An expert in a newspaper article on this described chimps as 'our fellow apes' which is an angle I'd never really thought about before.All we are is (fairly) hairless apes, despite what Breck said.John, Scrolls.

A few months ago I attended an SF convention in Montreal where I
picked up an Icarus lapel pin for $10. The dealer specialized in
Science Fiction related pins. I asked the guy if he had a website
where I could direct other interested POTA fans. He did but the Icarus
was not one of the pins listed on the site.
It's taken me a number of months to track down the guy to see if he
was still selling the pins. He no longer maintains the site, but
provided me with the information on how to order the pins and gave me
request forms and images of the pin to pass on.

I've put these online here:http://web.ncf.ca/ev001/icarus/Icarus.html"

Most of the required information is in the ads already, but if you
have any questions please direct them to him
(twowackypinguys@...), and not me. Just to be clear, I'm only
relaying the information, and I am not involved in any way with the
seller other than passing on the what I think may interest some people
here. The price and handling charges are not set by me.

Keep in mind the fact that it's all in Canadian dollars, so for US
buyers, it's cheaper (with the current currency valuations). I figure
paying with the cheaper Paypal option will ring in at just over $10 US.

Dario

Thanks Dario. That's great.

Would love to see them do a pin of the ANSA logo.

Thanks Dario!

That's pretty nifty!

Would you mind if I forward this information on to Chris Shields at the Icarus website?

Here's another costuming opportunity in Santa Clara, California, Memorial Day Weekend. We will be there Saturday, May 23. Go to Baycon.org for details. It's only one hour's drive from my house.


Anybody want to go ape with me? It's closer than the San Francisco Wondercon in February 2010!!

My sister says she will take me. My husband says I am not allowed to spend the night, but my sister promises to drive me down there so I won't risk the chance of getting pulled over by a cop when in full costume. We'll have a girl's day out that day...and go out to a wonderful restaurant for dinner before heading home and make a big scene somewhere crowded.

Jess.

Hey Terry,

I remember working on the strip with you, Dan and Glen. It was a shame that Dan's health forced him to pull out. Thankfully he recovered. It is also a shame that Neil is unable to complete the strip, he's the best POTA artist I've ever seen. And if I remember correctly, you came up with a really great story for the strip. I hope that you can find a good artist to complete it.

Subject: [pota] Ape City Chronicles/Escape Pre-Title Reconstruction

Happy Friday everyone! This week there are two very exciting new features to tell you all about.

First is the premiere of our new weekly feature APE CITY CHRONICLES, the first 75 years of Ape City's history as written by Virgil.

This totally original work tells the events from the end of Conquest, through Battle and beyond. Thanks again to Glen Scheetz, Dave Ballard and Chris Lawless for their contributions and advice (and proofing skills).

We hope everyone enjoys APE CITY CHRONICLES as much as our past weekly features.

To access click on the banner on the Yahoo Home page or use this link: http://movies. groups.yahoo. com/group/ pota/files/ ACC.htm

The second new feature is an addition to the Group Website's Videos section that has been literally 38 years in the making.

The shooting script for Escape begins with Taylor's ship being re-launched, the Ape-o-nauts witnessing Earth's destruction from orbit and then splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. Although the scenes inside the ship were filmed with Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter and Sal Mineo wearing spacesuits and helmets, they were scrapped and the film begins after the ship had already splashed down.

Using rare stills, stock footage and the talents of the wonderful people at BrokenSea, the opening sequence has been reconstructed as it might have appeared in the film and is now available in the Videos section for viewing.

Thanks to Mark Kalita, Jack Ward, Natasha Lathrop, Dave Sobkowiak & Glen Scheetz of BrokenSea for lending their vocal talents. Also thank you to Bill Hollweg,Tim Parati, Dave Ballard, Greg Plonowski, Hunter Goatley and Glen for their contributions and guidance.

To view the video go to the Videos section of the Group Website or use this link: http://movies. groups.yahoo. com/group/ pota/files/ Misc./Stuff/ EPTR.htm. For those who have problems accessing here, it is also available on the mirror site: http://www.potamedi aarchive. com/EPTR. htm .

There's an interesting open letter from the screenwriter of Watchmen over on 'Ain't it cool'

<http://www.aintitcool.com/node/40409>

In it, he asks that anyone thinking of seeing Watchmen to make sure they do - and anyone who's already seen it to go see it again!

If, like me, you are somewhat cynical about his about his interests, consider this comment... It certainly struck a chord with me.

"Demonstrate the power of the fans, because it'll help let the people who pay for these movies know what we'd like to see. Because if it drops off the radar after the first weekend, they will never allow a film like this to be made again."

I'm not going to try and sell you Watchmen but it was a risky movie to make and is far, far better than I ever would have dreamed. Looking ahead I'd rather have a risky APES movie than a 'safe' one.

Dave

Wow. Awesome. Thank you to all those involved, and for making this accessible. Indeed, what a happy Friday for me!!

Looking forward to the weekly feature as well.

This week there are two very exciting new features to tell you all about. First is the premiere of our new weekly feature APE CITY CHRONICLES, the first 75 years of Ape City's history as written by Virgil. This totally original work tells the events from the end of Conquest, through Battle and beyond. Thanks again to Glen Scheetz, Dave Ballard and Chris Lawless for their contributions and advice (and proofing skills). We hope everyone enjoys APE CITY CHRONICLES as much as our past weekly features. To access click on the banner on the Yahoo Home page or use this link: http://movies. groups.yahoo. com/group/ pota/files/ ACC.htm The second new feature is an addition to the Group Website's Videos section that has been literally 38 years in the making. The shooting script for Escape begins with Taylor's ship being re-launched, the Ape-o-nauts witnessing Earth's destruction from orbit and then splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. Although the scenes inside the ship were filmed with Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter and Sal Mineo wearing spacesuits and helmets, they were scrapped and the film begins after the ship had already splashed down. Using rare stills, stock footage and the talents of the wonderful people at BrokenSea, the opening sequence has been reconstructed as it might have appeared in the film and is now available in the Videos section for viewing.

Has anyone else stumbled onto the Easter Egg.

Once when accessing the special features in the menu, I somehow brought up a "banana" graphic that when clicked, gave you the full version of the first Mego POTA action figure promo film.

I stumbled on it and have been unable to find out how to get to that Easter Egg again. Does anyone have instructions.



_____

"On Monday, March 16 (5 PM Pacific) Home Theater Forum will have a live
internet chat with Schawn Belston, a Fox restorationist. The reason is
because of the new Blu-Ray of "The Robe", but I'm sure he can give
details on how Fox does their movies in general. I'm not sure if he
worked on POTA specifically. But it might be informative to throw out a
question or just read the transcript the next day. HTF's chats are
usually worth it and they don't come along often anymore."

http://www.hometheaterforum.com/chatannounce/The_Robe_LIVE_Chat.html"

Schawn Belston absolutely worked on PLANET. I remember reading here in
the group of when he was working on it and showing a
"print-in-progress" at the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY a few
years ago. I think he said then that a couple reels of original camera
negative were missing from near the end of the film.

Anyway, I won't be able to monitor this thing, but I hope someone asks
him why PLANET doesn't have the stereo mix on the Blu-ray it did on the
35th Anniversary DVD, and why the final shot on the Blu-ray is so
bright, because it really is too bright. It doesn't flicker like it
did on the DVD transfer for the 35th Ann. edition, but it's still got a
problem. Why does it look better in BENEATH than on PLANET?

By the way, I will be buying THE ROBE. The transfer on the old DVD is
terrible.

Yes, Zira was misspelled! It's a wonder I found it on YouTube!!

I was calling my friend (Sharry) who I got separated from. She was the only one who would come with me because my sister flaked out and refused to come a week before the event. Sharry was telling me to try to find Exit 18, because that's where she was, and that was also where Don Pedro Colley was...and I think I was around Exit 10 when she phoned...but it was REALLY hard to hear because it was so crowded and noisy.

Found another item to freak me out at night...not as freaky as the baby Ari one, but just as fugly. How could someone make something so hideous and charge $350??

Not at all.  Well handled.

Kim would be proud. And

Brava on the makeup.  I

see what you mean about

working on the wig though.

The hair is a tad bit unruly.

"Hopefully someone will ask why they didn't restore Demetrius & the
Gladiators as well, I think it's far superior to the Robe."

Fox really should have included both in this Blu-ray package. Again,
here is Fox really not thinking right. How many people are going to
want to buy a Blu-ray release of DEMETRIUS & THE GALDIATORS? How many
people even remember this movie? THE ROBE as historical significance
as the first movie released in Cinemascope; DEMETRIUS is now just an
old camp Victor Mature movie. Fox should have included a restored
print of the sequel as a bonus, and then could have asked a few more
bucks for it -- and probably would sell a few more copies -- but I
guess they know what they're doing.... right?

Anyway, here's a trivia question for the group: How are THE ROBE and
it's sequel, DEMETRIUS & THE GALDIATORS, like PLANET and its immediate
sequel, BENEATH?

You should have a list of at least three answers.
