I thought the guy in the second panel with Pete (aka Gorilla Vest) looked a little like he was drawn by Ploog, especially in the outstretched arm, but I'd be surprised if that was it. There's probably something much more obvious that I'm missing.

The "messenger" in the first panel looks like a Ploog drawing. Nice
backlighting in any case.

Virdon and Burke always avoided killing gorillas because they didn't
want to give Urko an excuse to wipe out the local humans. It appears
another human, possibly Mustapha, chose to take a chance that the
humans could defend themselves.

The gorillas always seemed overconfident, which was understandable
when the humans didn't offer any resistance. Their losses at the
hands of the human guerillas should have a demoralising effect on
them. I would even expect to see gorilla deserters.

Hi.

I am new to the group.

I believe the most critical place to start when you are writing PofTA
stories is the timeline (and whether or not the tv show and the
cartoon fits in with the movies).

I am seeking the opinion of others.

My own timeline begins with the birth of TAYLOR. Would anyone care to
guess the year in which he was born and why?

Chris

.html <.html

.html <.html

.html <.html

I have seen some of the pages and the art is good. Maybe the best
ape drawings I have seen next to the U.K annuals.

I am very sorry but I do not like the story. It is almost
infantile. It seems to have been written by someone who has not
written anything since the sixth grade.

Has this artist done any other comics prior to this one?

There is nothing to like about Battle for the Planet of the Apes.

Then again maybe the fact that it stopped there.

They should have stopped cheapening the films immediately and
Beneath the P of the A was evidence of this. It was garbage.

Then we got that "thing" Tim Burton made. I don't count that as
part of the ape movies.

My old man is one of the most intelligent people around.

 

His idea of a good movie is something completely mindless.

 

He reads 3-4 books a day.

 

He does bboks for enlightenment and movies for entertainment.

 

Now go read REVOLUTION!

Well, I'm just glad he's done some quality movies since then.

Sometimes you do what you have to to pay the bills.  The

student film I'm doing right now sucks, but I need the grade.

He didn't think Kelly's Heroes was any good.  And I can see

why, but I can't help but watch it every time it's on.  It's like

what Orson Wells said about televisions, I hate television

like I hate peanuts.  But I can't stop eating peanuts."

The characters are all wrong. The story has holes everywhere. It

but it does not carry the story I am sorry.

I was disappointed in the second half.

I accept that POTA had a liberal slant

it was more subtle than that.  Okay,

Beneath wasn't.  But Beneath's

Funny how Landon went along knowing that they would probably never come back (or if they did it would be to their great, great etc grandchildren...)

 

And to test the Hasslein Theory.

It's a thin plot device, and I hate

those.  But sometimes you just

have to go with that.  Ignore it.

Michael, did you notice that in one post your new critical, comic
script writting friend signed Chris and on another one he signs it
Rich. Someone is having at you my friend. I believe one of
the "Slpitter's" thinks they are funny. I know a guy who can take care
of this for you. What did you have plans for eternity? :)

Just for something completely different late last night I watched the
Planet 'trek across the desert' with the sound turned down so I could
just appreciate the images and it was well worth it. The way the
frames are composed are breathtaking, the way there is always just the
right balance of bright blue sky and dull coloured desert with the
blue of the sky really making the orange of the rocks stand out.

It's amazing how interesting some of those stark empty backgrounds
really are.
Who was mainly responsible for that sort of thing, was it the
director? the director of photography? the cameraman or probably a
combination of a few people?

The whole desert treck is just perfect.

Neil

I have been looking through the archives and I think it is obvious
from the lack of comments that everyone here hates the story. The
comments are only ever about the art and that is good.

You need to get someone else to write the scripts.

This brings up another good point.....Serling often had weak, flighty stories but I really love them all.

 

Planet of the Apes was certainly flawed in the story - they were testing the Hasslein Theory and with "3 Adams and 1 Eve" they were obviously there to re-populate, knowing well that they were likely many years in the future.....why are they shocked that the theory is right?

Yeah, the director and the DP work together on

shot composition.  It's funny you should mention

this.  Someone asked Shaffner why he was spending

so much time wondering around in the desert.  "Because",

ha said, "it sets the tone for the whole film."  I have to

agree with him.  Though I have skipped it before, it is an

important part of the movie, especially the first viewing.

I'm not trying to be cruel, but I was disappointed in the second

Neil's is more

True that, but it's the DP's job to get the look the directors want's.

Some directors just aren't hip to just how to achieve a certain

look.  That's why a good DP is the director's best friend.

He'll work with the Lighting Director and choose the

best film stock to achieve the look needed.  Just

look at the Godfather movies.  They have the

feel of an old faded portrait.  Or how in The

Aviator the film stock changes with each

decade to match the films from that

time period.  It can make or break.

That's great. But, until you show us something so wonderful with your
name on it I'll have to disagree with you. And I consider myself
somewhat an authority because I have been READING comics and scripts
for over 40 years.
Michael, pay no attention to these unsubstantiated comments and keep

Then get to work on reviving Lightsmith and Brutus and Malaquena and
Shaggy's people and the rest of the "Terror" cast.

He was doing a sketch about wacky cable channels and the last one was "Petty Arguments on the Planet of the Apes."  He then showed a clip from PLANET (the scene in Cornelius' Office) and had everyone dubbed.  I can't remember what the petty argument was. but it was mildly amusing, and also the dubbing was perfect.  When Dr. Zaius came in and looked at Taylor he says to him, "Don't look at me."

For some reason I could not get the pictures to open.

I joined another Planet of the Apes group recently and they have a
picture in their main page that has some ape heads cut out and
pasted over bush and the vice president and a title: Ape Of The
Nation.

I hope whatever you have sent a link to is not as stupid as that.

Why would anyone think that is funny? I don't mean to be critical
but I was hoping for more from Ape groups. I am thinking I might
start my own group if anyone is interested let me know please.
