Mort Abrahams' Birthday

That reminds me, it's also my father's birthday.

As long as I am ranting...

The thumbnails take up too much room in my Groups list and that
means I have to scroll to the bottom to find everything and that
takes time! (And I really don't have many groups!)


But... where are the ads that usually take up so much room in the
text? Ah Ha! If they leave out the ads, the text works nicer...
And it sure beats seeing those ads!

I access the Group through the homepage, so I find the teeny bit of
extra time getting in to be annoying. However, I would give a lot
(I'm talking attitude here, not money) if they would leave the ads
off the page!!!

I remember that cartoon and its theme song: "King Kong.  You know the name of King Kong.  You know the name of King Kong... "  And I can't remember the rest.  In the cartoon Kong was like a pet dog and was friends with this little boy.  It was pretty silly.

Has any one heard any thing on the release of Taylor and Nova from
Sideshow? I have emailed them a few times asking when they thought
they would be here but have heard nothing (their usual response) from
them. Any one else hear any thing??? The site says the first quater of
2005 but the first quater ends this week

I actually like the new look. Looks better on my monitor.

I'm going to ask everyone to take a moment to say a pray or send
positive thoughts to our friend Kassidy Rae. Her Dad is very ill and
in the hospital this week. I'm sure I speak for everyone in sending
Kass our thoughts and prayers.

Done. We love you, Kass.

I'm still new and don't really know everyone, but I
know enough to realize that having a dad in the
hospital is really rough. I'll be sending good
thoughts her way.

Thanks, you guys. Actually dad is back home, but may be back in the
hospital soon. In the meantime, he's generally giving everyone hell.
Like father, like daughter:)

I appreciate the prayers and good thoughts, there can never be enough.

Mark, my moral component allowed me to write you, but barely;). Don't
you check your emails? Doofus. I wrote a couple of small ones to you.

I'll be around.

I just came online for the first time today...So, better late than

Kass, I hope everything's alright with your father...I see you posted
after James' message that he's home now...That's good...

I know how it can be when our parents get up there in years...I just
lost my father last month...He was 82...

Kass, hope your Dad is better soon. John, Scrolls.

I hope the fact that your Dad is home is a sign of good news. I wish
you both well. I remember when my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer
everyone's nice thoughts meant a lot more than I would have ever
dreamed of. Knowing people care really helps. This was a couple of
years ago and she has recovered and shows no sign of slowing down. I
hope you can say the same for your Dad soon.

Everyone should head on over to Hunter's site
http://www.goatley.com/pota/ to view the Escape trading card set by
Greg P. These cards are a wonderful addition to the Beneath cards Greg
put together a few months ago. Kudos to Greg, Neil Foster and Hunter.

Those are great, but I noticed that the word
"intelligent" is misspelled on the card with the baby
chimp.

Awesome work though. I have to print those out some
time.

You know, it's very easy to take Greg for granted. The guy keeps on
producing simply astonishing Apes projects.These Escape cards are
ORGASMIC! Truly amazing. Greg,I am, as always with you, in awe. Can
we find a way to let Greg sort out designs for Yahoo?John, Scrolls.

The Roddy episode on the biography channel was on Sky over our
hloiday in the UK and it features the Carol Burnett(I've spelt that
wrong, I'm sure) show appearance is on there.It's from 1974 so I'm
wondering if anybody knows when, exactly, that was aired, as it looks
like Roddy as Galen, not Cornelius or Caesar--is it Galen's first
appearance? John, Scrolls.

I've finally given the PotA special edition dvd extras a proper
viewing.Anybody who, like me, just had this lying on their pending
shelf really should take a look. The FULL teat screening is there,
with story board art and voiceover, not just the clips in the Behind
release and it's a gripping piece of work.Roddy's home movie footage
is wonderful--he seems to have filmed the 'his destiny' scene from
the back, with Lou Wagner out of costume and main shot feeding his
line, clearly visible in Roddy's shot. Well worth viewing, pausing
and digesting at leisure! John, Scrolls.

Watch the footage of Don Taylor directing 'Escape', I believe he is drinking a beer.

That episode was aired March 16, 1974. I don't know when the POTA TV series started
taping so I don't know if his appearance coincided with both shows.

The Carol Burnett show appearance was when CBS was very high on POTA.
The first 3 movies had aired that fall to big ratings and CBS was
planning the TV series. I beleive the series started filming in June or
July of '74; so the Carol Burnett appearance was not long before.

Well, if it was aired 16 March, I'm wondering if that just might be
our first glimpse of Galen---maybe they were doing testing for the TV
Series or something.It certainly looks more Galen than Cornelius.It's
a wonderful bit of footage and shows just how amazing that make-up
was.Anybody got the Paul Williams footage ---didn't he do something
similar on Johnny Carson? John, Scrolls.

Another classic! If we could only find a photo of Paul Williams in his make-up on the
Tonight Show. You'd think this would be easy for me being the president of his fan club.

Thank you again to those who contributed.

I am pleased to announce that copies of the TV Series Herald are now
available exclusively to members of the POTA group.

For each of the five original POTA films, FOX produced and
distributed promotional "Heralds" (fictional newspapers) that local
theaters distributed to advertise the release of each new film.
However, no Herald was ever produced for to promote the TV series.

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the series our friends at
Simian Scrolls along with Mark Rogers, Kassidy Rae, Glen Scheetz,
and myself brought together our creative talents and produced a four
page TV version of Fox's "Heralds" as we imagine it would have been
back in the summer of 1974.

PDF Versions of the Herald can be viewed on both Hunter's
http://www.goatley.com/pota/ and Kass's
http://planetoftheapestv.150m.com/herald.html" websites.

Up until now the printed versions have only been available to
contest winners and subscribers of Simian Scrolls. Now we are happy
to make them available to all members of the POTA group.

Getting a your own copy is simple, just send me a self addressed
stamped envelope (Legal size is recommended). That's it. Your copy
of the Herald is free. To all those interested, email me for my home
address if you don't already have it.

There are currently several members of the group who's Yahoo
memberships are bouncing:

fodsem
goape10569
kaej3a
asuaverharv
gorillasnotus
girlwhohuntsufos
douglasketcham

Bouncing is most likely caused by your inbox being full or by a spam
blocker on your mailbox, so it is pretty easy to fix.

When your membership bounces you don't have full access to group
resources and eventually are removed as group member. So it is a
good
idea to fix the problem as soon as you can.

Several re-activation requests and private emails have been sent to
the above members but all attempts at contacting them have failed.
Hopefully they'll stop by the group and read this post and fix the
problem.

Emails have been flying through my inbox this week in the "Finding
Milo Project." Not much to report, but every email and phone call I
get inspires ideas for the next move.

Jim Rogers at APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) has
tried very hard to find information for us about Kelly's history, but
he couldn't find anything. He tells me that the one guy he knows of
who might have been helpful just recently died. It looks like APHIS
doesn't have records that will be helpful. He suggests I find a
contact at the CDC. Hmmm...

Another likely lead (a private party) fell through, which narrows the
search; but I don't feel any closer to a real answer. (Their "Kelly"
was born at their home and is only 10 years old -- although records
say she is older!) I am told that information is on it's way from one
of the research facilities, but nothing has arrived. I'm hopeful, as
this was another good lead. (Of course, I'm hoping that she has been
retired to a [real] sanctuary some place.)

I was told by a chimp breeder, "I hope Kelly was a girl, because she
would stand a better chance of still being alive."

That's it.

Helen

This week I had a really interesting conversation with a woman who
has owned chimps for many years. She actually has some in her home
and wakes in the morning to chimps banging on the zoo-glass window
that separates her bedroom from theirs. She says that even though
the males are apt to vie for attention and show themselves as the
dominant male, that chimps are usually not violent. They tend to
behave like young children, though, and will react to some things as
if they were children having a tantrum. (That is a huge "in a
nutshell" summary and may be a little simplistic.)

Several on this group seem interested in real-life chimps. I'm
wondering if anyone here actually owns or has owned a chimp (or even
a monkey) and whether anyone here has experience working with them.
In fact, I have only seen chimps once, and that is just a dim memory
from my childhood. I'd be interested to know what experience you
all have.

.html I visited Roger Fout's chimp sanctuary last year and hope to volunteer there next year on an Earthwatch expedition. This sanctuary is a replica of a chimp's habitat. Minimal contact is made with the chimps and they communicate with sign language. I was also impressed with the chimp and gorilla sanctuaries at Busch Gardens in Fla, I asked the chimp keeper how to get a job there(it's amazing what stressed out nurses will do) and the competiton is incredibly firece to get a job with primates or any other zoo animals. I have met people who have had monkeys but never anyone who has had a chimp. I have read books written by people who had chimps as pets and it usually didn't work out. Like all other animals, chimps grow up. Elaine<.html

The only close experience I have had with chimps is with Paula
Crist's...He was -- "aggressive" -- to say the least, even though she
penned him in her home...=)

I have visited with the Valbuena chimps right here in Clearwater, Florida. One of the
greatest experiences of my life. The worst part is when your visit is up, you just hate to
leave them after the incredible bond you feel.
Here's the Valbuena web site:

I just came across a website www.newvoyages.com. Here a group of
dedicated trekies are producing new episodes of the original series.
Their work is rather impressive. They even got POTA alum William
Windom to appear in an episode. There's another site called TrekUnited
that has raised $3.6 Million to produce another season of Enterprise.

Wouldn't it be great if POTA fans could get together with Apemania and
produce a new sequel or episodes of the TV series.

Are there any fans out there who are independently wealthy or recently
won the lottery that would finance us? :-)

A guy a few houses down from me has a company that would do at least one episode
relatively cheap if the talent and location, sets, etc. were provided.

If the Trekkies can raise about 3.6 million dollars to finance another season, ape fans can do the same thing. It wouldn't hurt to try.

Has anyone noticed that the THX transfer of "Conquest" has the bottom
cropped off and it's opened up more @ the top? The original letterbox
laserdisc you could read the 1980 date on the "Rover" memorial statue,
on the dvd it's cropped out. The framing is much better on the original
laserdisc release.

Also, has a bootleg video of the original version of Conquest surfaced?
Anyone?

Come to the Message Boards to find out what the VERY LAST episode of
Enterprise has in store - and be prepared for a SHOCK!

3 million of that was donated by Sir Richard Branson.

True, when the full screen version is shown on cable, you can read
the 1983 on the plague.
I'm not sure but I think part of the framing problem is due to
Conquest being film in Todd A-O which has a slightly different frame
dimension than standard panavision.

I have a tape that was given to me that has a few extra violent scenes added to the end but Caesar's original speech has never surfaced (nor the scene with the death of Gov Breck) it's probably in the vaults at Fox.

Bruce,

I wanted to ask you about this tape... I have an "extended version" of CONQUEST with two brief scenes added (Flame Thrower Handler set on fire and an Officer thrown thru the glass window) and the soundtrack restored as well... Does this sound like the same one you have? If not, what else may be different on your's? I ask because I am thinking of having Hunter do the same with CONQUEST as he did with the RETURN series... Let me know when you get the chance, thanks...

With my primitive computer I can't reproduce them but I was told by someone other than the tape's creator that the violent scenes are spliced in from the Conquest movie trailer (though I'm not sure that's true ) and that's on the DVD.

And his ashes are to be shot from a cannon this fall, in accordance
with his long-time wish!

Funny aside (well, I thought it was funny): my parents were divorced
when I was young, and at one time during my teens, I considered
changing my last name to my mother's maiden name (it's a long story).
Had I done so, my name would have been Hunter Thompson.
