that’s testimony to Planet being rather timeless, or could be as simple

It was one of the songs
from Wish You Were Here that Roger Waters performed.
The backdrop was an enormous radio, a
bottle of whiskey, 2 bottles of pills and an ashtray.
At first it looked like props but then
suddenly (for about 25 minutes before the concert) a huge hands starts changing
the radio station (whenever ABBA comes on!) and lighting smokes, taking pills,
drinking etc.
There was a remote astronaut floating
around (it was Dave, HAL spoke to him in the background).
WOW!

True many subjects have been chewed over thoroughly.
But newbies seldom check the archives before asking
about the subject in question. Yes there is damned
little ground that hasn't been well trodden.

As I mentioned the other day Michael, Here's the link to the book mark painting as it looks sat in the corner of the "forbidden Zone"
It stayed pretty much a tonal painting, you probably can just make out bits of colour being introduced, in the past, before Satan tempted me with a box full of endless flashy lights and pixels (PC) I'd have
slowly built up the colour with thin layers of transparent colour going over each layer but allowing the previous one to show through.

Just so you can compare here's the finished one again.

It
seems the better they are, the less likely it is that they last!
The Wire is a good cop show and I’m
enjoying Friday Night Lights and Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip too.
Heroes is great, House is brilliant.
Veronica Mars is awesome but a few
episodes this season were dull.
Family Guy, American Dad and The Simpsons
rounds them off.

===============================================================
*** Talk about an acausal connection, I was just listening to some
old (Roger Waters era) Pink Floyd recently, especially their final
album together ("The Final Cut"), an underrated masterpiece. Also
Waters' first solo album, "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" -- the
American version of the album cover has a ridiculous black bar
covering the naked hitchhiker chick's buttocks. Goddamn, America is
so puritanical it makes my scrotum itch. I like how Roger sings the
lyric (in the 1st song on "Pros and Cons") that goes:
"... Two hitchhikers slumped in the back seat
I sneaked a quick look in the mirror
She gave me a smile
I said "Is anyone HUNGRY?... Should we stop for a while?"
The way he goes from a soft voice through most of that and then sings
the word "HUNGRY" in a deep growl -- you can just imagine him,
driving his car, lusting after the chick hitchhiker. Anybody else dig
that album?
Remember in the film version of "Pink Floyd THE WALL" right before
the 'trial' scene, where Bob Geldof is sitting in a toilet stall
singing to himself? He sings short bits from two songs that AREN'T on
the album of "The Wall" -- the 1st one from "THE FINAL CUT"
song "Your Possible Pasts"...
"Do you remember me? How we used to be? Do you think we should be
closer... closer... closer..."
... and the 2nd one from the last track on "Pros and Cons", "The
Moment of Clarity"...
"And I put out my hand just to touch your soft hair
To make sure in the darkness that you were still there
And I have to admit that I was just a little afraid..."
Geldof sings a few other verses just after this that, for the life of
me, I don't know where they came from (probably from another solo
album of Roger Waters), and then the black security guard opens the
toilet stall door and it seques into "The Trial" in all its animated
glory.
Not that this has anything to do with POTA, except that the cover of
Roger Waters' album "AMUSED TO DEATH" has a chimp on it...
Patrick
P.S. Hey Mike, who played guitar on that "Dark Side" concert? It was
a Roger Waters concert, right? And not a Pink Floyd concert? So David
Gilmore wasn't doing the honors on the guitar, I'd imagine. I know
that they got back together not too long ago in order to do
that "LIVE 8" concert -- as in the G8 summit awareness-raising
concert that had a distinctively anti-Dubya slant to it. But I
haven't heard anything about an on-going Floyd reunion. That reminds
me about how VAN HALEN has David Lee Roth back, but with Eddie's kid
Wolfgang on bass instead of Michael Anthony, who seems on-the-outs
with the Van Halen brothers. Weird. <.html

*** I have a copy. Haven't read it all, though; just the POTA stuff. I
seem to remember that he mentioned somewhere in it that when he saw the
finished version of "BENEATH" that it turned out better than he'd
thought it would. Not that he considered it better than "PLANET" of
course, though Maurice Evans seems to have thought that.

In other words, "A little less conversation, a little more action,"
right?
The fact that prostitution is legal in certain areas of Nevada, now...
that wouldn't have anything to do with your little excursion, would it?

*** Remember when Lucius told Julius that "the Anti-Vivisection
Society is up-in-arms... they're gonna save that beast from those
butchers in the lab" etc.?
Of course, he was saying all that as part of a plot to get Julius
konked on the noggin, so as to spring Taylor from his cell. But it
wouldn't surprise me if there WERE such a society of "bleeding heart"
apes -- probably chimpanzees -- who were against the practise of
vivisection. The "animal rights" activists of our world are against
surgical experimentation on animals -- especially on apes. It makes
sense that the simian society -- a satirical version of our own --
would have this element in it.
Does anybody else think it's strange that Julius doesn't recognize
Lucius as being Zira's nephew? You'd think that there would've been
at least a few times during Zira's workday that her nephew would've
visited her at her lab, if for no other reason than to give her some
message or other. But Julius doesn't register any kind of awareness
as to Lucius' identity. Strange.
I would say that there WERE apes (other than Zira and Cornelius) who
were sympathetic to the plight of humans in general, as well as of
Taylor in specific. Remember when Zaius mentions that
Taylor's "friends and simian sponsors" are out on bail? Well, SOMEone
had to have posted their bail. Somebody sympathetic to their legal
plight. The whole point of having that "hearing" was because the
Establishment was in a pickle: this Talking Human had upset the
applecart in such a way that the Academy had to find a way to defuse
the "bomb"... to "dispose" of Taylor in such a way that the public
would be able to sweep their memory of him under the rug... the
memory of him bellowing out "GET YOUR STINKING PAWS OFF ME, YOU DAMN
DIRTY APE!"
They have to resort to having Honorius make the ludicrous charge that
Zira and Dr. Galen surgically "experimented on this wounded animal...
tampering with his brain and throat tissues, to produce a speaking
monster!" Otherwise, how the hell do they explain Taylor's ability to
speak to the Masses? They CAN'T. And they KNOW their explanation is a
bogus one... but they're more concerned with keeping the Status Quo
rather than going on a quest for Scientific Truth.
There HAD to have been a large enough contingent of apes -- probably
mostly chimps -- who were so shaken by the fact that they heard a
human TALK... that the orangutan rulers of their society had to go to
those extreme lengths to put the genie back in the bottle and bury
the bottle where nobody would ever find it again. Otherwise, they
could just kill Taylor, make Cornelius and Zira "disappear"
conveniently, and be done with it.

*** It's probably easier to tap the energy in the oceans' temperature
differential. Surface water is warmer than water nearer to the bottom
of the ocean; an "OTEC" (or, Oceanic Thermal Energy Converter) is a
device designed to make use of the fact that the difference in
temperature of water as a function of depth can produce Work. In
other words, Energy. A dude named Marshall Savage wrote a book in the
early 1990's (I think it was) called "THE MILLENNIAL PROJECT" in
which he proposed the construction of floating cities that could
produce all their energy needs with OTECs, as the first stage in a
long-term plan to colonize Earth... the Moon... Mars... the Solar
System... and, ultimately, the entire Galaxy.
Also, in the movie version of "LOGAN'S RUN" the futuristic City got
its power from the tides, which is why it was built on the eastern
coast of America, due east of Washington D.C. When Logan and Jessica
re-enter the City, they have to swim through an area which gets them
to the Power Center.
I would suggest that the City gets its power not only from the tides,
but also from Solar -- the domes covering the City could easily be
designed to absorb solar radiation the way solar panels do.
To tie this in to POTA, remember how Burke -- in "THE TRAP" --
mentions the fact that the BART station he and Urko are in has still-
working LIGHTS... probably due to the fact that solar energy
converters are probably on the roof of the structure? If not for
that, Burke couldn't have given Urko that electric shock to taser him
into unconsciousness. Lucky for him!

-- There
is another great way to help the planet but you can bet governments and
their 'buddies' won't be in it - the use of hemp:
'The many benefits of Hemp include, but are not
limited, to the following : Hemp utilizes the sun more efficiently than
virtually any other plant on the planet, reaching 10-20 feet or more in a single
short growing season. It can even be grown in almost any climate or soil
condition on Earth. Hemp is softer than cotton, warmer than cotton, more water
absorbent than cotton, has three times the tensile strength of cotton and many
times more durable. 50% of all chemicals used in American agriculture today are
used on cotton and Hemp requires no chemicals or pesticides to grow.
Cannabis makes the very best Canvas paper for Art.
For centuries, most all of the world's great art used Cannabis Paper. The Dutch
word for CANNABIS is CANVAS. Hemp seed oil makes the best oil for paints and
varnishes. Up until about 1800, Hemp seed oil was the most consumed lighting oil
in America and the world. Hemp is a fuel source. Hemp is the fastest growing
biomass source on Earth. Biomass can be converted to methane, methanol or
gasoline at a fraction of the cost of oil, coal or nuclear energy. Instead of
using fossil fuels, which have been in the Earth for millions of years and
pollute the planet while removing it and shipping it around the world, we could
be "HARVESTING OXYGEN" by growing a plant source which produces oxygen while it
is growing, then when we burn it and produce carbon dioxide, the cycle is
balanced.
As a medicine, Cannabis has been used for centuries
and continues to be used today for all kinds of ailments including: stress,
rheumatism, asthma, delirium tremens, migraine headaches, pms cramps, glaucoma,
nausea, tumours, and anorexia. Cannabis / Hemp / Marijuana seeds are the highest
source of complete vegetable protein on the entire planet. Soybeans contain a
higher percentage of protein but the composition of the protein in Hemp allows
more of it to be used by the body. 65 % of the protein in Hemp seeds is in the
form of globulin edestin. The high edestin content combined with albumin,
another globular protein contained in all seeds means the readily available
protein in Hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids in ideal proportions
to assure your body has the necessary building blocks to create proteins like
disease fighting immunoglobulin--antibodies whose job is to ward off infections
before the symptoms of sickness set in. Hemp seeds are also the highest known
source of Essential Fatty Acids. Essential, meaning (We Couldn't Live Without
Them). These Linoleic and Linolenic acids are responsible for the lustre in your
skin and hair. They also clear the arteries and rebuild the immune system.
Plastic Plumbing Pipe (PVC) can be manufactured
using renewable Hemp cellulose as the chemical feedstock, replacing
non-renewable petroleum based chemical feedstock.
The seed oil is a machine grade quality lubricant
and can be used to run engines and replace petro-oils
completely.'

album together ("The Final Cut"), an underrated masterpiece. Also
Waters' first solo album, "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" -- the
American version of the album cover has a ridiculous black bar
covering the naked hitchhiker chick's buttocks. Goddamn, America is
so puritanical it makes my scrotum itch.

*** I agree. Did you see the 1-hour VH1 special (part
of their "Classic Albums" series) on the making of
"DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" by any chance? One of the
mysteries about that album was cleared up for me:
Roger went around with a tape recorder, asking people
if they had ever committed an act of violence against
anybody, and asking them if they were justified in
doing so. When you hear a male voice saying, "I
certainly was in the right" it's his answer to that
question. I always wondered what that background
muttering was all about!

-- Now you're the
one making assumptions (and a tad too sarcastically IMHO.) Who's to say back
then they were even planning to have deserts featured in the movie at
all? If they were still working from a script or idea that was closer to
Boulle's novel they wouldn't have needed a desert at all.
And like I said, I
could still point you to areas in England that could have been used which don't
look Earth like and which aren't trackless deserts.

(Passages marked with * were added later by Mr.
Heston)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1967:
January 25. Meantime, I've read seventy pages of
Michael Wilson's new script on APES, which seems to me immensely good, an
improvement on the Rod Serling script.
March 6. I found Fox is assigning Leon Shamroy as
cameraman on APES, while Universal is taking Ralph Nelson off the editing of
COUNTERPOINT. Both moves seem to be errors. I called Herman and made loud noises
about it. * I was wrong about Leon. Though he’d been very slow on AGONY AND
THE ECSTASY, taking much more than the camera's share of each working day, he
shot APES with great creativity and efficiency.
April 16. I also spent some time musing how to
get a better script on APES. Arthur Jacobs is so difficult and slippery a
character to deal with, I hardly know
where to begin. The work must be done though.
April 17. APES is now up in the air. Eddie
Robinson feels very claustrophobic about the ape makeup... we may move to
Maurice Evans. (* we did.) Julie Harris is anxious about the same thing; Kim
Hunter will do it. The casting problem's really Nova: who will do it, and how
naked can she be. The tests I saw were not good. There's also a problem on how
to clothe the astronauts after their capture, to make them blend in with the
subhumans. * Logically, since the subhumans in the story were animals, they
should have been naked. This was not a feasible option in 1967 and would be a
distracting choice even now. We finally arrived at some bark loin cloths that
did well enough.
April 28. Fox, in a panic over the projected cost
of APES (brought on in part by their decision to shoot here instead of
overseas), has now decided to bring the budget down a bit. On paper, at least.
By cutting the shooting days from fifty-five to forty-five, they seem to save a
great deal of money, but the film can't be shot in that time. I wanted Citron to
do battle on this, but he counseled against it, as out of my
province.
May 16. I think Frank's new ending on APES is
very good... Taylor doesn't die, now; he finds the Statue of Liberty, and knows
where he is. Fade-out.
May 21. Page, Arizona: Begin PLANET OF THE APES.
I've never understood why the first day of shooting on a film, no matter how
good the crew is nor how well-organized the schedule, never goes well. We were
more than half an hour late starting this morning because the beards weren't
sent up for the other astronauts, who of course haven't had time to grow their
own. They weren't well applied when they did come; our makeup man could be
stronger, also quicker. The heat is bad here. One of the other two actors
playing astronauts passed out from the heat.
May 28 (Sunday), Los Angeles/Page. So now I'm
back at work, with another week ahead of me. It's a short location, but it seems
long just now.
May 31. We had a fantastic day's work, in
consistently good light, catching up what we missed yesterday, finishing off the
apes on the location, which is a blessing. The makeups are only just bearable
for them, and the more days off they can get the better they'll be. I'm
impressed how well Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter act in the makeup; you can
actually read emotion through those animal faces.
June 7. The usual problems attendant on moving
back on stage from a location. The prop truck isn't back yet, the crew has to
shake down. In addition, the makeups are so rough for the apes, their calls are
so bloody early, that we've decided to start at ten in the morning and finish at
seven in the evening. Personally, I'm not delighted with this plan, but it make
sense overall. I was unconscious through most of the scene today and thus had
little to contribute, but Frank shot it well.
June 13. Today was really a horrible day. I'd
caught a cold, something I almost never do while working. I felt lousy when I
came to work, and worse every time that damn fire hose hit me, topped off when I
had to scream the last speech of the sequence, dripping and hose-battered. The
hoarse rasp I was able to produce is really ideal; this is the first scene where
we hear Taylor speak after his throat wound. Frank's staging was very telling.
The cage stuff looks good in dailies, the ragged blanket's appropriately ratty
and unheroic.
June 14. We had a very physical scene today,
cleaning up the escape followed by Maurice Evans's first appearance as Zaius.
His orangutan makeup is excellent, and he is learning how to use
it.

I don't think it's weird at all... I mean why would she have sent someone in that "would" be recognized? That doesn't make any sense... The whole escape plot was supposed to be kept under wraps,
so why start it off by having a familiar face be the one sent in to break Taylor out?
And besides, how often does your nephew visit you at work? If it's like most any other work places, visitors (even relatives) are frowned upon... Why would the apes be any differnt with that?

*** I agree. Did you see the 1-hour VH1 special (part
of their "Classic Albums" series) on the making of
"DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" by any chance? One of the
mysteries about that album was cleared up for me:
Roger went around with a tape recorder, asking people
if they had ever committed an act of violence against
anybody, and asking them if they were justified in
doing so. When you hear a male voice saying, "I
certainly was in the right" it's his answer to that
question. I always wondered what that background
muttering was all about!

I think it's a great tool particularly as it can "ape" certain ways of painting if approached in the right way... but in comics they sort of do a "supped" (is that even a
word?) version of their old way of colouring.
There's no reason now to still have a black line, which really only evolved because the printing was so bad.
I don't know if any one has seen the work of Alex Malvee, he's sort of working towards a paintly style where all those old divisions of penciler, inker, colourist has sort of dissolved.
Here's one of his panels.

If it was me I'd have got rid of more of the black contour lines ...
but it's interesting work.

quickly using a location I have been to a couple of times myself,
Mount 'old man' Coniston in the Lake District, here are a few pictures I quickly

.htmlNot only that, but Australia has already proven to be a marvel of
animal evolution so talking apes would fit right in.
Neil, while I've always realized England could have been used as a
location for POTA filming, I never realized how vaste and desolate it
could be until I saw those pics you posted. One of the pics even had a
river running through it in the backgroud that would have been needed
for POTA. Thanks.
I also wanted to add a bit about Heston's boigraphy. I do have it and
have read the POTA parts, but I wanted to mention to those that don't
have it that there is in fact very little (relatively speaking) about
POTA in it. I thought that there would be more. I would not categorize
this as a "must have" collector item. Especially now that Neil was
smart enough to figure out that it makes ideal for POTADG fodder.
I'm not going to say that Heston was a great man, but in all fairness
it should be pointed out that whatever is in those journals was
originally intended to be a personal diary and that is why we get to
read about some blunt assessments of people he worked with. The
positive side is that these are probably brutally honest opinions of
his that we would not have known otherwise. The flip side is that he
becomes exposed by their revelations. So what would have been better?
Keep it all to himself, or publish his memoirs as he did?

(Passages marked with * were added later by Mr.
Heston)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 15. We moved faster today than we have
been... perhaps because we're finished in the cages, which made an extremely
difficult set to shoot. I had a meeting with Dick Zanuck and Frank on whether or
not to make a script point of the fact that the apes speak English. To me, it's
patently obvious we should ignore this. English is the lingua franca of film,
which is reason enough to use it, but it seemed to require a meeting to arrive
at this conclusion. This film begins to shape up well. It may not be great; I
don't see how it can avoid being successful. I seldom say this... let's see if
I'm right.
June 16. The main thing we have going for us on
this film is that the damn thing's interesting. On top of this I like Frank's
ideas about the scenes; I think Maurice, Roddy and Kim are excellent. Linda H.
has problems, but Frank's keeping her nearly immobile in her scenes, which
works.
June 19. We began the trial scene today. If this
comes off, we'll have something special. I said to Frank, "I thought from the
beginning we'd have a hit, but we may have a helluva picture, too." Frank's
thought of several telling touches to underline the dehumanizing of Taylor:
stripping him in court, for one. It's the first time I've ever done a nude
scene, even photographed from the rear.
June 20. What with shooting all day, negotiating
all night (for the Screen Actors Guild) I'm beginning to bend a little. The
pressure of the scene, the problems of makeup calls for the other actors all
combine for a helluva working day for me. We have, thank God, some first-class
people with us. Jim Whitmore, Jim Daly, and of course Maurice, are well worth
much more than their salaries. Whitmore, particularly, makes a frightening
orangutan. (I don't know how complimentary he would consider that
observation.)
June 21. The first day of summer was a bitch for
me. The trial scene involves, as so many parts seem to, another manhandling (or
ape-handling, in this case). It hurts after ten takes. They're trying to think
of a different way of tying me up from those used in TEN COMMANDMENTS, BEN-HUR,
etc., etc., etc.
June 29, Fox Ranch. I spent the entire day
pattering barefoot (barefoot!?, bare ass, for God's sake!) through the
undergrowth, picking up more than a touch, I fear, of poison oak; it was
luxuriating on every hand. A chase sequence is always easy to act, no matter how
complicated it may be shot. The fugitive syndrome must lie very near the surface
in all of us, ready to burst into the open, panic-stricken.
July 6. A helluva long day, in the course of
which I was finally brought to earth as Taylor. Having evaded clubs, whips,
horsemen, crowds, they tripped me ass over tea kettle into a thrown net and
hoisted me high. It should make a damn good sequence; shooting it took about all
the stamina I was relieved to discover I can still muster. It's surprising the
perspective an experience like this gives you. Upside down in a net, a man isn't
worth much.
July 17. Our best effort failed to finish the
hunt sequence today, though I was successfully shot through the throat before
the day was done. We have less than a day's work left out there, but we'll have
to leave it and go into the studio Tuesday.
July 18. We're back on the sound stages again.
After the Fox ranch, this is luxury. Included in the cast today (as the long
dead Stewart) was an eighty-year old woman who played what must surely be the
only role in the history of the drama as an octogenarian lady astronaut. The
dialog between the casting director and the agents on this one must have been
marvelous.
July 19. Another long day sloshing around inside
that space capsule, gargling my lines through torrents of water spraying in from
off camera. It occurs to me that there's hardly been a scene in this bloody film
in which I've not been dragged, choked, netted, chased, doused, whipped, poked,
shot, gagged, stoned, leaped on, or generally mistreated. As Joe Canutt said,
setting up one of the fight shots, "You know Chuck, I can remember when we used
to win these things."
August 3. The fog didn't creep in on little cat
feet; it squatted sullenly on the sand all morning. Not a camera turned till
after lunch. Frank still got most of what he planned, though Mort Abrahams drove
out for an inconclusive discussion on what I should say in the final speech,
looking at the ruined Statue of Liberty. Fox wants to shoot three versions,
giving them all possible choices. I obviously prefer to shoot only the speech I
wrote, since this is my only chance to put muscle behind the choice. Besides
it's the best. I can't believe the Code still forbids the use of "God damn you!"
It's surely acceptable in the context of this speech; Taylor is literally
calling on God to damn the destroyers of civilization. * It did make a good
scene, and the line was right. We only shot one version.
August 10. The last day of shooting on PLANET OF
THE APES. An ideal kind of scene for any actor... everybody else lay mute and
motionless while I had all the words. More than three minutes of them, for that
matter, and they were pretty well worked out, too, after the usual intense
effort with a red pencil. We did two different masters on it, then the usual
coverage. I think it's good. I think the picture will be, too. It'll certainly
be different. If the social comment comes off as well as the wild adventure, we
may get some attention.

Also newly available on Hunter's site is an article from the April 1968 issue of Screenguide Magazine. Courtest of John Roche and Dave Ballard. Thanks, Greg

The eagle is sitting in
my hand.
instead of flying HIGH above the land
Well, ¼ of an
eagle! And that was 150! AHHH!!!!
would have been MORE
but I ran him down with my
car
VERY pricey at the
moment.
but
certainly worth the BIG
fine
Do you want the
lot?
depends on what you've got
What other
DVDs?
any that don't show me on my KNEES
Yeah I've heard
that one. Good band those Acid Pilots, weird but good!

I'm just having you on.
Sorry about the bad week.
I recommend seeing Dick Dale play guitar.
That's what I did, and I feel much better.
