Hi all, I just wanted to let you all know that the Profiles in History
auction catalog is online. They have some amazing apes pieces in
there. An original Julius costume on a phenominal display and a
Beneath crucied Gorilla (double cool looking, I didn't know any of
these still existed!). It's worth taking a look at!

Mark

Thanks for this info! As a newbie, I didn't realize
you guys had separate groups for the fan fic and
photos. I really enjoyed reading through the fan fic
- I especially enjoyed the "Moderately Simian" story,
recognizing the names of people in the group helps ;-)
We need to get more photos in the photo group though!


Thanks again,
Barb

-- Barb we had to create these satellite groups as we constantly
seem to run out of space on the main group due to the amount of
posts, files, photos etc. that our members contribute to the group.
If we didn't constantly move stuff to the other groups we would have
to delete a lot of great things just to stay under our Yahoo limit!

As well as checking out all the great things on the main group I
would encourage all to check out these other sites, as like I said
over time we have relocated a lot of stuff to them. There are direct
links on the Home Page:
http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/PotaDG/ , to each of the sites.

Do you have a LINK for it?

<.html <.html

.html I always enjoy seeing references to PotA in other mediums and recently can across 2 more in my recent readings:

The first was in Philip K. Dick's "A scanner darkly". In this future story set in a narcotic influenced society, one of the characters says she wants to go to a drive-in to see a marathon of  the "Planet of the Apes" movie series.... all 11 of them!  She also goes on to say how she enjoys how the later movies recount how famous people in our past history were actually apes, including Lincoln and Nero. (The thought did cross my mind that the Lincoln reference may actually have been the inspiration for the cheesy 2001 Burton finale). 
FYI: "A scanner darkly" was written in 1977. (It's also currently being filmed starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder, but whether the above dialogue gets retained for the screenplay remains to be seen).

The other reference I found was in book "Godzilla on my mind" (2004, William Tsutsui). PotA is refered to as one of the first enduring SF movies series after of course the Godzilla series itself. There are a few other comparisions made.

Just a few PotA tidbits for a friday......

PS: Happy belated birthday Neil!

Revenge of the Apes (Games of the Century 2003) C
4/6/2003
This recently-resurrected old Fox prototype is technically impressive, but leaves something to be desired in terms of gameplay. Obviously inspired by Planet of the Apes, you control a man marooned on a planet crawling with apes. To escape, he'll need to navigate his way through numerous forest, river, village, desert, and cave screens to reach safety. The scenery is fairly chunky but the characters look good. In most screens, multiple apes approach from the left or right, and you shoot them for points. There are three types of apes: harmless chimps, fearsome orangutans, and gorillas that can shoot! I really like how your guy wades through the river with water up to his chest. Unfortunately, he can also get stuck in the scenery, which is frustrating. The scoring system is worthless, since you can just stay on one screen and shoot wave and wave of regenerating apes to pad your score. A better challenge is to see how many times you can escape before running out of life. While the gameplay is admittedly weak, several newly-added features make this game respectable. When captured, you're treated to a full-screen graphic of a man behind bars, and it looks terrific. There's also a Statue of Liberty ending which is equally impressive. You'll get a brief glimpse of the original ending, which looks pretty pathetic by comparison. And I can't forget to mention the incredible soundtrack. While the unconventional music sounds terribly rough and distorted at first, these unique, edgy tunes fit the game well and really grow on you. Overall, Revenge of the Apes is a mediocre game, but the notable enhancements make this a must-have for collectors. This game can be ordered from Atari Age.

.html.html From an interview with Kim Hunter in "Filmfax" magazine, No. 79, June 2000:

Question: In the third one, ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES, you had a baby chimp.  Was it difficult working with her?

Hunter: No, she was a darling, absolutely adorable, just wonderful to work with.  They had someone in my costume, etc., work with the chimp before I met her.  They gave me a cover-up thing under my costume, like cops wear in order to avoid bullets, so if the chimp wanted to bite me on the chest, she couldn't.  At one point, the substitute for me, in trying out working with the chimp, did get bitten; not seriously, fortunately. But I never had a problem with the baby chimp.  Once in a while, she could be like any little brat, off-screen.  But, on-screen, once the camera was rolling, the chimp was paying attention to the scene.  It was incredible; a natural born actor, truly.

One problem, she was scared to death of elephants.  And we had one elephant in the circus scene.  When see saw the elephant for the first time, she nearly squeezed my neck putting her arms around me, handing onto me, just scared to death.  After that, the director, Don Taylor, made sure the elephant was not where the chimp could see it when she was on-camera.

We did have another problem when I was on the ship, carrying the baby chimp and looking for Cornelius.  There are barriers between areas of a ship.  I stepped over that fine, but on the other side, the crew had left a bunch of lighting wires.  I tripped on the wires and fell face down.  I held the chimp up because I didn't want her to get hurt.  I got bruised, considerably.  The chimp didn't get bruised at all, but got scared.  The trainer came over immediately, to take the chimp away.  I said, "No, no! I'm the one who has to calm her down.  I'm the mom, here."  So I finally did calm her down.

The next time, they got the wires out of the way so I didn't have a problem.  Then, we were doing other running around bits in the interior of the ship.  And I was ducking under things, trying to get through.  I lost my balance, at one point, but I caught myself and didn't fall this time.  The chimp looked up at me as if to say, "Oh boy!  What have I got there?"  It was the funniest look I've ever seen in my life.<.html<.html

Thanks for asking, Neil. I actually posted to the other group this
morning but got distracted before I put it on here. As the day went
on, I got more news, so here goes...

Having a name has been a huge piece of this puzzle, so thanks again
to Greg P for zoning in on that piece and bringing it to my
attention!

New information has lead to the following scenario -- much of which
has been confirmed, much of which hasn't.

Kelly was privately owned by someone and "furnished" to the set by
Roy Kabat. There is information in Joe Russo's book "Planet of the
Apes Revisited" that she came from Europe. Kim talks in the book
about her cagemate who died of Hepatitis on the way.

Wally Swett from Primarily Primates was approached at one point by
her owner to take her, but he didn't have room at his sanctuary. He
referred the ower to Genus pan. I found out today that Kelley was
never one of their chimps. HOWEVER....

As it happens, the woman I was referred to about Genus Pan was going
through some old records when my letter arrived!! In those records,
she noticed the name "Kelly".

From her email: "However, strangely enough, I was going through old
files the day your inquiry arrived. There was a "Kelly" at the
Primate Institute in Oklahoma in 1981. At that time she was listed
as approx. 9 years old (the age could easily be off several years as
it was almost impossible to age a chimpanzee based upon the lack of
history that arrived with them)."

"That colony was disbanded in approx. 1982 and most of the
chimpanzees went to LEMSIP. That colony was also later disbanded
(maybe around 1996-7?) and most of the chimpanzees went to
sanctuaries in both the U.S. and Canada."

There is a chimp recorded at The ChimpanZoo database that seems to
support this "history".

The database has information on a female chimpanzee named Kelley
that roughly follows the life course Mr. Swett and Ms. Fritz
described. Kelley, stud # 0248 first shows up in the records in
1968; there is no information on her mother or father. It is
believed that Kelley was sent to the Houston Zoo in 1969 and then
transferred to the Detroit Zoo on February 25, 1972. Kelley then
spent a number of years in research institutions: Lemsep (2/3/76),
Southwest (9/10/79) and finally Bastrop (6/9/81). Kelley would be
about 37 now.

From Jo Fritz email: "I find it a bit difficult to think that the
Detroit Zoo sent a chimpanzee directly to LEMSIP. I was in touch
with the Director at that time, I think? Stefan Graham...and if he
could have sent a chimpanzee directly into research, it would have
been on a loan arrangement. Detroit should have more information on
that."

"I wish I could be of more assistance, but I am relying only upon
memory and the odd old file that I found."

We were thrown by the age discrepancy, as the chimp in the movie
would have to have been about two years older than has been
recorded and now there is a discrepancy in the age to date of the
Kelly/Kelley research chimp. The pictures that we were able to send
to Sarah Baeckler confirm that the chimp in the movie was actually
18 months to 2 years old -- meaning that the chimp didn't arrive
from Europe at 6 months old, as Kim's comments would have suggested.
That would put Kelley's age much closer to the age of the Bastrop
chimp. And, as Jo Fritz mentioned, there is little history that
travels with the chimps.

I have finally made a contact at Bastrop and I should be receiving
more information this week.

The bad news is that many chimps at Bastrop were used for AIDS
research. Although chimps proved to be poor models, those that were
infected with the virus have been kept in isolation since their
exposure years ago. If she was used as for this purpose, she would
never be given an opportunity for retirement, as she couldn't be
socialized with other chimps and would always need to be kept alone.

The good news is this... I have been referred to a doctor in charge
of psycho/social research. That is a really good sign because if
Kelley is being used in this way, it is probable that she has not
been used in AIDS research.

I don't really have any answers and until things can be all tied up
in a nice little bow, there are still a lot of gaps. I do know that
in 2002 a list was compiled of chimps at Bastrop and Kelley's name
was on the list. In 2005 that list was revised (unofficially) and
her name was not deleted.

I'm waiting further information -- hopefully this week -- and hope
to make contact with a couple ape trainers. Wish me luck.

Helen

I did mention this on the other list and, at the risk of annoying
some on the list, I'm thinking that it's good to pray for God's
animals, too, so if you are a praying person, I think it would be
good if you'd pray for Kelley. Thanks.

Yeah, that's probably it. But it does confuse things a bit.

I actually found a story about in a retro gamer magazine funny enough called Retro Gamer... comes out of England. The story was about the 20th Century Fox game library, this was one they showed as a didn't quite come out but you can still find it game!

 

I'll try to find the game ROM and put in the files for everyone to play.

A while back on eBay there was an original painting (Earl Norem) of
the Escape Coloring Book cover. I copied a picture of it, but can't
find the file anywhere. It's possible my 5-y-o deleted it. (She is
pretty good at that.) Did anyone else happen to get a copy of it?
Of course, the cool thing was that it didn't have any of the writing
on it yet. If I can't find it, I'll just borrow the cover that
Hunter has on his site.

Thanks.

Well, it's this silly Milo obsession...

Really though, my brother is going to help me set up a Finding Milo
Project website. I thought that would be cool to have on the site.
I just know that it has to be in this silly computer somewhere, but
I'm running at 98% capacity, and I've got files stuffed in
everywhere -- mostly pictures -- and to save space I've siphoned off
some stuff onto disk, and I'm durned if I can find it anywhere.
(That sentence just passed a Word spelling and grammar check, BTW --
except for durned which is a real word as fer as I kin tell.)

I'm betting it got deleted.

I have stuff that get's misfiled all the time, and without a file

That is exactly the picture! (It looks like I'm not the only one
that wanted that picture!) Thanks! I filed it in my Finding Milo

Someone asked to have the old Atari game (Michael?). I happened to
have them handy so I created a new folder in the files section
(Atari_POTA_and Emulator) and put both the game and the (Windows)
emulator there.

As previously warned, this is a VERY basic game so don't come in with
any expectations. I got bored after a few minutes playing this a few
months ago.

I don't remember the details of setting it up, but I suggest you
create a separate directory in which to install the emulator and then
just place the small (4Kb!) game file in the same directory.

Have fun.

BTW, I recently got the Gameboy advance (GBA) Planet of the Apes game
for my son and while it is not the best of games (compared to other
GBA games), it's quite cool. You can get the game for $2 or $3 bucks
on Ebay. (The GB player of course will cost a lot more. ;) )

Ron isn't embarrassed by POTA. He supports it all the time at
conventions. He just wishes it had better scripts. To be honest, Burton's
movie took a lot of the heat off. After that the TV show became a cherished
classic. Both Ron and Booth Colman thought POTA2001 was awful. But both men
seem to enjoy their POTA acknowledgement. It's their bread and butter at
appearances. - - - Jeff

Um, I think in their "Lidsville" commentary the Kroffts say they're ready
for their big revival. The LOTL movie is still on and they said they'll
update the FX but still keep the low-budget charm. It won't be "Jurassic
Park". Maybe I'll relisten to it. - - - Jeff

Let's face it.  As the care, money and production values dropped

after the first film, it became more of what they originally feared,

laughable.  When you're dealing with something incredible it

must be made as credible as possible, or even the best acting

in the world won't help, wether it's 2001 or a Star Trek movie.

Yeah, Lancelot Link!  Secret Chimp.

But seriously, a link to the new comic.

Yeah, in the "Lidsville" commentary the Krofft Bros. say they're still
planning a "Land of the Lost" movie and they'll use "the lowest of the
hi-tech". In that '98 book I mentioned, it said the LOTL movie was at Disney
($40 million budget), and they also want to do movies of "Puffinstuff",
"Sigmund & the Sea Monsters" and "Lidsville". Those sound right up Tim
Burton's alley. - - - Jeff

.html My only beef with the GBA game is that it has this silly 'save the password at the end of a level' thing.  I finished the first level the other day, but did not save the 'password' of course. (Arrrgh!)

Also, the PC version of the game (which is a completely different game despite the same graphic being used for GBA and PC versions) also lacks the ability to save at any time. (Arrrrgh!)

Based on the above, I have concluded the game designer have it in for PotA lovers...

This is hysterical, Jeff, and it's a great review. I only regret
that I have been so incredibly busy that I haven't been able to do
any more than scan the magazine. It's incredible the job they have
done and I'm looking forward to hiding somewhere so that I can read
it.

Need to take my hat off more often). "Sim Scro # 10" (I call
them "Sim Scro" because I can) is a mind-bender, page after page of
hard work, team work and leg work. Those who haven't been getting
these will live to regret it.
> One thing I like is they do theme issues. This time the theme
is "Escape". There's an article about the "lost" opening (but I
don't buy it; they got us once with the "lost" TV episodes, not THIS
time, "lost" stuff is too easy to fake now), the "Milo" comic book
story, John Fennessy's controversial take on "Escape" (Cornelius and
Zira as the villains of POTA) and even an interview with "Escape"
novelist Jerry Pournelle.

on Bill Blake brings back memories of Marvel # 12, which was
also "Escape"/Bill Blake themed. And in the Pournelle interview he
says he dedicated the novelization to the writers of the proto-POTA
novel "Genus Homo" (1950), which also gets an article in this issue.
> Then there's the centerpiece, a history of the Argentine comics
and their restoration by talented fans we know well. Also includes
interviews with the creators of these rare '70's comics courtesy of
the bilingual author, Rich Handley. Handley handily writes an
involving narrative of this almost lost POTA history.
> The layout of the magazine is supurb, the pictures and
illustrations are fantastic and the quality of the paper stock makes
it a "coffee table magazine" (as long as you don't drink coffee, you
wouldn't want to spill anything on it). Ha! I said "lay".
> Truly, "Simian Scrolls" are just as vital as "POTA
Revisited", "Behind the POTA" and the other recent gold we never
would have imagined. Thanks to John Roche, Dave Ballard, Alan
Maxwell Dave West and their collaborators for a new legacy that will

I have both the PC and PS versions,

And I have yet to get past the first gorilla.

I need a cheat that works!  Even the cheats

don't work on this game!  I'll need a game shark

if I'm ever going to see anything but the damned lab.

Isn't it funny how kids have no problem whatsoever
playing and winning video games, while us old fogies
have the hardest time? I remember back when I was
younger I was a lot better at that hand-eye
coordination thing! I guess the intermittent years of
disuse have killed those "gaming neurons" :) I guess,
too, that as adults, we have convinced ourselves that
we don't have time for such "childish" things, and
therefore won't commit the time and concentration it
takes to master them - too bad, I say! I think we're
missing out... responsibility sucks, but at least we
get to watch our kids enjoying themselves! :)
