Subject: RE: [Planet of the Apes] Perfect Sense (OT)

Waters wanted to use quotes from 2001:A Space Odyssey in the background of this song, but Kubrick would not allow it.

 

Needless to say, as with most things Kubrick denied the general public (such as DVDs and VHS of A Clockwork Orange), when he died this ceased.  If you get Waters’ latest release CD (“In The Flesh”) it has a live recording of “Perfect Sense”, complete with HAL having a “nervous breakdown”.

 

Of course, Roger wrote all Pink Floyd’s lyrics from 1973 (Dark Side of the Moon) to The Final Cut.  He then went solo.

 

I met him in Sydney before a concert almost one year ago today and he signed a t-shirt for me.

 

What does this have to do with POTA?  Nothing.

The monkey sat on a pile of stones
And he stared at the broken bone in his hand
And the strains of a Viennese quartet
Rang out across the land
The monkey looked up at the stars
And he thought to himself
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
And he cleaned his hands
In a pool of holy writing
Turned his back on the garden
And set out for the nearest town
Hold on hold on soldier
When you add it all up
The tears and the marrowbone
There's an ounce of gold
And an ounce of pride in each ledger
And the Germans killed the Jews
And the Jews killed the Arabs
And the Arabs killed the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder
That the monkey's confused
He said Mama Mama
The President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading
These technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff
and the brokers on Wall Street said
Don't make us laugh
You're a smart kid
Time is linear
Memory's a stranger
History's for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God Almighty
And they gave him command
Of a nuclear submarine
And sent him back in search of
The Garden of Eden

Oh yeah, and Jeff forgot to add the bit that is most relevant to the world today:

 

“Can’t you see

It all (ie WAR) makes perfect sense

Expressed in dollars and cents

Pounds shillings and pence

Can’t you see

It all makes perfect sense”

 

It’s a business.

I don't know the whole history off the top of my head but you can bet
the publisher knew about this and it looked at that point as if it
would be filmed in 1965. I think Zanuck authorized Jacobs to buy it
for Fox in '63 but got cold feet.

***Is this the version with the ape illustration? [see above]

I have that, a hardcover U.S. edition, a german edition and 2
different movie editions. And a French edition from the '90's. - - -

1966. We all know that A.P.Jacobs gave pitches to all the other
studios, which "passed" on it (even Fox, prior to Zanuck's
inevitable "okay"-ing of it)... so, just because the film rights had
been bought, why does this New American Library/Signet 1st edition
paperback say that POTA "will be filmed in 1965"?

published hardcover geared towards 'books-which-were-the-basis-for-
classic-movies', with a film-spool design on the dust jacket, and now
this Signet 1st edition paperback, which has a white-furred gorilla
face on the cover.

Well, the theme of the album (other than the really obvious anti-war theme) is that humanity has overdone it in the technology department to the point of extinction – a very similar theme to much of POTA I agree (but I don’t think it was an INTENDED link…the monkey references are mainly to 2001: A Space Odyssey).

That's why it's OT and not on the other group. Now, what comic book
did you want to talk about? - - - Jeff

*** Roger Waters' "AMUSED TO DEATH" is not all that "off topic", in
my opinion. Look at the album cover: an ape watching a TV set.
Reminds me of "ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES"...

Bill Bonds: "Goodnight."
Zira [to the newscaster]: "Goodnight."
[laughter amongst the group of Dixon, Branton, Cornelius & Zira]

"Amused to Death"--of course, they've just been watching an interview
with Hasslein, whose actions lead to the Ape-onauts' deaths.

Planet of the Division Bell

Heard of Publius Enigma? Well here's the answer. Get the CD "The Division Bell" by Pink Floyd, and the movie "Planet of The Apes(1968)". Push play on the CD when the 20th Century Fox logo fades to black.    

The Clues

On the cover of TDB is an ape like face. Open the CD booklet to the song Keep Talking, and there's the monkeys together that make an ape face. In the book "Mind Over Matter" by Storm Thorgerson, go to page 139. In the black cape you'll see an ape face. Stephen Hawkings saying that "Mankind lived just like animals" on TDB song "Keep Talking". And at the very end of TDB CD if you turn the volume all the way up. You'll hear a conversation that synchs up magically with the movie. "Is that you Charlie?" referring to Charlton Heston. It's a trip!     
What You Will See

The song title's describe what's going on in the movie. "CLUSTER ONE" is the intro to the opening credits. You see stars glittering & shooting by. In the CD booklet for this song is a picture of a observatory for watching stars & planets. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME" begins just when the spaceship crashes into the water, and the crew members are asking the same question, as they try to get out. "POLES APART" begins when the last crew member jumps off the spaceship, and they paddle their way towards a new planet. They are now poles apart from earth. "MAROONED", they are now marooned on a desert like planet. Just like the picture in the CD booklet. "A GREAT DAY FOR FREEDOM" is when they discover life on the planet. They discover a flower like plant, and trees by a waterfall. the picture in the CD booklet has flowers floating on water. "WEARING THE INSIDE OUT" is when they go skinny dipping by the waterfall. they're wearing the inside out. "TAKE IT BACK" is when the apes take them back to the camp. "COMING BACK TO LIFE" this is when Charlton Heston comes back to life after being shot in the throat. "KEEP TALKING" Heston communicates through writting. His words won't come out right because he has been shot in the throat. Why won't you talk to me. He can't. "LOST FOR WORDS" Heston is gaged by a muzzle. He then fights his way out of there. The picture in the CD boolet is of boxing gloves. "HIGH HOPES" The ringing of the division bell has begun. Heston is on trial as you hear the bell's ringing at the end. At the very end of the CD, if you turn the volume up. You'll hear "Is that you Charlie" as the apes are looking at Charlton(Charlie)Heston. The picture in the CD booklet for the song "High Hopes" is the same one on page 139 of "Mind Over Matter" which you can see an ape face in the black cape, but not in the CD booklet. Publuis Enigma has struck again^~

It has everything to do with PotA!

I recall there is a website somewhere (can't remember the URL) that
lists Pink Floyd albums and films that they can be played on top of -
one or two of them are genuine I think, and the rest are just ones
that people have tried and they've worked.

Anyway, the point is that apparently there is one Pink Floyd album (it
might be the Division Bell, but I can't remember) that apparently
synchronises perfectly with the original PotA movie.

++I saw on Turner Classics where they played the Wizard of Oz with an option of listening to the Pink Floyd album that syncronizes with it. Amazing.
