Sorry, I didn't even take a camera.  My mom brought me and we almost didn't make it.  There was a huge snow storm that day and getting there from where I live with public transportation was a nightmare.  After wards though we went to a place that sold movie memorabilia and I purchased my first lobby card set - it was for BENEATH.

One thing of interest at the fair was the longer versions of new POTA MEGO product commericals shown.  It was in a small room with chairs and screen shown via a projector.

Good morning! Tomorrow is the group's 10 Anniversary. To mark the occasion we have a special LESSON FROM THE LAWGIVER. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

To view the LESSON use this link: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/pota/files/LFTL.htm.

But that's not all. Due to the popularity of the Film Programs, one for the Go Ape! festival has been created. It can be downloaded from Files Section, Programs folder: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/pota/files/Programs/

And if that's not enough, a PDF of the first issue of Marvel's Planet of the Apes Magazine is now available from the Downloads page of the group website: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/pota/files/Misc./Stuff/Downloads.htm. This premiere issue includes both the first chapter of Marvel's Terror series and the first chapter of the comic adaption of Planet. There is also an interview with the late Rod Serling, an overview of the film series and an article on the creation of the Ape make-up.

Have a day weekend everybody and come back tomorrow to celebrate our 10th Birthday!

Thanks. The goal was to fill in as many holes as possible while respecting the integrity of the original material.

Well there is a licensing issue now. MR Comics has allowed the POTA license with FOX to lapse. The planned EMPIRE comic was dependent on the sale of the trade paperback which was never published. The reason it was never published varies depending on who you hear the story from. Either way it is a shame that neither the trade paperback of REVOLUTION nor the EMPIRE comic will now never see the light of day.

The last time I spoke to someone at FOX they said both versions of BATTLE, the theatrical and longer edition, would be available on the Blu disc via branching.

I personally won't believe it till I see it sine it was not mentioned on the press release. It's didn't take much room for me to mention to you - so then why was it so hard for FOX to include that info on the press release. The same holds true for CONQUEST. All we've heard about is the "Un-cut" more " violent" edition, what about the original. There's enough room on a Blu disc to provide both; and certainly enough room on the press release to say so.

Just another sloppy mess-up.

Scott B.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed there's more to the Blu-ray release than what's mentioned in the press release. That release seemed a little early to me anyway.

Welcome back Alex. Can't wait to see the new site.

For the newbies around here, Alex ran one of the best POTA multi-media sites in the late-90s. So his new site should be a real treat for fans.

I guess Alex can also restart his countdown to the POTA sequel, if this "Planet of the Apes: Genesis" thing gets greenlit.

How is this going to fit in with the TV show that's also ongoing?

By the way, I think the TERMINATOR films aren't a "Timeloop."

Thanks Zach! Rumor has it Dr. Branton married a Hollywood producer and retired;-)

Glad you liked Cornelius' Journal. It was a great experience doing and I'm sad that it is now over. Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin once commented how when she wrote a historical biography she would really get to know her subject, like Lincoln or FDR, and often missed spending time with them when the project was over. I think I understand that now. During the past year I got to spend one afternoon a week with Dr. Cornelius. I'm going to miss him.

Was there last night too Rich. Too bad we didn't get a chance to meet.

Anyway here's my report. The theater was a bit small only holding a few hundred people. The sceen was a good size though. The place was almost full for Planet and the audience was into the film. About half didn't stay for Beneath. Although those who did stay seemed to enjoy the film.

The print for Planet was good but uneven. Some reels were exellent and others were a little grainy & dark. There were also some visble scratches and splices. But still a better than the print at the Ziegfeld earlier this year.

Beneath's print was excellent. Very sharp with vivid color. It only got grainy where it was supposed to be grainy such as the forced close up of Mendez's eyes. Also, all the sound elements were in tact.

The highlight of the evening was meeting Charlton Heston's daughter Holly who was there with her son. She said how delighted her dad would be that his films were being honored.

I've scanned and upload some pages from the program book. They can be found here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pota/files/Programs/Heston1.jpg and here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pota/files/Programs/Heston2.jpg

That is so cool! I've never seen anything like that. Thank you for posting. --- On Fri, 8/29/08, scott bosco <digitalcinema@ yahoo.com> wrote: From: scott bosco <digitalcinema@ yahoo.com> Subject: [pota] Re: Beneath the Planet of the Apes Playset by Mego...sort of... To: pota@yahoogroups. com Date: Friday, August 29, 2008, 6:03 PM Ok, This demands explaining - After Mego had sent someone to my house to see my Ape City and other things for their figures they came out with some stuff very close to some of the things I had made.  I was invited to the toy fair and treated like a king.  They asked me for a pair of pants and one of my shirts and they had made to my size a Corneilus costume with mask - the same that was used for their in store, in person appearances.  They also sent me the new POTA items that were forth coming.  For the hell of it they included a bunch of lose stuff like on Star Trek wakie talkie communicator, a few Star Trek figures and a Star Trek Bridge Playset.  Not liking Star Trek I proceeded to trans form that bridge playset into a BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES PLAYSET.  I made the mutant costumes, painted panels for the outside and in. Made an Alpha & Omega bomb (non-radioactive of course), and dressed up the rest with pieces from various models. The bomb control panel from the Addar Dr. Zaius model An organ from Pirates of the Caribbean model series And finally a stalagmite/stalacti te and a portion of cave both from "Prehistoric Scenes" models. The transporter became the tunnel Brent uses to go "beneath" into the mutant world. This has been packed away for over 30yrs and I'm surprised to say it's held up pretty good - although some of the scotch tape is coming off. Anyway, I hope it brings a smile to your faces if nothing else being a fun piece of my past and a proto-type for something that never was. Hell, when you're a kid ANYTHING is possible. - Scott
