Kevin, this person you are asking about, Paula Christ, was

Wow Mel!

I remember that!

Especially thinking that they got the glyphs wrong.

Not to mention the giraffe necks and really bad hair.

But to be fair the ones at the Hollywood Wax Museum

weren't really any better.  Wax Apes make Apemania's

worst displays look good.  Even the early Zira's.

No doubt it was shot with doubles as a prop for the set.

The movies are now anamorphic widescreen, when they weren't in the
Evolution release.

Hunter

Also, the Legacy set includes the extended version of Battle. At least the Region 1 release does.

Hunter

All the movies are remastered AND in anamorphic in the Legacy set, AND don't forget, ESCAPE is in stereo and BATTLE is the extended version, right, James?

It doesn't look to me to be Hunter in the photo.  Could be Watson.  Certainly not McDowall.  Anyway, it was probably made just for the film and no other copies were kept.

The difference is that the Legacy set is in Anamorphic widescreen. For an explaination of Anamorphic go here: http://gregl.net/videophile/anamorphic.htm

Additionally the sound mix on Planet is corrected, Escape's soundtrack is now in Stereo, the framing on Conquest is corrected and Battle is the extended version (Region 1 only). Overall there is better picture and sound quality for all the films.

I always thought that the circular underground tunnels in Conquest were reminiscent of the circular underground tunnels in Beneath.

The question is if it was by design or just coincidence.

The movies will look sharper and cleaner in the Legacy set.  I don't how many times and in how many ways I can keep saying that the transfers in Legacy set are better than the old Evolution set, you just have to trust that it is.

However, if you're happy with the Evolution set and don't want to spend the money on the upgrade to the Legacy set (Do I hear that little bird?  "Cheap! Cheap! Cheap!"), then by all means just keep watching what you have been.

Burton's Ex Ordered To Revise Lawsuit
Moviemaker Tim Burton has won the first round of a court battle with his ex-girlfriend - a judge has ordered she revise her suit. Actress Lisa Marie Smith , who has appeared in a string of Burton's films as well as dating the director for nearly 10 years, claims he cheated her out of assets they promised to share together. She sued Burton in December alleging she was tricked into signing a contract with the filmmaker giving up the right to make further claims to his fortune. She also accused a lawyer of secretly acting on Burton's behalf. However, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Teresa Sanchez-Gordon said there wasn't enough evidence in Smith's complaint to support her claim Burton used fraud to cheat her out of assets. She has 10 days to revise her suit. Burton maintains Smith was given $5 million to sign the contract, which released him from any further claims to his assets. He added if she wanted to rescind the deal she must return the money.

They should have done what Fox did with the original, found a relatively unknown actor to play Klaatu.  But Keanu is relatively strange enough to play him.  I hope the hacks at Fox are reading the original short story the thing is based on, as it has some intriguing ideas not used in the 1951 film, other than that I'm sure this is another "unnecessary remake that will suck!"

When 20th Century Fox distributed Planet of the Apes in 1968, they marketed it to reach the widest audience possible. Up to that point and with a handful of notable exceptions?Things to Come (1936), The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), This Island Earth (1955), Forbidden Planet (1956)?science fiction movies were routinely dismissed by the studios and public alike as fodder for juveniles and adolescents. Between a prestige cast (Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, Maurice Evans, James Whitmore) and its topical themes of creationism vs. evolution, slavery and racism, Planet of the Apes tapped into a huge crossover demographic. Fox offered schools and religious organizations literature proclaiming the film?s relevance as a tool for discussion on scientific and theological issues. They hyped John Chambers?s inventive makeup work. And in the lofty tradition of Gone With the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, and Doctor Zhivago, they first released the picture with an intermission?even though it ran under two hours. (The break came after Taylor barks, ?Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!?)


This is the first time I've ever heard anyone else say PLANET had an intermission when it was originally released!  I first saw PLANET on April 7, 1968, in a theatre on Long Island, NY and I swear it had an intermission!  I guess this is confirmation after all these years that I didn't imagine it.

On the back of 'Man the Fugitive', the first tv series novelisation,
there's a quote from Variety about the show saying 'A sure winner....a
bockbuster!'.Anybody got that review or any idea how we'd track it
down? John, Scrolls.

This is the first time I've ever heard anyone else say PLANET had an intermission when it was originally released!  I first saw PLANET on April 7, 1968, in a theatre on Long Island, NY and I swear it had an intermission!  I guess this is confirmation after all these years that I didn't imagine it.

 

It must have been a NYC thing.

When I saw it, it had no intermission.

Then again it premiered there, so it

may have been dropped after that and

ran in it's entirety in the rest of the U.S.

Oddly enough I was doing a search on the Variety site
just the other day looking for Army Archerd
articles...or any POTA stuff......mostly Burton came
up.......the files only go back so far online....there
were links to original movie reviews in 68 but they
didn't work....I don't think they've put everything
online yet....I also wrote to Archerd asking if his
stuff was available anywhere (and possibly get a
Scrolls interview!) but he has not answered..

I'm not sure how you'd track it down -- the review for the show -- but that quote seems to me to be from Variety's review of the original film, which I think I've posted here and on the Internet Movie Database.

I remember Variety's review of the TV show -- and it wasn't kind.  Among other things, they commented that the makeup "so convincing in 1968, now looks absurd," or something to that affect.

I think you have to pay Variety something to look at their old reviews.  My library used to have a multi-volume set of Variety film reviews going all the way back to the silent era, but not only did it disappear a few years ago, I've also moved away!

I did a search of Variety's site and found extracts of the reviews for the 5 original films:

• Planet - http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117794029.html/strong>
• Beneath - http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117788988.html/strong>

I just received my ballot for the SAG board of director's election (for
some reason I opened it this year) and in the running are POTA's Ron
Harper and France Nuyen.... Obviously I cast my ballot this year.

Also, speaking of the union, a few years back when I met Linda Harrison
at a show in Pasadena, I told her that I knew why Nova spoke in
Beneath. She said "Why is that?" Then I said "So you could get your SAG
card. HA!" She didn't get the joke and replied "Oh, No. I've had my SAG
card since I did Batman!" Oh well, I thought it was funny.....

It's interesting (well, to a nerd like me!) because the blurb on the
novel definitely says that Variety said that about 'the fabulous
television seres on which this exciting book is based'. Maybe Award
used a little bit of 'artistic licence' on it? Maybe there was a guy
called 'Victor Variety' in publicity at Award Books and he gave them
the quote? I wonder if Variety's first viewing was of The Good Seeds,
the first produced, which certainly had some pretty bad make-ups. To
be fair, with a couple of exceptions, the tv series make-up was very
good in my view--certainly on a par with Conquest and Battle.John,
Scrolls.

I got them at ioffer.com and they cost about 80 dollars but they're completely uncut, great copies from ABC 16MM or 35MM prints. They have the ABC logo at the beginning, the "BATMAN IN COLOR" tag at the beginning and the "NEXT WEEK'S VILLAIN" tag after every 2-part adventure, excellent menus on 30 discs.

Well worth it.

Must be bootlegs, 'cause there's never been an offical release.  As far as I know there's still somekind of rights dispute between Fox and Warners, or DC Comics or somebody.  Anyway, if you have a DVD recorder YOU can probably bootleg those DVDs.

Have you checked out the episodes Jeff "Dodge" Burton are in?

'T would be much better to copy such discs with a computer than a
standalone DVD recorder. Aside from losing whatever menus the disc
might have, using a standalone recorder means you're going from DVD ->
Analog -> DVD, which will compromise the picture quality. It's
infinitely better to use a computer and a DVD burner to copy discs, as
you're simply copying the digital data---there's no conversion or
re-encoding going on in that case.

There's only one problem with that, Hunter -- digital compression.  If you're recording on a single-layer standard DVD-R or +R (I have no experience with duel-layer DVD burners) then you only have 4.7GB of recording space, and most professional DVDs are recorded on duel-layer discs with over 8 GB of information.  In order for the computer to fit all that info, including menus and such, on a 4.7 GB disc, it has to compress it, resulting in poorer picture and sound quality despite the absence of digital/analog/digital conversion.

I've been copying DVDs with standalone DVD recorders (onto 4.7 GB -R and +R blanks) in either the XP or SP mode for years now, and despite the digital/analog conversion, the picture quality loss is minimal, certainly acceptable to my eyes.  However, I've watched DVD copies done on computer (onto single-layer 4.7 discs), and the compression is readily apparent on the screen, at least for my eyes.  Also, I find most DVD menus to be annoying and would rather just be able to put the disc in and just play the damn thing!

Now, if you're talking about coping on a computer duel-layer DVDs to duel-layer blanks, then this is an entirely other matter, and that in fact is the way to go.

Yep. I was assuming these "Batman" DVDs are single-layer discs (borne
out by the low cost for 30 of them and the fact that there are 30 of
them). But everything else you said is true. However, the "digital
compression" artifacts vary greatly in how the compression is
accomplished and how much it has to be compressed. Sometimes it's
readily apparent, sometimes it's not, depending on the software and
procedure.

Hunter

From 9 years ago, today!

Yes they are bootlegs but they'll have to do until the disputes are solved. Maybe even longer. Which episodes does "Dodge" appear in? I'll watch them too over the weekend and offer my unsolicited critique Monday.

I also discovered recently that the Sunday before PLANET premiered on Feb. 8, 1968, Kim Hunter was a guest star on "Bananza."

I just watched the "Joker's Flying Saucer" episode of Batman in which Jeff Burton (Dodge) is featured as one of the Joker's green-garbed henchmen Shamrock ( a rarity to have an African-American in that role) and he has a decent-sized part and a few lines.

 

I did notice something interesting during the mandatory climactic fight scene that was quite unusual but makes sense when you remember what year this was...never once does anyone lay a hand  (or glove) on Shamrock (Burton) but late in the fight he is sitting in a chair dazed as if he's been punched. Guess it would have looked REALLY bad in 1968 for the Caped Crusader and his pals to beat the s**t out of an African-American whether he was in league with the Joker or not.

Hey T,

Yes, we beamed up at the beginning of the Klingon Ride. They turn the
lights off, you feel this swish of air, and when the lights come back up,
you are in the transporter room, so they must retract the walls where you
first enter. It was very cool!

I finally finished writing my report about the convention I just went to in
Las Vegas. I warn you that it's long! If you don't know anything about
Star Trek or don't like it, you'll probably want to just skip this. If you
are interested in reading it, you can download the document here:

Likewise, to view my pictures that I took at the convention, you can go to
the address below. It's a picture diary that goes along with the written
report. My picture with Leonard Nimoy is also in this album!

Hi, Leo,

Actually, there were five TV movies, and you can get them all on
bootleg DVD at http://www.kingego.com/shop/?shop=1&cat=30&. They're
charging $15 per movie, or $50 for all five. Mind you, these movies
are not new material -- they're just edited from the TV show episodes.

And the picture quality is lousy compared to simply getting the Fox DVD of the TV series!  Why anyone cares about these so-called "TV movies" is beyond me!  The titles alone are ridiculous.

.html.htmlI just found this site on movie theatres and it has a small picture of the old, long demolished, Capital Theatre in New York City, where PLANET OF THE APES premiered on February 8, 1968.  The picture unfortunately shows the marquee for what opened there right after PLANET did, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, but you can scroll down and read comments from people who actually saw PLANET there in 1968.  Kind of neat.

messages), but Premiere has an article about the 20 biggest plot twists. Go
to this link and click on photo gallery. POTA is the first movie to come up
on the list. :-)

Burton's POTA is included. My favorite line? "It's the cinematic equivalent of monkey feces."

Before I buy a movie I always ask myself, "Am I ever going to watch this?" With the new POTA the answer was "No."

My daughter recorded the 2001 APES on a VHS tape for me, and when she was giving me the tape she said,  "Daddy, you're not gonna like this new APES movie.  It makes no sense, there's no mention of any of the characters from the original movies, and the ending is one of the worst that I'd ever seen."  Well, she was 1000% correct on all counts.  And I'd heard that they were considering making a sequel to it, too!  How awful!   Zach      -------Original Message-------   From: stenosaurus@...

If it was the 2 disc edition it's well worth buying for just the
special features. They are far superior, more fun and more interesting
than the movie itself. My favourites are the early make up tests with
Baker's gorillas spouting Ursus's speech from Beneath.

Watching the features you sometimes get a glimpse of what the movie
might have been.
