Subject: [pota] Re: planet soundtrack record

I didn't know about the PLANET soundtrack LP until I actually saw a
commercial for a record store on TV (I lived on Long Island, so it must
have been a store in NYC) and they actually showed the LP cover and
asked "have you heard the music from "Planet of the Apes?" I think I
bought the album in a Model's in Levittown (sometime around August '68)
and I was disappointed with it when I first played it because I was
expecting bits of dialogue. I was only nine years old and up until
then had only gotten those Disney movie records (like "The Jungle
Book").

first saw planet around june 1968 at the loews sharpstown drive in . i
liked it some much i had to find out of they had a soundtrack album th
this great music from the film . back in the day accross the street
from the loews drive in there was a place called globe shopping center 
and they sold records so i go in to the record deptment and saw the
planet soundtrack project 3 label it sold for four dollars and 44
cents- what a deal
but back then that was high dollar for a kid that
got an allowance of a quarter a week . so at the time my mom advanced
my the money to get the soundtrack album or back then it was called lp

Yes but doesn't bring back fond memories now.

I remember at my local theater the smell of popcorn would hit you the moment you walked into the lobby. And I spend a lot of time in that lobby in the summers of '73 and '74 staring at the POTA One Sheets on display there. You just don't get that strong smell of popcorn at today's multiplexes.

Fellow simians,

 

Now that Hot Toys is on the verge of sending out their gorillas in force, we must ask them to bring on their other apes.  Only Hot Toys can make the figures that we (especially me) long to have, and I am asking you to write to their customer service to let them know that you are waiting for more of their wonderful apes!!  I will just be the happiest of all chimpanzees if Hot Toys will announce the coming of more apes.  If they can create a Dr. Zaius with his full Forbidden Zone outfit bearing all the delicious hieroglyphs, well, that will just be so fantastic.  They may as well, since their spectacular General Ursus needs him to ride into the Forbidden Zone.  But in any case, if Hot Toys can make such spectacular gorillas, what is to stop them from bringing on their chimpanzees and orangutans? 

 

Here is their e-mail address:

 

"Hot Toys Ltd - Customer Service" <info@hottoys. com.hk>, 

 

Thank you for your support, everyone. 

 

Jessica.

Well I'm really uncouth myself as you know. ;-)

But I will ask that everyone remember that this group is to celebrate POTA and our love for it. All the drama is of interest to only a tiny handful and it just turns off everyone else, so please take it offline.

And speaking of love of POTA, today July 13th is the anniversary of Battle opening in NYC and the first time I saw it.

A few weeks earlier, I had seen the Battle poster in the lobby of the Walker Theater under a 'Coming Soon' sign and it looked so damn cool. I was there to see 'The Poseidon Adventure' (the first time I had seen Roddy without the makeup) and asked when Battle would be opening. They told me Friday, July 13th.

I spent the next few weeks counting the days until the film opened. A wait made easier by a trip to Disney World the week prior. (We got back on the 12th.) I remember going bed the night before and trying to fall asleep as fast as possible so morning would come quickly. Sort of like on Christmas Eve. The next morning I ran to get the newspaper to see the ad for the film (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pota/files/BattleAd.jpg) and found out there was a second feature playing with Battle, the original 'Planet of the Apes' (which I had only seen once back in 1968). WOW, two Apes of the price of one. I was in POTA heaven.

About 2 weeks later the theater did a marathon of all the films and I got to see them all yet again. But today is a very special memory for me and just wanted to share it with everyone.

Loved the Dr. Zaius makeup and small write-up.  Amazing to see the photos...the chimps from the original movie had really dark areas around their eyes!
