the story is good it makes no difference.

He also said that he thought each of the Apes movies were good
enough stoy wise to stand on there own as individual movies (not
just Planet!) and he consistently also refers to the films as a
series.

Another interesting thing he has to say is that he wasn't offered
the role of Galen but had to ask the studio to allow him to be in
it, they didn't even originally consider him for the TV show!

He also categorically states that the make up for Caesar was exactly
the same as for Cornelius, same moulds etc. He said the different
look of the characters was due to the way he portrayed them, saying
that the anger he gave Caesar came through the makeups making the
characters look different. I thought that was very interesting as I
had always believed that the make ups were different myself.

Well, I'm pretty well aquainted with what Roddy McDowall said when he was alive and I don't agree with a lot of it.  He liked Galen best!  Please.

Dehn was a clever writer in that ESCAPE was a brilliant rescue after the debacle of BENEATH, but I think CONQUEST isn't as clever as it should be, often trite and even vulgar.  Dehn basically gave up with BATTLE, left, then can back and really didn't improve things.  So much for Dehn.

I do agree with McDowall on not getting hung up on the inconsistencies between the films and looking at each of them as separate entities.  This is how I've always regarded and although I play along in these groups with these kind of things, I personally couldn't give a rat's ass about them.  (I do care about the timeline question because I think PLANET should be free of its sequels.) Nothing is perfect and the fact is that it's a five film series of movies, not one movie cut into five parts.  This is why I really do find Patrick very silly and only give him a hard time for the fun of it.  (Hear that, Disrespector?!!!!)

I also believe, based on what I know of McDowall, that he wanted the role of Galen -- because he liked a regular pay check!  He probably figured the show would be a big hit and he could keep riding the APES bandwagon a few more years.  McDowall liked to work.

Also, McDowall is just plain wrong about the makeups.  His memory wasn't the best.  I can plainly see the sculpts aren't the same, and Jeff Krueger has quoted Bill Blake as saying they weren't the same.  As far as I'm concerned that's case closed.

I don't know about his memory but I do know in the interview he is
VERY adamant about it. He relates a tale of a reporter (I think)
telling him that the make up is different and it got to the stage
that Roddy was so annoyed with him for not believing they were the
same that he exploded angrily at him because of it (not the sort of
thing he usually did).
His memory may or may not have been bad (I don't know) but he seemed
very sure about this.

Like I said though, I have always thought the makeups were
different, definitely the hair.

because the role wasn't so serious as the others and Galen was such a
free spirit and more fun compared to the two 'C's.

Well, I really don't know if McDowall would be aware if the sculpts of the appliances were different or not.  I doubt he was around while the makeup artists made them.  For him, all apes probably looked alike.

One thing you have to remember about actors is that for the most part it's "just a job" for them.  They're not as into the final product as fans are.  I doubt Sean Connery knows much about the Bond movies he did, or even cares.

  Before they do the next "Batman", the same director (Chris Nolan), star (Christian Bale) and co-star (Michael Caine) are doing a drama together, I think about a magician.

  Overall, I think the top movies of 2005 were a great indication that the audience could handle darker movies and you don't have to talk down to them. "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter" each went to a more adult rating, "Batman" and "War of the Worlds" were dark. The top movies were sci-fi and sequels. And one of them was about an ape ("King Kong" didn't deliver what they hoped but it's still one of the top movies of the year). All good signposts for Fox to do a GOOD POTA. But it's Fox so forget about it. A bad indicator for the year was Fox did "Fantastic 4".  - - - Jeff

  "King Kong" and POTA are both about APES. You're not supposed to think when you're talking about studios. You have to slow down your brain. That's it, sloooooow. Like using a coloring book. Put a little blue there, maybe color the flowers red. That's it. Now you're thinking like a studio executive. - - - Jeff

I spoke with Neil last night and we have decided the next comic we do
will be interactive, and written by the entire group.

I'm fairly sure this will be in the "comic strip" format that WITHIN
was (well, most of it!) - but you MIGHT be able to convince him
otherwise.

The first question is - WHAT PART OF THE PLANET OF THE APES DO WE WANT
TO DEAL WITH?

Do we want to do something in the PLANET environment (as WITHIN was)?

Or maybe in the TV show or RETURN environment?

We'll discuss this and make a decision by Monday at the latest.

This is a unique opportunity so please chime in ASAP and begin to
discuss what you want from this project.

If KONG had been a (blockbuster) succes you would have seen a million movies with apes in them to cash in on the momentum.

 

It's kind of ironic, but people here, after seeing Kong

want to see the gorillas.  Unfortunately, for everyone,

except possibly the gorillas, while they are inside for

the winter, the Zoo is remodeling the gorillas habitat.

I like the page to the group thing, as I rarely have time to spend on the Yahoo sites.  Personally, I don't spend a lot of time on my computer at home.  I sit at one all day at work.  Coming home to do the same thing all evening is as crazy as one of you-know-who's "scenarios."

For some reason Alan maxwell has just left the group. I am still
waiting to here from him why he felt he needed to.
It is a great pity as I was going to ask him about when we can expect
to see the next issue of Simian Scrolls as I thought it should have
been out by now?

Maybe they have decided to call it a day, as Dave Ballard did seem to
hint at that a while ago when the last issue came out. I sincerely
hope they haven't given up on it.

Has it ever occurred to you people that by going to these movies you're only encouraging Fox to do more of the same?  You'll never get another APES movie that way.

Well I would.

I have a funny feeling most people find it too hard to access the comics so they rarely see them (unless we send the page to the group as we do with WITHIN).

I like the page to the group thing, as I rarely have time to spend on the Yahoo sites.  Personally, I don't spend a lot of time on my computer at home.  I sit at one all day at work.  Coming home to do the same thing all evening is as crazy as one of you-know-who's "scenarios."

-- As long as it features 'brains in jars' I don't mind. ;-)

Seriously though, a Return story sounds interesting and would present
unique challenges I think.

-- Thanks I felt I had to do something to commemorate becoming
the 'most posted' Apes group on the planet. If you think about how
many posts we have had in such a relatively short time it is nothing
short of phenomenal and all our members have done a wonderful job.

Thanks everyone!
