So about 1/3rd full is about 200 people. That's a lot more than 20.

Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD (1969 Issue 11)-58273.jpg

For those who didn't get a chance to buy it last time, the POTA Blu Ray boxset is once again on sale at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001G7PX80?tag=plaoftheapeme-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=B001G7PX80&adid=013EN55JEEVFQG0NWSC6&

This time the price has only been cut to $52 (vs. $42 last time) but it is still a great bargin.

Thanks Mark. That's a very interesting coincidence.

There are a lot of good dates like

• January 14th: The date of Taylor's launch
• February 8th: The date the first film premiered.
• March 1st: The date on the first 3 promo Heralds
• May 21st: The date the first film began shooting.
• July 14: The date on the ship's clock at the start of the first film.

Yes!

Like Rory, I tend to think of the POTA films as a summer event. That is when I saw all the films, even the first one. That's when all the Go Ape! marathons were held and even when the first issue of Marvel's magazine came out.

I don't think Mendez knows that the bomb will destroy the whole world. As Brent said, 'Those fools, they don't know what they've got'.

I'm for the April 3rd date, also - that would at least put it in Spring. I don't associate POTA with Fall or Winter. (Another reason I have never cared for BATTLE, it's filmed in Winter, and it looks it.)
