I had to get rid of half a trashcan full of

Ultra Cal 30 when I moved.  It's not expensive,

but what a waste!  It's just not practical to run foam

these days.  I have all I can handle learning the new

DAWs and studio gear.  I long for the days when you just

pressed Record and let loose, but again, not very practical.

If I can ever get used to the computer stuff and non-liner editing

it will be worth it though.  The past couple years though I feel like

a guy trying to keep the dam from breaking with all his fingers and toes.

Reading the manuals on these things is like a set of phonebooks for the

five boroughs in Manhattan only not as interesting.  Any engineers out there?

Funny that they named the corporate stooge Jacobs, when Arthur Jacobs had to go up against the Fox powers to get POTA made. They should've named the main character Jacobs.

  By the way, the main character is named Will Rodman. Is that supposed to be a nod to Roddy (though his name was Roderick)? "Roddy! The Rodman! Rodster! Roood!"

 

Maybe it's supposed to be more Rod Serling than Roddy McDowall, still I'm not too crazy about the suggestiveness of "Rodman" anything, but this is about a guy who's messing around with DNA.

By the way, Jacobs actually fought the Fox board over there insistence on more APES movies until he finally said enough and sold them the thing, and of course what a great job Fox has done with APES since!

Cool photos, just before McDowall made PLANET.  Both no longer with us.  Died too young.

Yeah, my mother was reading a book by Obama's brother-in-law and told me he says that when they were kids they loved the POTA movies, but I questioned her further about it and now she says it only mentions that they went to see a "Planet of the Apes sequel" once at a drive-in.  My mother is in her seventies, she exaggerates.

 

But nearly everyone of "our" generation likes the POTA movies, I'll bet even the Pres.

Al, more advice, with most DLP and moderatly priced projection units, even some outragious ones, you really shouldnt go past 82 inches in size for screen. They loose resolution and brightness and black levels begin to fall apart. You can get, I think, a better lens that can control lighting and aspect ratio better. That would be in order if you want to go larger. Remember quality not quantity. Like I said before im not totally famialiar with your unit but I do know the technology.. Take care, John M.

You are right in a way. I did not do any investigating until we started talking about your unit. Like everything else based on digital technology it keeps getting better (or can be better) everyday. All you have to do is look into different lenses and if your lense can be swapped out for a good anamorphic one and get a stewart or da-lite gray screen with about 1.5 magnification in light
foot lamberts and your all set. The only way to get better without breaking the bank is to get a 1080p projector(from the same company if you like) then you really will go Ape over the picture. I should stop going of ape topic, even though your finding a way to enjoy apes more, before I get gorted. Take care again and dont forget to get your set calibrated when the time is right. It will make your set look like a double the price unit, trust me....John M.

So what I'm hearing of this and what I'm hearing of "Rise of the Apes" gives me hope. Maybe some day, in the not too distant future you may find yourself saying under your breath, "fox rocks...". Maybe you won't even believe you said it. Was it the wind?

Oh, it's wind all right.  Get yourself some Beano.

This came to mind the other day; that it's been over thirty years now since the start of "Home Video" and that last November was the 30th Anniversary of PLANET first appearing on VHS and Beta (BENEATH had been released a couple years earlier) -- as if that's anything to celebrate.  What I mean is, of course it's great that we've been able to watch our favorite movies anytime we want over the past three decades, but those early transfers were, in a word, primitive.  And if you complain about what DVDs and Blu-rays cost today, check out the attached scan of a flyer I've kept all these years announcing the release of PLANET and a couple other 20th Century-Fox films on cassette back in Nov. 1979, and check out what it would have cost you then for these titles (Check out just what blank tapes cost in those days!).

 

Anyone here able to adjust these prices to today's inflation?  I'd be interested.

 

And just what did you get for your money back then?  Well, a couple years ago someone here -- and I'm sorry but I can't remember who -- transferred a VHS Magnetic Video of PLANET to DVD-R for me.  I haven't kept these things (only the boxes) and no longer even own a VCR, but I was curious to see again just how bad it was -- and it was bad!  I remember that by 1985, just before the Playhouse Video remasterings, I could hardly stand to watch PLANET on VHS -- it was just too depressing.

 

What's the point of all this?  Well, there's a fair amount of dissatisfaction with the Blu-rays here, but I was thinking of just how glad I am it's not still 1979, or the decade of the eighties, or even the nineties, when it comes to what I'm watching on home video.

 

To give everyone here a clear picture of what I'm talking about, there will be two sequels to this post.

Here's the last set of screen captures comparing the 1979 Magnetic Video VHS transfer of PLANET to the 2008 Fox Blu-ray. I'm not sure, but I doubt PLANET looked much better when CBS broadcast it in the early seventies, and most certainly when it appeared on the local 4:30 Movie and such later in the decade.

Praise the Lawgiver for Blu-ray, though I, too, think that Fox could do even better with the current 1080p transfer.

Not only do I no longer have a VCR, but I don't have a laserdisc player anymore either. If I did, I'd copy the 1991 CBS/Fox "Letterboxed Edition" of PLANET to DVD-R then do screen captures of that to show everyone here just how bad that was.

Wow Rory...what a difference!  On August 15, I went to San Jose to watch a double feature of the apes movies.  It was a bluray projection on the big screen.  I was just so shocked that it was so clear...especially noticeable when the wild critters start snatching the astronaut clothes.  I swear I could see every leaf and every shadow...like someone finally gave me glasses that were the right prescription.  They did a really great job.   We sat at the exact center of the dome theater, the best seats according to the technician as that was where the sounds concentrated after being bounced around.  Other than the seat pan being too big for my frame and my back was killing me by the end of the two films, it was a great experience to see the apes again on the big screen.

 

 

Jess.

Now you see, here's another who saw projected Blu-rays and says it was great.  Whether Blu-rays or 4K hard drives, this is the future of motion picture projection.  I'm not against film, just bad prints, which is mostly what you get.

 

How many people attended, Jess?

Amazing.  Can you imagine if they were still asking that much for movies?  And I bought several of those Magnetic Video releases.  What a waste.  I remember now that my first VHS deck, which only recorded in SP and LP, cost $950.  Being the movie nut that I was, I HAD to have it, but boy I wish now I'd saved my money and waited.

 

I remember how mad I was when laserdiscs died that I'd wasted so much on discs and players.  I could have bought a good used car on what I spent on that stuff.

I remember when Sony came out with Betamax in 1975 or maybe '76. Beneath was one of the first movies offered on home video. I remember passing a Mom & Pop electronics store on my way home from school where the box for Beneath was displayed in the window and thinking 'wow how cool being able to watch Beneath anytime you wanted to".

Rory,

Using the Consumer Price Index tables published by the Federal government, today's equivalent price (as compared to November 1979)for the $44.95 PLANET OF THE APES video would be $129.08, the equivalent price for the $18.95 blank VHS tape would be $54.42! Ouch!

on the page are not music - merely notation.

a written representation of the music. The

music should flow from within you.  Try

playing with your eyes closed, like you're

Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder or something.

I believe in Britain they call those

guitarists who are constantly looking

at their fingers in stead of the audience

"Shoe Gazers" 'cause they look like they're

always staring at their feet.  Just go nuts and

play something, anything by ear.  Have fun with it!  : )

Does anyone know (hint, hint, Bill) when BROKENSEA's website might be coming back up? And if so, when might the next POTA audio be posted?

_NJR_ Not to seem TOO insistent... :)

Forgive me if this is old news for I am not an Irwin Allen expert. But they used this track and others from "Lost in Space" by Johnny Williams for the famed Edward G. Robinson makeup test:

 

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGMjeGh6i-w 

 

 Basically the first music ever used for POTA . Wouldn't it be groovy if Williams went full circle and scored "Rise of the Apes"? I know, it'll never happen. Your loved ones would be dead and forgotten for 20 centuries before he'd do it. 20 centuries! But still, now is the time to fantasize before the cold reality of the hack they hire is announced. >SIGH!<

I'll forgive you, Veetus, for mentioning something I've already mentioned.

 

Yeah, anyone familiar with "Lost in Space" would immediately recognize the music in the APES test reel.  I wonder who the DP was?

 

Did you know that Charles G. Clark, a veteran Fox cinematographer shot a couple "Lost in Space" episodes and several "Land of the Giants" and was an uncredited DP on PLANET, shooting the interior spaceship stuff that was actually the last stuff to be shot?

 

Did you know that, Veetus?

 

If John Williams wants to score the new APES, he'll probably get to do it, but I'll bet his rates are pretty high, so it'll most probably go to a newer composer.  Who scored the latest X-MEN?  Probably that person.

Isn't anyone going to adapt a 3rd Boulle book?

How many have you read, Veetus?

 

I've read around five.  Most would be dated today.

Subject: [pota] OT: "Bridge on the River Kwai" blu-ray announced

 

 The blu for the OTHER Pierre Boulle novel made into a film (it also had Michael Wilson doing the scripting) has been officially announced for Nov. 2nd as a two disc, remastered wonder that will include a new comprehensive documentary that will cover everything from adapting Boulle's novel to how they remastered this bad boy. Everyone knows the famous theme (Rod Serling had it play on his car horn).

 So only two Boulle novels have been made into films and both were Oscar-winning classics of moviedom. Isn't anyone going to adapt a 3rd Boulle book? He's not around to complain about it any more.

Appreciate the kind words and the assist my friend.

I usually don't bring up life's pitfalls as I am a "get knocked down, dust yourself off, and smack the offender back in the mouth harder than he hit you" kinda person- and I try not to whine about stuff- so bear with me if I prattle on.

Again- thank you for the kind words.

Thanks Jess- appreciate it mucho!

Here's a pic of what the cover to the Blu-ray of RIVER KWAI will look like.  They've gone back to original poster elements -- so I like it.

 

Hope all those with a Blu-ray player will order it.  It's a pretty good movie.  Al, are you planning on getting it?

 

Sony has just finally announced the title as a 2-disc Blu-ray Disc/DVD Combo Collector's Edition, due to street on 11/2 (SRP $34.95). In addition to HD and SD versions of the film (presented in the original 2.55:1 aspect ratio, fully restored and mastered from a 4K scan with audio in newly-remixed DTS-HD MA 5.1), extras on the 2-disc set will include a new Crossing: Picture-in-Graphics viewing mode, an exclusive new retrospective documentary covering everything from the adaptation of the original Boulle novel to the restoration, 2 featurettes (An Appreciation by John Milius and Rise and Fall of a Jungle Giant), rare audio of William Holden narrating the film's premiere events, a USC short film introduced by Holden, footage of holden and Alec Guinness on The Steve Allen Show and a photo gallery. The package will also include a 35-page book with liner notes and production photos, as well as original lobby card replicas. As we noted on 7/30, Amazon.com is already taking pre-orders on the release - they currently have it priced at 30% off, or just $24.95.
