Well I think the love story is central - Jedi are not allowed to love so Anakin blames Obi-Wan for his sneaking around with the queen.  The Emperor will play on this!!!

 

It looks good - and no sign of Binks!!

What did you think of the "Star Wars" trailer?  After viewing it twice now, I'm interested in seeing everything in the movie EXCEPT THE LOVE STORY!!!  PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE!

Yeah, I noticed that in the press release too, but I suspect that they were
referring to the different formats more than anything else. I really can't
see any demand for a sequel from the games-buying public and more
importantly I can't see what they'd have left to explore - the game covered
all the major parts of the story.

Is this on again? A new film of this has been on the cards for years (an
article in SFX showed some pre-production sketches from Ridley Scott's
version, deemed too expensive to make) but seems to be even more troubled
than the history of the new Apes film.

It's one of my favourite books, but it's difficult to see how they could
film it and still remain faithful to the book. I love "The Omega Man" (I
haven't seen the Vincent Price version) but it bore as much resemblance to
the book as Planet of the Apes did to Boulle's novel. And the thought of a
classic like this in the hands of Michael Bay and Will Smith makes me want
to puke.

But anyway, back to apes...

I see the new UK DVD box set is anamorphic... the US one wasn't though, was
it?

"I Am Legend" is an excellent book.  I can imagine it being filmed faithfully, but they won't do it.  Filmed faithfully I see it as a black and white movie, very much like a Twilight Zone episode.

Thank Semos indeed.

I went to Curcit City, Spec's Music, Walmart and Best Buy. And not one of them had the T.V. Series. Only the POTA 2001 movie.

 

Any leads as to where I can find it.

The retailer I go to is expensive but does have it for $44.99

I'm trying to find it cheaper.

 

Best.

Al

 

P.S. I'm off to work. So it seems I'm going to have to pick it up tomorrow at the retailer if I don't find it anywhere else.

It's anamorphic? That's cool. You're referring to the DVD anamorphic and
not "scope", right?

If "Legend" interests you check out aintitcool.com, they have Bay's

"I Am Legend" is an excellent book.  I can imagine it being filmed faithfully, but they won't do it.  Filmed faithfully I see it as a black and white movie, very much like a Twilight Zone episode.

Well, I have both the TV show and the new movie today.  Amazon brought them right to my door -- "It's the only way to fly!"

Well, anyway, I sure do have a lot of POTA DVDs now, the original film (with my 'proper cover'), the boxed set of the movies, the "Behind" S.E., the TV series, and the new movie!   Forgetting for a moment that, to say the least, I'm not all that crazy about the the new movie, this DVD collection is "POTAriffic"!  And I've just read in the latest Widescreen Review magazine the a Five-Star Edition DVD of the original will probably happen in 2003.  So, things are pretty good, POTA-wise.  Now let's just hope a sequel gets made and they do it right this time.

Oh yeah, Widescreen Review also said that along with a Five-Star Edition of the original in 2003 will also come anamorphic transfers of the sequels.  So, perhaps there will be a boxed set of the sequels.  Now to sell that Fox will need plenty of extras AND a director's cut of CONQUEST and an expanded edition of BATTLE would be a damn fine idea.

Also, speaking of anamorphic video. . . . on these new digital 16X9 sets, if the DVD isn't in anamorphic, a letterboxed movie on DVD really looks like crap.  Over the weekend I was at an electronics store and was looking at a bunch of 50" plasma TVs.   Guys and girl-illas, I have seen the promised land.  This is the way to go in the future.  F***ing Fantastic picture!

 Bill watched some of the TV eps on DVD with me and gave me a lot of tid bits as we watched. He pointed out when Roddy's double, Ron Stein, was on screen, which was a lot (including full face and even a word or two). He's familiar with the Fox Ranch and pointed out when the rock where Caesar had the council meeting in "Battle" was in the background. Most of the episodes had the same village redressed but the "Good Seeds" farm was separate. Bill had a field day with the farm apes' makeup because of the varied quality. He pointed out that the BART set in "The Trap" had set pieces from the 'Ape Management' in "Conquest" and "Battle".  The ship was boiler plate metal not "plywood" (a pet peeve of his). In "The Gladiator" it's the same arena used in the first 2 flicks which stayed around until the late '70's. The series added to it including the holding area for the combatants and an arch in the front. The arena was also used as the entrance to the 'Mountain City' in the 1977 pilot to the "Logan's Run" TV show. They went to Universal to shoot the destroyed city in "The Trap" 'cause that's where they had filmed "Earthquake".

The brown insert on Roddy's chimp suit wasn't leather like the other chimps', it was vinyl (Roddy McDowall #1).

                                                        - - - - Jeff




Excellent inside info there.  Fox should have hired him to do a running commentary for each episode.  (Cheap Fox bastards!)   I remember being able to spot Roddy's double all the time on the TV show AND in BATTLE.  Roddy also refused most of the time during the show to have his hands made up, so you'll notice he's wearing hairy gloves.  I can't believe that the arena part of Ape City stood from 1967 until the late seventies.  I wish it was still there.  Has Bill seen the Bank America commercial that's currently running that shows a bunch of kids at the rock pool where Taylor took his dip in PLANET?  Anyone else here spotted it?

 One thing I noticed while flipping through the TV show DVDs that I missed on my snowy "Christmas In Connecticut" versions taped off TV: In "The Cure", when they return to the village and see the dead people by the water, check out the funky animated mosquitoes. At first it looks like negative dust particles but I couldn't believe it when I realized what it was. It must be true what Bill Blake said, that they were playing up to the more primitive TVs people had then. That's why they put the white stripes on the gorilla uniforms and colored in the markings on Urko's helmet (which was actually the same one used by Ursus). They wanted to make sure people with their small black and white TVs could see things.

I think the thing was that portable TVs were big in the early '70's and
many of those were black and white.

Yup. I still have one. A little red Hitachi with an 8 inch screen. I used
to use it in the kitchen until the cord got finicky. I have a 3 inch color
now that I use in the bedroom. But know when my main 20 inch color set
finally goes a better one will be in reach. Hopefully a wide screen plasma!
Then I'll be wathcing all the Apes movies in style with 3D glasses!

The guys in the Buckaroo Banzai group have shirts that say "Laugh While You
Can Monkey Boy!" I see that as an Apes shirt . . . With a picture of Tim
Burton on it.

I'm noticing other things too, like Roddy's gloves, the extensive use of
his double and some truly shoddy makeup. These were shot for the TVs of the
day and I'm sure they had no idea the shows would be "collected" and
scrutinized on DVD ("whatever that is"). - - -

 No, Bill's pet peeve is that the POTA magazine in the '70's said it was plywood and that misinformation has been repeated through the years, including in "Behind the POTA". And Bill has checked out the ship in person.                                     - - - Jeff

It's the six foot model that you see sinking in the movie that was made out of plywood.

$39.99 is a good price, there several Best Buys here.

Best.

I got it for $37.49 at Amazon, and the new movie for $22.95.  I had to pay $7.96 for two-day shipping, but when you figure in that there's no sales tax AND I don't have to waste gas driving around looking for these things, it's worth it.

Yep, Twilight Zone indeed. But it's not easy to see them making a film in
which the main character would primarily have to talk to himself (they'd
have to introduce something like the bust Heston spoke to in The Omega Man).

One thing's for certain, it's not the sort of film you'll get from Michael
Bay, that's for sure.

No idea, I don't own them myself, I just read it somewhere recently and was
sure that the US set wasn't anamorphic.
