV special really made me want to see the film; I'm kind
of tired of seeing everything out of context. Also, I thought that
Rule the Planet remix thing kind of sucked, it just didn't work very
well, all that echo and reverb and shit on the sound bites was pretty
bad.

.html <.html

so what do you people think of the beginning narration that is to
accompany the film (it's in one of the trailers so I assume it will
be in the film)? I don't mind narration so much, as long as it isn't
completely stupid, condescending, or pointless. Still though, most
people tend to hate narration.

I'm not too crazy about it, and I hope it's not in the film.  I've read that
Burton thinks the original films had a kind of fairy tale quality too them
(!), so maybe he's trying to beat that over our heads, but I hope it doesn't
survive to the final film.

Seems the production is 3-4 days behind shedule with post-production
special-effects work still underway whilst live-action reshoots of the
opening 'rocket crash' scene took place just two weeks ago - "We were in the
lab all weekend long.  We've never done a film on this tight a schedule" says
FOX Vice Chairman Bob Harper.  The July 27th release will be met but it will
be extremely close (execs at the studio apparently haven't seen the film yet
either).

This is almost unbelievable!  I don't know if this is good or bad, but it
seems bad.  I wonder if even Burton has a grasp of things.
