The stands do not work right, they are impossible.The sideshow wiring for the stand works perfect.They sell the black stands on ebay I think,the wire part also fits inside the hot toys bottom of the stand with name plate so it works great.

I received mine approx a month ago and the head sculpt is one of the best I have seen.I have all the Apes figures,and can find faults in most.Even the new hot toys Apes, from the front they look very good, but the side of them look real bad with the bridge of the nose going straight down instead of curving downward.That pisses me off big time.But I think you will like the Zaius a lot.The back of the clothing is not screen accurate, but it is minor to me.If the heads look great which is rare, then I can deal with any costume flaws.This head sculpt again is amazing.

Tim,

I haven't seen any "official" photographs. The ones I've seen were on fan web site like Sideshow Collectors, and I've also seen the stand for sale on eBay and described as a "hook-on between the legs" style. And personally, I just don't see any other way for it to work. I'm with you, though, the waist wrap around style is definitely preferable to this. I'm not really complaining though, I'll take collectibles of this quality any time and just keep my mouth shut.

Hiya, all!

Here's a semi-unusual request (or maybe not)... I'm looking for some info on the "scarecrows" that the intrepid Icarus astronauts come across just before they find water in the Planet of the Apes. They look like logs erected in a narrow "x" shaped, wrapped with pelts / skins/ fur to look vaguely look like ape figures.

I'm curious if anyone has any ideas as to size, material, etc. I might even luck out with somebody having some nice behind the scenes shots.

I want to build some props for my 1/6 scale apes I have incoming... and figure the scarecrows would be a good start.

Thanx in advance!

An ending which he stole from the book!

 

 

8. Planet of the Apes (director) – the original belongs in a Top 9 list of All-Time sci-fi movies, and while Burton doesn't come that close, he's not a damn dirty ape for attempting this remake. It features great makeup and a nice attempt at a twist ending of its own.

The APES marathon schedule is already up at the Fox Movie Channel
website. Looks like it all starts at 6 AM Friday on Oct. 30th and goes
for the whole weekend -- just like before! Now if only TFMC were in HD.

Personally, I was going to say how much the Ape films always come to mind when I think Halloween.  I mean, I always hang up my Planet of the Ape decorations for the holiday.  Oh, yeah, the Universal Monsters never come to mind on the holiday.  Then there's all those holiday themed Planet of the Apes Halloween songs we used to sing as kids.   I suppose since FOX did the APE marathon for last THANKSGIVING they might as well do it for Halloween.  What's next, Easter!  Passover!  Valentines Day!   Why not, I'm still amazed over Blu-ray box sets being given out to the audience on Rachel Ray's cooking show. - Scott --- On Sun, 9/13/09, lawford42 <lawford42@...> wrote: From: lawford42 <lawford42@...> Subject: [pota] Halloween POTA marathon on Fox Movie Channel To: pota@yahoogroups.com Date: Sunday, September 13, 2009, 8:16 PM   I heard from the person I know at Fox Movie Channel, and he told me that they're planning on running another POTA marathon but this time it's going to be on Halloween.

Actually, I think Halloween and the APES films are a good fit.... kind
of. Anyway, I wish some channel would get the rights to all the old
Universal films. If it wasn't for DVDs, I'd hardly ever see them
happened, along with hurricanes in Hertford, Hereford, and Hampshire.

Thanksgiving is the KING KONG marathon, Scott! You know that!

WOR Forever!

If FOX really decided to do a Blu release of the POTA TV Series they would have to go back to the original negatives, clean them up, and do a scene by shot for shot color timing correction.  Typical of many episodic DVD release this is a cost prohibitive concern that simply isn't done.  Movies are different since they are a single shot ordeal with a limited running time.  The very nature of even a limited run series is still up there when you consider the total running time and work involved. Here in the US this is very rare if it happens at all.  In the UK there is more of a concern given to "library" releases for TV on DVD with restorations being conducted by companies like Granada who has put considerable effort into past shows like SPACE: 1999, and THE PRISONER. In order to secure the effort they have made deals with various cable companies to partially pay for the rendering of HD masters.  It is further funded by deals made with DVD companies for both standard DVD masters from the HD for home video release. Now in the case of FOX even though it is owned by one company with umbrella companies (Cable, Home Video) each is still in control and must abide by budgets set up within their realm. I'm not say it can't be done, I'm just saying it would take someone with both the fore thought and savvy to relegate a deal that would both pay and exploit the POTA Series for restoration/remaster to spread out the cost and profit for this project to be done - both domestic and foreign - to make it work. Going by the past I just don't see FOX doing this.  My only fear is that they could pull a fast one and simply  up-convert the old mastered and burn them onto Blu-ray.  This up-converting is something that goes on with some cable channels who aren't really broadcasting true HD masters of films.  Worse it when TNT actually crops films and broadcasts them in HD like the LORD OF THE RINGS Trilogy - which should be 2.35:1 but is broadcast in 1.85:1. Simply up-converting  a standard DVD master to 1080i is something a good DVD player can do.  It would be criminal if FOX decided to do the same and release the POTA TV Series on Blu just to save money and take advantage of the fans. If the TV Series was ever scheduled for a Blu release it would been a restoration and new master to fully take advantage of the HD format. --- On Tue, 9/15/09, Michael & Sally Whitty <mswhitty@...> wrote: From: Michael & Sally Whitty <mswhitty@...> Subject: [pota] POTA TV Series 35th Anniversary To: pota@yahoogroups.com Cc: PotaDG@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, September 15, 2009, 8:23 AM   I'd have to say I don't think they could make it shine any more than the DVD release.   It would be like one of the many releases we seem to be getting where it is on Blu-Ray, but the quality is no better.   To justify a BR release, they have to come up with a better looking master print, then transfer that to BR.   I hope I'm wrong but I think the POTA TV Show master is as good as you get and the DVD is as good a representation of that as you can get.   Anyone else suffer from inferior BR releases?   Michael   From: pota@yahoogroups. com [ pota@yahoogroups. com ] On Behalf Of shanter2002 Sent: Tuesday, 15 September 2009 7:41 PM To: pota@yahoogroups. com Subject: [pota] Re: Ape City Chronicles/POTA TV Series 35th Anniversary     .I was wondering, who would be the best person to write to to plead for the tv series on blu ray?

A BD release of the POTA TV series? Not very likely. Has anyone else
noticed that the number of Fox classic movie releases has dropped to
nothing? We just got a Blu-ray of the movie M*A*S*H and that's about
it.

Scott is right, a BD release of the TV series would require a complete
restoration. I doubt anyone at Fox would go for it.

Watched the first episode on the 35th anniversary evening. You know
the day after it first aired back in 1974 I was depressed. I knew it
was bad and I still think it is. About three years ago I tried to
watch the entire series, an episode a day. I don't think I made it
passed six episodes.

Oh, well... anyway some people like it.

restoration and new master to fully take advantage of the HD format.

I'd have to say I don't think they could make it shine any more than
the DVD release.

It would be like one of the many releases we seem to be getting where
it is on Blu-Ray, but the quality is no better.

To justify a BR release, they have to come up with a better looking
master print, then transfer that to BR.

I hope I'm wrong but I think the POTA TV Show master is as good as you
get and the DVD is as good a representation of that as you can get.

Anyone else suffer from inferior BR releases?

Michael

I didn’t have your standards OR your insights when I was 9 Rory (actually I’m POSITIVE the TV show didn’t get to Australia till 1976 so make that 11 years old!).

I very much enjoyed the first episode, and very much looked forward to the next.

POTA had earned my respect and taken me places no other film or TV show had and I wanted to entrust it to teach me more.

Sadly, when I try to watch it now the TV Show just puts me to sleep.  But thanks for the memories….

A BD release of the POTA TV series? Not very likely. Has anyone else
noticed that the number of Fox classic movie releases has dropped to
nothing? We just got a Blu-ray of the movie M*A*S*H and that's about
it.

Scott is right, a BD release of the TV series would require a complete
restoration. I doubt anyone at Fox would go for it.

Watched the first episode on the 35th anniversary evening. You know
the day after it first aired back in 1974 I was depressed. I knew it
was bad and I still think it is. About three years ago I tried to
watch the entire series, an episode a day. I don't think I made it
passed six episodes.

Oh, well... anyway some people like it.

If FOX really decided to do a Blu release of the POTA TV Series they
would have to go back to the original negatives, clean them up, and do
a scene by shot for shot color timing correction.

I totally agree, Jeff.I think the show stands up very well today.I'd love a blu ray release---they interviewed Booth for the last box set but didn't use it, and I think there's more from Bill Blake too that didn't make the cut.The tv series was the real motivation for the merchandise blitz and a documentary on that phenomenon would be interesting.The tv series is wrongly maligned, in my opinion and deserves the full blu ray treatment.John, Scrolls.

Jeff, You're not alone.  I very much enjoy the series and have found I've gown fonder of it as the years have passed.  Where I looked only for adventure and action, when younger, now I enjoy the purity of the performances and characters within each episode. Having viewed each episode several times through the years I have especially noticed the wonderful rapport between McDowell and Naughton' characters which reverberate with rich interplay. I always thought the series fell in-between the final and first films; filling a historical gap within the timeline.  But upon recent viewing I considered it an alternate timeline into an Ape future altered by suggested variations as stated by Virgil.  A different world yet with some familiar names and characters but panning out in a altered way.  This future offers more of a hope that Apes and Humans have a chance at making it work.  Then again if in deed it is still leading to PLANET and a complete downfall of humanity; and ultimately the Earth, each episode holds more than previously accepted having our astronauts and Galen seemingly trying to spread the hope of unity between the species yet ultimately meaning nothing.  By the final episodes I feel it was trying to reach something it was never allowed to achieve..  I think a second season would have opened up many possibilities with alternate storylines between Apes, Humans, our three heroes and perhaps a mutant society yet undealt with.  I remember as a kid thinking that the name Zaius was perhaps more of a title/name given to the one who held that position, perhaps cultivated from childhood with a kabal as keeper of the secrets/history of the Ape culture - like the mutants have Mendez. On another point since the DVD release the added clarity of the picture has exposed how much McDowell isn't on camera - the use of a stand-in, who even speaks, is alarming. As a child I was drawn to the APES not for the hunt, or the revolts or the battle, but for the sake of seeing and being amazed by the performances and emotion played out by characters who were so amazingly real in an unreal way.  It was all about seeing talking animals who would finally express their feelings, thoughts and grievances.  As an animal lover we impart so much of what 'we" think they feel or think but never really know exactly what is really being expressed.  This was so perfectly expressed in the episode, THE GOOD SEEDS" when the farmer's wife corrects her daughter after seeing Virdon get emotional over being separated from his wife and child.  She tells her daughter, "They have feelings too."  With all the sociological and political mimicry presented in the films this I think touches deeper and more profound ground for me than anything previous.  It is still one of my favorite episodes, and even after 35 years resonates in an emotional way. - Scott --- On Wed, 9/16/09, Jeff <skintricks@...> wrote: From: Jeff <skintricks@...> Subject: [pota] Re: POTA TV Series 35th Anniversary To: pota@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2009, 1:45 AM   Am I alone in the feeling that I like the show more now?  Only two episodes date themselves and I can overlook that.   Jeff B ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael & Sally Whitty To: pota@yahoogroups. com Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 8:48 PM Subject: RE: [pota] Re: POTA TV Series 35th Anniversary   I didn't have your standards OR your insights when I was 9 Rory (actually I'm POSITIVE the TV show didn't get to Australia till 1976 so make that 11 years old!).

Personally, I don't think we would have the Ape fandom we have today if there hadn't been the tv series.The impetus the series gave to merchandising, comics and film marathons really entrenched Apes in the public memory.Without the tv series, fandom would probably be more akin to the 2001 set, without a truly broad appeal.John, Scrolls.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but does anyone know the name of the artist who painted the artwork for the BATTLE... one sheet?

I'm the webmaster of a fansite dedicated to movie poster artist Frank C. McCarthy (http://www.conancompletist.com/darkofthesun/Frank_C_McCarthy.html, and the artwork done for BATTLE seems to share some similarities with his style (for example, the rocks on the ground, the sided red light on the main character, the multitude - men fighting, horses charging - in the background, the Aldo pose that seems reminiscent of the Moses one from the TEN COMMANDMENTS one sheet, etc.). On the other hand, McCarthy was supposedly not active anymore in the movie poster business when BATTLE was released, and I'm inclined to think that this artwork was rather done by some McCarthy copycat...

Any idea?

Does anyone know if this is going to be a published book one can buy, or an ongoing online novel? Hopefully the former. I can't really tell from reading the featured site's info. Thanks!

It will be a published novel.

Only nowhere near as good. However, I remember it being fun.

idea?

I got mine several days ago but didn't open it until tonight. I'm
generally pleased with it, but I do wish I could change the pose. I'm
not going to be checking out his butt, so I don't care if the jacket
isn't right in the back, but I definitely don't like how the hair looks
in the back, so I'll just never look at the back. I also think the
clothing isn't as orange as it should be. I'm also not sure the glyph
on the boots is right, but I'll have to check the movie or something.
Overall, though, it's pretty nice.

What isn't so nice is the nearly $300 (that includes shipping) that's
now added to my Visa. I almost think I'd have prefered a frontal
lobotomy.

you said it brother!!!! The only one that even comes close to "yesterdays" posters is Drew Struzan and the last great poster ive seen (got 3 of em mint) is Raiders of the Lost Ark the 81 release of a portrait of Ford as Indy done by Amsel. I think "Battle POTA" is my favorite poster. I do like the french poster for "Escape POTA" but its so huge I can't put it anywhere!!!..........Joe OBrien

I have a French Kim Hunter in The Seventh Victim

poster like that.  It's probably bigger than any wall

in the place. She was like, "Where did you get this!?!"

Ah, the wonders of the Internet. It's literally unframeable.

I cant even remember if it's ever been completely unfolded.

If I did it was on the bed and it would have hung over the edges.

Thanks for that.  Even though

they're more or less the same

answers to the same questions,

same old stories, being told in a

slightly different way was like hearing

her again.  Has it really been seven years?

Only nowhere near as good. However, I remember it being fun.

Guys -- I know I'm miles behind you in terms of being informed about this stuff, but does anyone know if you can get the scripts for unfilmed tv episodes THE TREK, FREEDOM ROAD, THE MINE and THE TRIAL...?

Cheers,

Mark.

Those are unavailable, unfortunately. The only source I'm aware of is Simian Scrolls, which printed an excerpt from a writer's bible that mentioned them.

I believe that won a contest in 2003 or 2004...it's a customized Dr. Zaius based on the Simpsons.

You should be making your own appliances, Jess.

If you can sculpt that small it'll be a walk in the park.
