If you ever want to see the first ever Paul Williams movie watch The Loved One, from 1965.  Roddy McDowall is in it too along with a whole slew of stars.  So many it's like It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, with a hint of Eraser Head in the scenes with Rod Steiger.  .  In fact one of the Stars from IAMMMMW is in it.  It's just plain strange.  It's kind of like another Terry Southern film Dr. Strange Love, only without the Bomb.  It's over the top!

It looks like a fun movie. On your recommendation, I slipped it in
at number 3, so I expect we'll have it by next Friday or Saturday.
Now, if it was a musical, that would be even better!! (I'm doing
musicals with the kids for school this year.)

Thanks, Rory.

OK. I should have done this to start with. I looked it up on
IMDB. So, you know my family? Not much information, but this
sounds like a lot of fun! And, with a rocking band and an IMDB
comment that mentions lipsynch, I'm guessing it could be a musical.
You said immediately, so I'm moving it to number one. Does Roddy
sing?

It pretty much is a kid's movie, and it does have music, a band, two of the members of which is Lou Wagner and a young Richard Dreyfuss.  HELLO DOWN THERE isn't that good a movie, but it's somewhat amusing -- and you get to see Roddy and Lou together in the same scenes without the ape makeup and as they looked in those days.

I don't know if I've ever even seen Lou Wagner without Apes makeup.
Might have without knowing it, I guess. The kids watch Unlikely
Angel over and over just to catch Roddy. I think that may have been
his last movie. Do you know?

Roddy's last movie was A BUG'S LIFE, but that was just his voice.  I'll have to look on IMDB.com to figure out what the last film was he appeared in.

Nothing against them, but they are not the Great Apes as those on POTA are... Even a search online will tell you that they aren't in the Great Apes "family".... They are not even defined as such. The World Book Online Reference Center says: Scientific classification. Gibbons make up the lesser ape family, Hylobatidae.

The way they'd affect the POTA is that they would just be thrown in there for the sake of being there, even though they have no place on it...

I just watched "Camelot" with the kids yesterday -- the 1967 version
with Richard Harris as King Arthur and Vanessa Redgrave as
Guenevere. (Thanks to Rory for the Roddy site. I was able to
locate Roddy's Camelot appearance as Mordred at the Majestic on
Broadway, Dec. '60 to Sept. '61.) I was talking with the kids about
the Kennedy's and we were trying to figure out how the Kennedy era
became referred to as "Camelot." We had some thoughts, but I will
share this bit of information with the kids. Thanks for letting us
know about Roddy's part in the Broadway production. Very timely
information!

Thanks, Cougar. John actually mentioned that to me, also. We
didn't get CHiPS. We could only get one TV station. I'll see what
he looks like in the movie Rory suggested and see if that jogs my
memory at all. I actually did see Dragnet some, but I doubt I would
remember from that. I am really curious now, though. And, to bring
this back around, my youngest has just this week taken a big shine
to my Lucius Medicom, so (again) this is very timely.

Hello Micahel
Did they tell you what figures they would be releasing in the
future? I can't get nohthing out of them.
I did send a long email asking waht the deal was with Caesar. I sent
pics of Caesar showing the differance so I hope that they make
Caesar look more like Caesar before he is released.
We will see

DOes any one remember the Phil Doanhue Show? I remeber in the 70's,
I think about the same time as the TV series was on, Phil had the
makeup artis on and while on the show, they put the Ape makeup on
Phil and he did the rest of the show in the makeup.
Did any one else see this epsiode? Does any one hafe it???

Lou Wagner was also in an episode of "Lost in Space."  (I believe he was painted green and had pointed ears.)  He was also the "hamburglar" on the old McDonald's TV commercials, but of course he wore a mask for those.  He was also the nerdy teenager in the original AIRPORT movie.

I've heard of it, but never seen it. 

I do remember one Donahue where Charlton Heston was on and some lady in the audience called POTA juvenile and Heston was kind of taken aback.  I was glad to see that he defended the original movie as something meant very much for adults.

Phil Donahue wrote an autobiography a long time ago and there's a picture
of him as Dr. Zauis from that show. - - - Jeff

Yes, they did do him up as Zaius. I remeber that now that you
mention it. DO you have the book? Could you upload the pic so we all
could see it?
I tried to find a way to contact him on the net but can't. I was
goig t osee if I could get a video copy of it. If any one can find
out how to get a hold of him, or reps from the show, let me know.

No, I don't have the book but it should be readily available in used book
stores. There's a big picture of his smiling mug on the cover. I think it's
called "Donahue" from 1981. (Amazon has a listing but no picture) . - - -

Does any one remember the Phil Donahue Show? I remember in the 70's,
I think about the same time as the TV series was on, Phil had the
makeup artist on and while on the show, they put the Ape makeup on
Phil and he did the rest of the show in the makeup.
Did any one else see this episode? Does any one have it???

YES, I do remember that!!! He was made up as an Orangutan if memory serves right... I had mentioned that show to another group memeber when he was trying to get a list of APES rarities put together... He had mentioned the Mike Douglas show, I said I didn't ever hear of that, but I remembered Phil's show...<.html

As he should, because it very much IS an "adult" film... It's as the series went on that they got "juvenile" in ways, but PLANET is lumped in with them, so it gets spit on too... PLANET is a masterpiece, people tend to forget that...<.html

The only sanctuary I know of for gibbons is in California, but I think they are endangered like the great apes because their habitats are being destroyed.

Yes, that's true, they are definitely endangered, which is too bad... Because when their habitats are being destroyed,not only are the gibbons losing their home but many other animals are their's too, not to mention all the trees and plant life, etc. that is lost... It's a mess...<.html

Yeah, it hurts me deep inside to see the subsequent sequels

turned into fodder for Saturday Matinees.  That's why I am the

most ardent advocate for an Adult Apes.  And it could be done

without turning it into Planet Of The Rapes or some X rated

version.  Though I wouldn't mind a good solid R rating on it.

Hi Melinda! Sorry to interrupt. Just wanted to say hi and tell you
it's good to hear your voice. Welcome to the PotaDG.

I never got the thing about Kevin Bacon. I checked IMDB and
realized I've only seen two of his movies: Balto (he was the voice
of Balto) and Apollo 13. Maybe that would make a difference?

"The Haunted Lighthouse"

It will be released on Mar 1, 2005, and I've saved it. Yeah, it was
lame, but I was "younger" and I would have loved to have adventures
out in space with that crew. (Except Smith, of course. He makes me

under the barn and in makeshift spaceships. Same thing.

Dear Michael Whitty,

You had expressed an interest in the domain name, lindaharrison.com

We are pleased to inform you that the price of this domain has been recently
reduced!

The original price was $2688.00 and it is now available for $2488.00.

Kim said that (at the premiere?) Zanuck told her if there was a sequel, she'd be in it.

Yeah, producers say a lot of things, most of it shite.

Let's look at the facts.  The film was shite. Kim knew it.

Even if it had been good I doubt you could pay her enough

to get back in make up.  Zanuck knew it was shite.  If he

didn't he's even thicker than I give him credit for.  Hell, he

helped make it shite.  If Burton didn't have the balls to

stand up to the studio suits, then Zanuch should have had

his back.   The film had no legs and tanked, and Kim died

a year later.  It wasn't meant to be, and it's for the best.

After she injured herself in that fall she was in now shape

to do the sequel.  And Fox was in no shape to make a

sequel of a movie that wasn't wildly successful.  And

the movie it's self though it was left open for one, want

up to snuff.  It'll take 'One Hell Of A Sequel' to pull that

turd out of the toilet!  But that's just like my opinion, man!
