Yes, they are to be taken seriously---by kids. I understand they are popular with many adults also but I feel its a medium that just caters to a young or young minded set. Some dark comics or Watchmen type comics are more sophisticated but in generaal comics were and are tarheted to people under 18, just my opinion, and we all have one...John M.

What a load of hugger-mugger. Yeah, Fox was in dire straits financially but they also relegated "Apes" to the children's ghetto, so they didn't feel it was worth investment. And sequels were looked down on. There's many variables. Now it's an upside-down civilization where kids and sequels rule but back then Fox felt it would be diminishing returns and it became self-fulfilling.
Now excuse me while I self-fulfill myself.

Back in the day a lot of people thought of POTA as "kids' stuff" (some still do). That's why the budgets for the sequels were so low.
That's not true, and now it's time for a little "proper study of APES.

While the concept of PLANET was, and still is, seen as "kids' stuff" to many, Fox had tried to counter that with the way PLANET was originally promoted as "An Unusual and Important Motion Picture," which is probably pretentious but what the hell, and 40 plus years later the "motion picture" is just as popular as it has ever been. But the budgets for the sequels were low primarily because the studio was in dire financial straights during the years those sequels were made. Fox nearly went belly up the same way it had back after the CLEOPATRA debacle, and unfortunately the sequels had to suffer, and even with that, the limited budgets really didn't sting until they got to BATTLE, by which time the filmmakers had pretty much exhausted their creativity -- given the budget constraints.

>So then you're saying you see POTA as comic book level stuff?

What I'm saying is that literature is literature, regardless of medium. Some of it is brilliant, some of it is just average and some of it is unadulterated crap. That's true for books, it's true for movies and it's true for comics. I consider Boulle's POTA novel a fun read--but I consider Alan Moore's Watchmen to be far better written. I consider Rod Serling's Twilight Zone scripts to be gold--but I consider Moore's V for Vendetta much more compelling and sophisticated than many of them. I consider Shakespeare to be among the best writers of all time--but I consider Jamie Delano's Hellblazer run to be more consistently thought-provoking. And I consider Gone With the Wind to be one of the greatest movies ever made--but I consider Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns to be far more powerful. I am more concerned with the quality of writing and the story being told than I am with the medium in which that story is being presented. Boulle wrote some great books--but in my opinion, Moore, Delano and Miller are all better writers, and I'd be more likely to re-read Watchmen for a sixth time than I would Boulle's Monkey Planet. Dismissing all of comicdom as kids' stuff--while it's certainly your right, and I don't mean to come off as arguing with you--means you're closing yourself off to a lot of brilliant literature.

sorry to disagree here but the modern comic IS definitely NOT geared
towards children - no parent would hand Watchmen, Kickass or the current
Batman to a child - Japanese manga is a good example of how NOT for
children comics can be but these are often dismissed simple because they
are a drawn medium. As for the 'nebbish' label I find it funny that
people who will happily dress up and paint their faces and act like
idiots in support of some sports team can point their fingers at people
like us and say 'nerd'. I know that everyone has opinions but to
dismiss the medium as childish is well childish in itself.

I'm trying to picture FOX building websites and interest around
their products. The day Fox does what George Lucas did with
Star Wars, and what Disney and Universal has done with there
products, Apes would've taken over for real by then!

Patrick Doyle is the composer of "Rise of the Apes". If anyone's interested in the music aspect, filmtracks has a profile and various reviews of Doyle works can be clicked on. They're the experts, you're not, and they think he's rather swell:

http://www.filmtracks.com/composers/doyle..html"

Doyle has a long association with director Kenneth Branagh, from his first score "Henry V" to his most recent, this summer's "Thor" (Branagh's "As You Like It" featured Doyle as an actor and also starred "Rise" actor David Oyelowo). Doyle's only sci-fi score to date is for Branagh's "Frankenstein":

I guess Amazon will have a special "lightning sale" on the Caesar head this afternoon. Caesar's hot. Did you know he's the star of a new movie coming out this year? You buy this, you're head and shoulders above the crowd. Duh, WINNING!
Actually, regular DVD is sooo first decade of the 21st Century. And it contains the crappy version of the cartoons. And it's the old school version of Caesar. But still, you can't beat the price (I think). Duh, SAVING!

Maybe like me, he prefers the book to any of the films, series, comics, etc that have come since. That's not to say that there's nothing to enjoy or love about the films and other stuff that have come out since the book (heck, I enjoy the Burton film, too, but best not go there), but that they're not a patch on the original novel. Still, apples and oranges springs to mind with this type of argument; it's not black-and-white, where you can't enjoy the film if you prefer the book. However, I do think that Haristas has gone a little too far for my liking on this subject, even if I do generally agree that illustrations in a comic story are usually there because the author didn't have the imagination to explain in words and impart into the imagination what's shown in pictures. There are some great comics out there, but they're usually few and far between (the usual suspects tend to get thrown about: Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Maus, etc).

Hence why comics appeal to the young... and then we move on to more challenging and imaginative things. Sorry. ;)

But, I will admit that not all comics are the same. There are great comics out there, there are poor ones, too, much like other mediums of the imagination. Still, to me, a picture in a comic has forced itself into your imagination in the simplest way, doing the work for the reader, while a work of literature, like a novel, has to use words in order to convey to the imagination the scenes, characters, etc, allowing the reader to construct out of the building blocks given by the author. I find that comics tend to limit rather than challenge your imagination, but there are exceptions to this that I'll readily accept.

Yes, and? Did I say anything against the acting of Heston in my comment? Did I say that the film wasn't good (I love the film, it's just that I prefer the book). Maybe I've misunderstood your point, and if I have I'm sorry, but I don't understand why showing Heston playing in Shakespeare plays is counter to anything that I've said.

Shakespeare didn't write no comic books. The "imagination" soars on the wings of Shakey's words, something comic book writers (or readers) could never understand, no?
Heston and Doyle are on topic to what this group is about, that's all.

Yes, and? Did I say anything against the acting of Heston in my comment? Did I say that the film wasn't good (I love the film, it's just that I prefer the book). Maybe I've misunderstood your point, and if I have I'm sorry, but I don't understand why showing Heston playing in Shakespeare plays is counter to anything that I've said.

Your right James, but see how all those comic guys are ganging up on Rory and me to a smaller extent just like, umm...just like Children....HAHA, John M.

dude no one is ganging up on anyone - you are trying unsuccessfully to
ram your opinion down our throats and when we disagree you call us
children - you have some problem with comics fine we get it and I for
one accept that you have issues about them but really calling us
children simply because we disagree with you is just wrong.

Verily, if that's what you want. Personally, I don't see it as black-and-white as that, but there you go.

I see. Maybe I need that in comic form. ;)


Graham F

Since I posted "Apes" composer Patrick Doyle's credits I'll just add he's done a lot of highfallutin' classics; Shakespeare, "Great Expectations", Jane Austin's "Sense and Sensibility". And he's not above doing a "comic book movie": "Thor". Or science-fiction, which was looked down on in it's day too. Ask Arthur Jacobs. Well, if you could.

I think you missed the sale. I tracked back to the talkback in the article and they said it sold out in 9 minutes. So I guess they only had a certain amount for sale. Did anyone see what the "lightning" price was?

I'm seeing a price of $154.99.

That's way too high. I guess I'm still going to just say NO! to head.

At this point everyone has had their say on this matter.

No more posts on this topic will be approved.

You could run his Apes and Spider-Man scores and not notice the join.I'm sure there's other scores of Elfman you could add into that mix.I'm not asking for the soaring heights of a Goldsmith, but it would be wondeful to have a score with an Apes 'identity' with a bit of emotion in it.Here's hoping.John, Scrolls.

There's some beautiful new art on Deviantart.com... Check this out!

The one called "Trophies" by Jason Edmiston is particularly awesome.
He's got a nice portfolio and done some covers for mags like Famous
Monsters (the new run). I was hoping he had more POTA seeing as he did
such a great job on that one, but the closest thing he's got is some
gorilla's and a few Kong pieces.

Thanks for pointing these out.

Not as cheap as the sale on Sunday but $75 is not a bad price for the ape head. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000E6ESG2?tag=plaoftheapeme-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=B000E6ESG2&adid=18GWT3263Q48YS8F6APE

They'll probably include POTA2001 as a second disc on that ultimate POTA1968 blu-ray. ; )

Let me know when it drops to like $5.

Remember, the 2001 movie is included with this. Fox has to pay me to order that again.

I like Elfman's POTA music. I listen to it from time to time. I like almost all the "elements" of that movie but the script. And that's a big "but".

The music was, possibly, the least objectionable element of Burton's Apes.Elfman's music seems to do the job whilst the movie is actually playing, but then sort of melts away in the mind.I can imagine people still listening to Jerry's Apes in twenty years, but it's hard to imagine anybody in twenty years even remembering Danny's Apes.I'm hoping for something great this time around.And if Jeff is going to use potty mouth, so am I from now on.John, Scrolls.

How you doing, first its the -35th anniversay edition- and out side of being a collector theirs no need. Some here say that one of the soundtracks is better than any offered after this . To me their isnt any better sound to the 35th edition than any after--they are all wrong. If you must get rid of it go ahead. Also the box set is blu-ray and has all the extras, I think, I hope someone else chimes in about the extras. I see no reason not to keep it, you got it and resale is nothing special so be a completist and keep it anyway. Take care John M.

Does anyone please have specific directions via car from Hollywood to THAT beach at Point Dume in Malibu? Assume it's a drive then a walk. I'm here editing my first movie in LA and I NEED to make the pilgrimage.

I know the way but does anyone have the clever route?

Appreciated,
