I thought Wahlberg was terrible, really terrible. For me he was one
of the main factors that ruined the movie, I realise he was working
from a script written by a labotomised baboon, but there really is no
excuse for acting that wooden!

Daniel

Yeah Sci-Fi is showing a lot of Batman's in a row lately.
As far as how Apes was doing this weekend.
I went to a 30 screen Mega-Shmegaplex Friday.
an 11:05 & 11:10 shows were listed on the computer.
But when I got there, there was only an 11:05 show.
Only maybe 10 people in the theater and when It was over,
I guy jumped on his phone to say, 'yeah, it was bad.'
How they managed to pander to low brow audiences,
and still have them not get the ending is a mystery that will
keep them guessing for years.

I can't remember if I saw any episodes of the series. At the time, I
was one who thought all TV production was crap.

Hey Mez

They're dissing our beloved TV show!

First of all, I think Wahlberg is a good actor, given the right director.
But he's not a hero type, he's an anti-hero. He should have played a Heston
type, instead they cast him as Ron Harper. But I think they would need him
to legitimize a sequel to the public and theatres. Hollywood is about

On the Internet Movie Database somebody left a review of the film that
mentioned that at the theatre this person saw the movie at several people
clapped at the end, but were shouted down with boos from most everybody else

It's OK I guess. I think "Batman" and "Batman Returns" are both OK, but
neither is close to a perfect film. I think Burton's POTA is a better Apes
film than either of those are a Batman film. I guess I just like Returns a
little better. "Batman: The Animated Series" is the definitive portrayl of
the character for me.

I do like Nicholsan's portrayl of the Joker (many do not), but I hated how
they tied the Joker into Batman's origin, I disliked Basinger as Vicky Vale
and the first film started the annoying precedent in the series of Batman
revealing his identity to everyone left and right (actually in this case it
was Alfred who spilled the beans. I sever out-of-character move for him). I
don't like the Joker getting killed either.

Wait, this is not the Batman discussion list?

Same with Kim.
She would sip her can of Sego through a straw and have a nap. She felt it was best to save her energy for the camera. She didn't lose any weight though, due to the inactivaty.

I agree. I not only like to see more Apes, but better Apes. With the standard that Burton set, that shouldn't be difficult. I'd certainly like the see a new Apes movie where the positive reviews outweigh the negative ones.

Sorry, Dan and Mez, but I wasn't dissing anyone or thing. Thanks to
Dan's unfortunate editing of my words, you miss the part where I
stated that I would welcome a DVD set of the shows. I was simply
stating that 25 years ago, I [me by myself] thought that "ALL" TV
production was crap, not just the POTA show.

All these years later, I sorta kinda regret that I didn't get into
it. I do have a pack of the Topps trading cards that I held onto.

I did keep up with the animated series, though. ;-)

Hey. I've just been linked to this board from a friend on AOL
(MLCCOUGAR). It seems pretty cool. Anyway, here's some Apes info on
me. :)

Favorite Apes movie - Planet of the APes 2001 (but only by a smidgen).

Second favorite - Conquest/ Original. It's a tie.

Favorite Character - General Thade, Ceasar.

My favorite director - Tim Burton.

Anyways... my name is Joe just so you know. My e-mail is
CheeseGOTAS@... is you want to e-mail me. I hope to have fun
posting here. :)

Any chance that the animated episode "A Date With Judy" actually was done and would accompany the rest of the series on DVD some day?

Possibly the release of the Animated series? I'd watch that before I'd watch the new film again. But, I always did enjoy the animated series.

I was thinking that maybe you and i could tell as many people we know to
write in, also maybe both of us should send an E-mail to all and any planet
of the apes web sites to post this info.
E-mail me
I'll be on later

Haven't we been through this before?   Folks, I spent over six years
requesting from Fox that the give the original a Special Edition laserdisc,
with audio commentary and all that.  This was when Roddy McDowall was still
alive.  I was talking to a brick wall.  I must have written a letter a month.
 They couldn't have cared less.  Fox has a love/hate relationship with APES
that I think is mostly hate.  Why do you think the new movie is the way it
is?  They don't understand it, not what makes it work, not what makes it
popular.

Where am I going with this?  I don't know, except that I'm sick of being a
dancing monkey for the endless parade of assholes at Fox.

Maybe we'll get the TV series on DVD, maybe not.   I'm tired.

Only joking 'J' with my selective editing, I was really just trying
to get across that a lot of apes fans dismissed the tv show wheras a
few of us (ok about 2 or 3) look back on it with heaps of fondness,
and remain gutted to this day that it was cancelled so soon. Check
out Mez's Yahoo group 'friends and fugitives', it is purely for fans
of the tv show.

  "A Date With Judy" was never an episode or a script. It was a new name in the novelization for the episode "The Unearthly Prophecy". In Joe Russo's book there's an interview with "Apes" Animated creator Doug Wildey who says he wrote 3 stories for later episodes that were never filmed. But there's no unused episodes.

I haven't been through half the rigamarole you've endured with this,
Rory -- only the tv series crap since April -- so I'm not too tired
to be pissed off. There's nothing that yanks my chain faster than
game-playing at fan expense. And if FOX is raising the bar again on
this DVD release that's exactly what they're doing...playing games.

If given the choice between believing FOX Marketing VP Straddon
(whose chat transcript I think you pointed us to on the 16th) or
this 'Tanisha' person, I'll go with the VP. In the meantime, the new

I'm not new to the Apes series in anyway, even though it may seem
that way from how old I am (15) compared to how old some other people
are of this group. You see, my older brothers (the oldest being 32)
were really into Planet of the Apes when they were younger, and they
still are. Now, when I was born ('85) they passed a lot of knowledge
of Planet of the Apes onto me, and a lot of Planet of the Apes
merchandise. :) Anyway, here I am today, 15 years old, the 'sci-
geek kid' at my school. Haha.

I liked Apes 2001 so much... I have no clue why. Maybe it's because
Burton is my favorite director. I thought General Thade was a
badass, and all of the other characters had great developement, too.
I love how the story took a twist when Leo found out how life started
on that planet when he reached the Oberon again. Really, I thought
it was a brilliant movie, but by saying that, you may think I don't
know anything about the older ones... but I do. I assure you, I live
for the Apes series, and nothing is going to stop me. :)

Anyway, thanks for welcoming me to the board.

I haven't heard this before, but it seems Warner Brothers cancelled plans to
re-release "2001: A Space Odyssey" to theatres a while back.

So, not only could the original POTA not get a re-release, the mighty 2001
hasn't either.  And these are two legendary SF films!

And if you agree that POTA (2001) is a less than wonderful film, then with
the failure of "A.I." and bunch of other SF films, then 2001 has really
turned out to be one lousy year for SF!!!

Go get 'em, Mez! Tell 'em if they won't release the show then don't bother
to release the movie either.

By the way, the original movies are out in stores on DVD again. My local
Tower has a stack of the original, plus some of the boxed sets. It's the
"Evolution" one, no new packaging. I also saw in "Entertainment Weekly" an
ad for them showing Heston evolving into Cornelius (by way of Lucius). Full
page ad. Maybe if this sells well, the TV show will be a go.

Also saw a 2001 rerelease of the original sndtrk CD. It's a cheap affair
($5 -6) but includes "The Hunt". Might be worth it for the packaging.

Yes, the new Entertainment Weekly with Tom Cruise and "FALL MOVIE PREVIEW" on

Yeah, it was cheap, so I bought it for the packaging. All the cues are the

  "A Date With Judy" was never an episode or a script. It was a new name in the novelization for the episode "The Unearthly Prophecy". In Joe Russo's book there's an interview with "Apes" Animated creator Doug Wildey who says he wrote 3 stories for later episodes that were never filmed. But there's no unused episodes.

Agree. I liked AI up until the time she leaves him in the woods, then it
became Pinochio finds toy land type a-thingy. Except for the scenes where
the AI's are being used for target practise, etc, that was kind of
entertaining (but there were no suprises there either).
The end was kinda neat (AI's are now the only beings on the planet and the
ship they travel in is just damn cool.) up to a point. Then it felt like a
Pinochio meets his frosty fairy godmother tale.
The movie could have been very good, and instead it was more curious and odd
and...groan!
Oh well.

Allright, forget that. I just checked Alex's site and got all of the info.
This is coming out on November 20 (a week before my birthday). The price
point is $49.95 (I bet it will be in the $30s on sale during the first week
of release). The set will be in mono (aaarrrghhh!) and extras include TV
spots and a still gallery (yippee!).

I don't mean to be a spoilsport and I am happy the thing is finally being
released, but having it in mono is extremely frustrating. I don't know much
about the technical aspects of this kind of stuff, but would surround sound
be that difficult to pull off? And the extras seem a bit skimpy. I would at
least like to see the McDowell interviews from the Sci-Fi Chanel and some
more of the James Naughton footage from BEHIND.

It would cost them around $10,000.00 an episode to convert the original mono
to stereo, and it wouldn't be all that great anyway.  I've got DSP modes in
my Pioneer AV reciever that will spread out the mono sound to all five
channels, and if I raise the center channel level so dialogue sounds fairly
centered, it sounds pretty good.

I suggest you experiment with your audio equipment to find out if you can do
the same.

Now. . . . Just be thankful the damn thing is coming out!!!!

sequel, so I guess that's true.

Uh...actually it was reported on the IMDB that Burton would
absolutely not do a sequel because the studio made the project so
difficult to complete.

I got the Batman movie from the 60's on dvd yesterday at Wal*Mart for only
$15. I'm having it signed by West and Ward.

Hi, my name is Tom and I've been lurking on this POTA group.

Where did you get your info about "A Date With Judy"? Do
you have the Return to the POTA #4 book? I had thought it
was a script that never got made. I thought "The Unearthly
Prophecy" was in the Return to the POTA #1 book?

Thanks-

Hello again everyone.

I saw the new film this afternoon (I was waiting until the school holidays
finished so the cinema would be devoid of noisy kids!). Currently working my
way through 1711 ape-related messages. Back later!

Alan

Ummmmm....did someone say "SPOILERS"???

Agree. I liked AI up until the time she leaves him in the woods, then it
became Pinochio finds toy land type a-thingy. Except for the scenes where
the AI's are being used for target practise, etc, that was kind of
entertaining (but there were no suprises there either).
The end was kinda neat (AI's are now the only beings on the planet and the
ship they travel in is just damn cool.) up to a point. Then it felt like a
Pinochio meets his frosty fairy godmother tale.
The movie could have been very good, and instead it was more curious and odd
and...groan!
Oh well.

I LOVE "Legend of Hell House".  In fact, Rory, I've had that date marked
into my calendar book for a few months now.  I doubt it will have many
special features, but it will be nice to have a DVD replacement for the
tape that I've almost worn out.

Yeah!!!  The movie will look and sound so much better than your old tape.  
It's in stereo, too, so Matt might like it as well!

Oh dear. And I called FOX 'avaricious' in a letter to them today.

Thanks for this, Alex. :) /Mez
