Ill find a way soon because I have alot of cool stuff that I talk about and Im getting sick of telling everyone and not proving it. My kids will be getting me a "great" scanner soon. John M.

That's a great deal. The book alone is worth $43 so even if you don't currently have a Blu Ray player it is worth buying now.

I've always thought the gylphs were more like military ranks, symbols that denote status rather than having a literal meaning.

No need to thank me, thank Amazon for the sale. Hope you like the book.

Here is something interesting. The POTA box set is now ranked 3rd in Amazon's bestseller's list, right behind Avatar: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/dvd/ref=pd_dp_ts_d_1

But the Gorillas are not in charge, the Orangutans are and they were more theocratic.

What are these from? My guess is either the KORG TV series or one of those Janos Prohaska "early Man" TV shows....

Sci-fi legend Ridley Scott tells MTV that the prequel to his classic "Alien" is a go, saying, "There's no question about it, we're going to make the film". He still hasn't said he'll direct it, but the interview suggests that he will. Curiously, it sounds like it won't feature the iconic title creatures but go in a new direction because he says those creatures have been bled dry by all the movies (he says of the recent "Alien vs. Predator" flicks, "what a pity").
> Scott hasn't touched a science fiction film since "Alien" and "Blade Runner", both often considered in the Top 10 (or even Top 5) of the all-time sci-fi classics. If he's willing to dive back in with Fox on sci-fi (especially one of their almighty franchises) maybe they are putting their best foot forward, and that might be good news for "Caesar".
> Scott says he hopes to release the movie in late 2011, a year that will already be heavy with prequels to both Fox's "X-Men" and POTA, but it will probably be more 2012. And the new Robert Rodriguez "Predators" opens this summer. Good luck, Fox.

I'm not saying that a theocracy is not equally oppressive; but when I hear the term police state, I tend to think of Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union where religion is suplanted (or even outlawed) by adoration of the state and/or the dictator.

No.

That was simple:-)

That's easy. Both Heston and Judy Garland were active members of the NRA. In his autobiograph, Mickey Rooney wrote that during the filming of the Andy Hardy films Judy was packing during all their kissing scenes just in case Mickey got too randy and slipped her the tongue.

Thanks William. I love that trade ad. The numbers seem small by today's standards but back then the ticket price was probably around $2 or $3.

The female gorilla has a costume designed. There is a pic of it in our photos section: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pota/photos/album/759517836/pic/1835187922/view?picmode=&mode=tn&order=ordinal&start=81&count=20&dir=asc
