No worries, on my part, David.

The internet was built on people misunderstanding people and seeing sarcasm where it doesn't exist. I appreciate the apology, as I'm sure everyone does. Always glad to welcome another fan to the world of Damn Dirty Apes.

I echo David regarding the kissing scene. That really wasn't that necessary. It should not have been mouth to mouth. Who knows where Taylor's mouth had been?

Yuck.

Even though the original is my favorite film, it's far from perfect.
Besides the spaceship's hatch already being blown off in the first shot
you see of the exterior, I wish you didn't also see the windows of the
ship being blown off too when the hatch finally is exploded. There's
also a corrugated aluminum cover of the prop ship that's blown up and
then later, as the astronauts exit the ship, it's lying off it's cover
and you can see into the interior of the prop. I guess this was done
because it was so hot on location and the temperature inside was
unbearable, but it would have been nice if Schaffner had been more
careful with his camera and not shown it.

Besides that, a major bug with me now is that I think they should have
made the Ape Town (Which is what it was originally called during
filming. "Ape City" is from a line of dialogue in BENEATH.) set a
little larger, used more forced perspective with smaller structures in
the distance with midgets dressed as apes on them, and not used the
obviously flat panel ape houses up on the hillsides, but instead
three-dimensional models. Of course, I never noticed any of this as a
kid, so in the movie's time it all worked beautifully, but now in the
age of the freeze-frame, these things fall apart -- but that's not the
movie's fault.

Any other faults? Plenty, but I'm not going to say.

The first film is so perfect that I wouldn't change anything except
maybe the shot of the ship showing the hatch blown before they blew the
hatch. But onther than that nothing.

Yeah, this is what Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide calls one of
PLANET's "liabilities" -- it's "self-conscious humor." However, it's
also one of the things that made the film such fun back in its day and
helped it be as popular as it was, but I agree that the film probably
should be more "adult" and had dropped this kind of stuff, including
the three wise monkey visual pun.

Some of the jokey dialogue seems kind of creaky to me now:



"He never met an ape he didn't like."



"You know what they say, human see, human do."



GROAN. Okay, we get it, we get it!



Of course that crap is balanced out by some of the best dialogue ever

written for ANY movie:



"Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!"



"Beware the beast man, for he is the devil's pawn."



"What are you afraid of, Doctor Zaius?"



Etc., etc., etc.



So, I guess those bad jokes are a very small price to pay for the gems

that we did get.



Scott

What I would say is THE rarest of the rare POTA items is that which is
mentioned in the PLANET pressbook: the "Radio Open-End Interviews" that
were put on record discs to be distributed to radio stations. I've
never heard of one of these ever popping up anywhere, though I do
believe that somewhere in the universe a copy still exists.

Years ago on eBay someone sold one of the PLANET 1-sheet Light Box
Displays. The story was that it had been stored in a neighborhood
theater's basement for thirty-something years. I think the theater was
in Washington state or somewhere. I can't remember what it sold for,
but I wasn't going to pay that much and I contacted the winning bidder
about it and he sent me photos of it after he got it, but I've since
lost them.

I've never seen anyone with a standee, and over thirty years ago a
movie poster dealer on Long Island told me about a floor display he had
back in '68 or '69 from PLANET that he said had a motor in it attached
to a cutout of those two gorillas holding Taylor down that was in the
corner of the display and rocked back and forth, BUT I've never heard
of any such thing since.

Not even a close call...it's scooter B.

However, that was waaay off topic, and this thread will probably get yanked. We tend to be very POTA focused here.

I was checking the old posts for that pic with Kim.

I didn't see any.  Does it even save pics?  If so how long?

I echo David regarding the kissing scene.  That really wasn't that necessary.  It should not have been mouth to mouth.  Who knows where Taylor's mouth had been?

Yuck.

Jessica.

    Jess,

 

I don't think Zira really minded it as much as she made out.

Hmmmmm . . . I wonder what she really thought about kissing Taylor.

Maybe someplace cold, since it's like waling around in a ski mask.

Hmmmmm.... Skiing Apes?

Yahoo stopped archiving attachments several years ago. They only recently retored that capability to the groups, so any attactments that were sent prior to this week are not saved.

I have about 12 apes (mostly chimps) and one gorilla. I don't really collect, I customize them. The fun is in the crafting. Once it's done and photographed, they kind of get tossed together in various boxes/bins.
