One more thing I forgot to mention: the Rarities 2 disc is in NTSC
format, but it has no Region code, which means it'll play anywhere
than can play NTSC discs.

Probably because the orangutan pullover masks were so bad, they only
wanted to use them sparsely in the background.

I have to agree with you. The background masks in all the movies
were sadly very bizarre looking. Too bad they were so noticeable.
Took away from the illusion.

Nah, you just have to think of them as really ugly apes. ;-) Just
like people movies, the pretty apes got the closeups.

In that case, Hunter, I would DEFINITELY be a background gorilla. LOL

Maybe that would explain how he turns from a total wimp in the beginning of the film into a revolutionary by the end.

The background masks are my biggest bugaboo with the first two movies.

I think they were designed by Wah Chang, who created a lot of stuff
like that for other movies, but is best known for his work on the
original "Star Trek" including the "Gorn."

And I forgot to add that John Chambers HATED them, but I guess they
just didn't have the money OR time to makeup everybody as they should.

But they sure should have sculpted many different looks to the various
masks. Oh well, ancient history.

Hey, here's a project for James: screen capture one of the worst
background mask shots from the series, then do a photoshop "fix" using
either a correctly made-up ape from the movies, or a real-world simian
pic.

Knowing James, he'll just use George Bush!

I think the cage Orangs were don by the primitive ape guy from Escape.

You know?  The guy that did the Gilligan's Island apes who insisted on

using his own costumes.  That's why they looked completely different.

Well, that and, you know what they say . . . Clothes make the ape.

Bill,

Just how much fun did you have, bellowing `You maniacs! You blew it up!?

And did the neighbors knock on the walls to complain?

And so it ends and I don't want to let it go without making some comment.

So was it any good? Debatable – I'm sure you either loved it or hated
it. Was it perfect? Of course not, was it fun? Hell yeah!

I've heard each and every episode in what became something of a
routine, I'd download onto my iPod and listen in on the journey to and
from work. As I said before it's hard to judge `stylistic' choices –
they are just that, a matter of personal taste. Some things I would
have done different - but that doesn't necessarily mean for the better.

The voice cast were variable – it's a given that some would be more
talented and that some would be more suited to their roles than others
but it would be really petty and mean for me to single anybody out.
The one thing I truly believe is that everybody gave it their best and
I can't ask anyone for more than that.

There were moments throughout the production when I laughed along with
the drama and, I confess there were moments where I laughed at it. The
(IMHO) somewhat comic sound effects used when Taylor was getting
beaten by the guards gave me a fit of the giggles but hey! – I often
laugh at inappropriate moments.

Most was easy to follow, some was confusing (Taylor's last broadcast
message? Couldn't make that out!).

I have to say that I think Bill is 100%, certifiably, insane for even
considering a project of this scope. Having helped produce an audio
drama myself – and in only a very small capacity - my mind just
freezes at the sheer number of obstacles he would have faced along the
way. The variable quality of recordings, the lack of commercially
available sound FX, the need to express what characters were seeing
through audio alone, the inability to ask for alternate takes, the
frustration of knowing a single, missed, fraction of a beat has
spoiled a scene… The list goes on, and on, and on… That the results
were even coherent is nothing short of a miracle and a true testament
to the man's determination.

Sure, if this were from a professional studio I'd be a lot less
forgiving, but Bill's an amateur – I don't mean that in a mean
spirited way, but in the purest sense of the word – doing what he does
for love or passion. Doing this from a bedroom, or garage, or
wherever. No funding, and using (compared to a Pro studio) budget
equipment…

If you just stop for a moment and think about any of that, then IMHO
what he achieved really is remarkable.

I also wanted to thank the Simian Scrolls... Man... When we were asked for an interview about the audio, and then I received my Scrolls...I alomst passed out...This was too COOL... And then reading the issue.... I am still stunned... And honored that I had the chance. Thanks Scrolls!

A bundle of copies of Simian Scrolls, issue 14, were posted via air
mail to the U.S almost a month ago. It looks like they may have taken
a route via the Bermuda triangle because there's been no sign of them
since.

If you can hang in there we'll sit back and give it a couple more
weeks and see if they turn up - if not, I'll hop on a plane and take
some over personally.

Thank you for your understanding.

Janos was also the Mugato (white gorilla with the horn on his head)

"Janos was also the Mugato (white gorilla with the horn on his head)

Jeff (RedSpy)"

His "Heloise" chimp suit is great (and I just remembered it also
appears in a classic "Outer Limits" episode that features a great John
Chambers makeup creation, the first season episode "The Sixth Finger"),
BUT that gorilla suit in ESCAPE really sucks. Too bad the studio
didn't know at the time who Rick Baker was and that he was already
making better gorilla suits. Check out THE AMAZING TWO-HEADED
TRANSPLANT (1971) sometime to see an early amazing Baker suit.

I'll burn copies of Rarities 1 as well.

If you want both 1 and 2, just add an extra dollar to the amount. So
that would make it $3.50 for U.S. addresses and $4.50 for non-U.S.
addresses for both Rarities 1 and 2.

If you only want Rarities 1, it's $2.50 for U.S. addresses and $3.50
for non-U.S. addresses.

All copies of Rarities 2 requested as of yesterday have been mailed.

Thanks,
Greg

The POTA Rarities #2 DVD is absolutely awesome. Not
only the content, but the excellent menus as well.
Thanks so much. I am really enjoying the disc.

Fun to see Roddy and Kim in the 30th anniversary
material, but sad to realize Roddy was gone just a few
months later. Wish they were still with us.

Anyway, thanks again. KEVIN

I received my copy today. Great job! The CBS and Late movie bumpers are
priceless. And I always wondered what the lobby looked like at the 30th
Anniversary screening. Plus you have footage Starcon panel that I
missed! Many thanks to all that were involved for sharing! A couple of
observations-


Charlton Heston quotes over and over that POTA was the first of the
space operas, before Star Wars and Star Trek. Star Trek was before
apes, correct?

I'm thankful someone at AMC had the good sense to put that vest on Kim
Hunter in subsequent bumpers...

Leonard Marltin calling Edward G. Robinson in the test footage Dr.
Zoose (rhymes with Dr. Seuss, or Mother Goose)is an unbelievable faux
pas for a man that makes a living critiquing films.

> Charlton Heston quotes over and over that POTA was the first of the

Yes, though I think the PotA concept may have been in the works before
Trek's concept was. Maybe.

Yeah, I noticed that, too!

Hunter

When Heston was referring to Apes as the first space opera, he was
probably referring to films over tv, as he was a film star. Just my
opinion.

I imagine Heston was referring to the Trek movie franchise and not the
original TV show.

Dave

"I imagine Heston was referring to the Trek movie franchise and not the
original TV show.

Dave"

I wouldn't give Heston credit for having that much of an imagination.

Listen, I liked Heston and I love many of his movies, but in many ways
Chuck wasn't the brightest of guys. I think he closed off from his
mind many things he didn't care for, and I'll bet one of those was the
world of Science Fiction film. Sure, he made a few, but that was for
the paycheck, including PLANET, but especially OMEGA MAN and SOYLENT
GREEN, but other than that I'm sure SF was a genre he definitely wasn't
into. So, being someone who doesn't function well in public without a
script, a script was written for Heston, by him, or his wife, or his PR
man, whoever, that could be called the "What you say when asked about
APES" script. Chuck started using that "first Space Opera" line way
back in the very early eighties after STAR WARS had eclipsed APES.
He's repeated it often. I remember in the seventies when Chuck still
made frequent appearances on talk shows to promote whatever crappy
disaster movie he'd just finished, and he had a whole repertoire of tag
lines about the various movies he was most associated with. If Johnny
Carson mentioned KHARTOUM, I knew it wouldn't be long before Chuck
would talk about how nasty the camels were and how they "were a horse
designed by a committee." And I forget now what his standard lines
were to BEN-HUR or THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. Chuck was the kind of guy,
like one of our ex-presidents, that I could imagine had a drawer in his
desk full of "things to say when you're asked," and I could imagine his
wife prepping him on them before his appearances and making sure his
fly was closed and such things. That was the wonderful world of Chuck.
I'm sure T would agree. And now Chuck's world has shrunk to much less
than that.

Yeah, and then he puts it in his book too! The dottering old man! Oh
well. I think privately he had his own opinions about things, but
publicly it was all scripted.

John,
Scrolls."


First of all, APES is not a "space opera." Hardly any of it takes
place in space! What the hell is a "space opera" anyway? Flash
Gordon? Star Wars? I'd call those things "Pulp Science Fiction," not
something stupid like "space opera." Heston didn't know or care squat
about Sci-Fi.

There were plenty of other QUALITY Science Fiction films before PLANET.
PLANET's distinction is only this... It was the first Science Fiction
film that starred a first-rung Hollywood star, i.e. Chuck. That and
the fact that it was one of the best Science Fiction films Hollywood
had produced in years AND that it was a huge hit, some might say even a
small cultural phenomenon, are it's main distinctions.

I don't know if this story is true, but it made me laugh....


Christina Ricci was sexually assaulted by a chimpanzee on the set of
her latest movie, 'Penelope.'

The actress, who already has a phobia of the animal, revealed Chim Chim
grabbed her left breast while she was filming 'Penelope'.

Christina - who plays a woman born with a pig's nose in the movie -
said: "I'm afraid of monkeys, but I had decided not to be afraid of
Chim Chim because no one else is. I thought, 'Everyone else thinks he's
awesome so just be cool.'

"It's the first day of shooting and I have this kitchen scene where I'm
sitting down and Chim Chim is sitting right next to me. Of course, it
freaks out during the take and grabs my left breast and will not let
go, and he's so strong."

Christina was so terrified she had to be rescued by her fellow
co-stars, including Reese Witherspoon, James McAvoy and Richard E.

She revealed: "I'm so freaked out and the rest of the actors are facing
the other way so no one sees that this has happened to me and I'm like,
'Help, help' as quietly and calmly as possible so this thing does not
freak out any further.

"Finally they got him off me but my fear is completely validated and I
did not go near him for the rest of the shoot. Monkeys are crazy and
you never what they'll grab onto - I don't like unpredictable animals."

Hey!  I would follow the man through the Red Sea!

But if he's got a gun I want one too.  Not sure he knows

be able to return fire.  Getting wounded pisses me off!

Wish I had that in my collection.

I have the Ari prototype.  It has

Other than Rory who else here was old enough to have seen 'Planet' on
its original theatrical release?

The original movie was rated 'A' in the UK, so legally, at aged 7, I
wouldn't have been old enough unless accompanied by an adult, I guess
my parents must have felt I was too young.

I saw it at the Walker theater in Brooklyn with my mom, brother and sister in the summer of 1968. It was on a double bill with 'One Million B.C.'.

"I saw it at the Walker theater in Brooklyn with my mom, brother and
sister in the summer of 1968. It was on a double bill with 'One Million
B.C.'."

I looked up the Walker Theatre at:
http://cinematreasures.org/theater/1597/

Seems like it was a nice theatre. Too bad it's no more.

I remember being on a playground sometime in late '68, I guess it was,
and this other kid was telling me how he saw PLANET with this movie
"with cavemen being chased by dinosaurs." Now my parents had told me
long ago that men didn't live at the same time as dinosaurs, so I told
this kid that was nuts. I thought he was making it up. I just couldn't
believe he saw something that ridiculous. Anyway, a few years later I
figured out what he was talking about and I finally saw ONE MILLION
YEARS B.C. on the late movie. I thought it was pretty strange. I
guess when it was originally released on Feb. 21, 1967, I just never
saw a commercial for it and it wasn't anything my parents were
interested in. Now it's one of my guilty pleasure movies. It's really
a stinky movie, but I like it. Raquel Welch, Martine Beswick, Ray
Harryhausen creatures and a bizarre score by Mario Nascimbene. Hell,
it's even got Percy Herbert in it! What's not too like?

"Dinosaurs lived and died out long before the first man appeared on
Earth."

This was the bold statement I made in front of my class when I was
about seven - and became a laughing stock! Even the teacher told me I
was an idiot... "What about cavemen?" she reminded me.

I still feel pangs of resentment at how unfair it all was. Do teachers
learn from books or the movies?

Sadly, there are apparently people who believe that men and dinosaurs
lived at the same time---after all, they also believe the world is
only 6,000 years old.

Did you go to a religious school or something? That teacher should
have been shot! That story is amazing and scary, truly scary. I can't
believe how the basic sciences aren't being taught properly in schools
these day -- and I guess for the last couple decades at least. We
really are threatened by a future with a population of people who are
complete idiots, just buying stupid things and getting fat and dying.

will be a elite class of people who know how everything works, and
they'll rule over a vast majority of asses who know nothing except "I
want! I want!"

Don't tell any more people.You have almost ruined my plans for world
domination.
A recent survey about historical people in the UK found that one
third of all people surveyed believed that Sherlock Holmes, Robin
Hood and King Arthur were all real people. Not the figures that some
think are the source for the myths but the actual Myths.The same
number thought Florence Nightengale (This isn't a spelling survey!)
and Winston Churchill were fictional characters.
If this was done in The US I imagine many would think The
Terminator, Paul Bunyan and George Bush were real. We know better...

"If this was done in The US I imagine many would think The

You mean most people in the US think about such things at all?

I kind of doubt it.

From the time I could first talk dinosaurs fascinated  me. When my parents would take me to the American Museum of Natural  History here in New York I would explain all the exhibits to them in detail. After about ten minutes of this we would turn around and see a crowd following us, listening to everything I said!

I was 8 years old when PLANET premiered, and I remember seeing it at
the drive-in theater, which was the big movie experience of my day.
I fell in love with it from the first viewing. And by the way,
Hunter, anyone who believes the world is older than 6,000 years old
is doomed to fall off the edge one day. LOL

I saw Beneath (in its opening weekend) when I was five years old.  First time in a theater, and I remember the experience well.  First time I saw Planet was on TV  a while later, but I did get a chance to see it on the big screen at a revival house when I was about twelve....
