It is a shame. I saw Planet there four times, the first time in 1968, with Battle in 1973 and both Go Ape marathons in '73 & '74.

What's worse all the neighborhood theaters that were around when I was a kid are all gone; the Marboro where I saw Beneath & Escape, the Kingsway where I saw Conquest and the Fortway where they did the live POTA musical. They've all closed.

I've heard from a reliable source that the announcement about POTA Megos by Diamond Toys may have been premature and that not everything is together yet.

I don't know what the exact problem is but the re-issue of the figures is in jeopardy.

 

A. All animals are unpredictable. (Man included)

 

B. Why isn't Chim Chim on the set of Speed Racer?

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 looked up the Walker Theatre at:
http://cinematreasu res.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?

"Author Robert J. Sawyer explains how Hollywood's approach to science fiction, starting with George Lucas's Star Wars, has dulled the edge that made science fiction such a pertinent film genre.

Thanks for sharing this with us Jessica.

What Sawyer says is very true. Science Fiction was a genre that was maturing thanks to films like POTA and 2001. Star Wars while profitable, set that back 30 years.

Terry, good luck with your re-launch of Chronicles. I had thought I

as I'm not on your list, I must be mistaken. I've often considered
setting up a UK Fan Club and I wonder could you let me know what
process you have to go through with Fox to be given official status
for a club and who I should contact at Fox to do that?

If anyone really wants a POTA themed stamp, the Stamps.com allows you to design your own postage stamp.

It's only $2.99 for a sheet of 20, not including the cost of postage.

I've been celebrating for two weeks!! Between a barrage of Apes-
related tokens (Thanks, James) and a pilgrimage to Apemania country,
I've been blessed. Not only did my daughter and I meet Brian and get
to gawk at his prizes – which really hit me after I left and got to
talking about it -- but I got to meet a few devoted Apes fans along
the way. (The T-shirts from Brian helped.) I didn't make it to Zuma
(the tornado on Malibu and bad weather made it less ape-pealing this
trip), but I came home quite enthusiastic!

Happy Anniversary! (((group hug)))
