Subject: [PotaDG] (OT) Goldsmith DVD news!

Check out this news from the Jerry Goldsmith website about the Fox films THE SAND PEBBLES and VON RYAN'S EXPRESS:

http://www.jerrygol dsmithonline. com/news. htm

This makes me very hopeful for contents of a future DVD release of POTA.

Also, check out the changing pictures on that news page to see Goldsmith wearing a gorilla mask while he's recording POTA's score!

Subject: [PotaDG] Re: Part 2 of the POTA Audio Drama ready for download

Well, let me clarify my position regarding the non-feasibility of a
POTA-LOGAN'S RUN crossover and the Dogs & Cats conundrum.

In order to explain how it is that all the dogs and cats "on Earth"
(as Armando tells Caesar) could be dead AND how there could be at
least two dogs living in the area where the Fugitives land (Arno's
dog and that other mutt briefly seen when the trio were approaching
the ruins of the San Francisco area), I worked out a scenario that
also took into account the existence of a group of "Scientists"
(from "The Legacy") who had had some kind of forewarning about the
impending Nuke War and took pains to plan ahead.

They buried those Vaults in various cities, and hermetically sealed a
number of holographic projectors in nearby areas so as to point the
way to those Vaults.

And -- in my scenario -- a group of these Scientists made sure that
they were in an orbiting science station, situated at the L5 position
of the Earth-Moon system, when the nukes started flyin'.

As to whether or not they had LIVING dogs and cats up there with them
in that L5 station, that doesn't really matter. What matters is that
they could just as easily have sample DNA from various breeds of dog
and cat -- a genome database, in other words.

From such a genome database, a more advanced group of Scientists --
their descendants living in the 25th Century or later, in other
words -- could bring back those long-dead species the same way that
Michael Crichton's scientists brought back once-extinct dinosaurs
in "JURASSIC PARK".

In my scenario, I have certain characters who leave Earth on an
interstellar mission from their "New America" -- the pole-shifted
island continent that was once named 'Australia' -- who return to
Earth in 3073... only to find that something bad has happened, not
only to their "New America" but to the rest of the world.

Thus, in MY scenario, the astronauts who had landed "more than ten
years ago" (from the perspective of Zaius and Urko in 3085) were from
another time period -- but NOT from the United States of America
circa the end of the 20th Century. Rather, they were New American
astronauts who left Earth circa 2500 and returned some 573 years of
EARTH-TIME later.

I'm not gonna go into all the details of this storyline, but suffice
to say that the science which enabled those few dogs to exist in
Galen's time -- in MY scenario -- derives from that remnant of
American scientists whose ancestors left those Vaults in Oakland and
elsewhere AND who re-colonized the island continent of Australia,
renaming it after their homeland ("New America") due, in part, to the
fact that a pole-shifted Australia wouldn't necessarily be wholly in
the southern hemisphere anymore; it ends up straddling the Equator.
Since the name "Australia" means "southland" (from the
Latin "australis") , it makes sense to those colonist-scientists to
give the place a new name. Colonists have always done so, naming
places like New Amsterdam, New York, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, New
England, etc etc.

Thus, when my New American astronaut characters get back to Earth in
3073 only to find things have gone bad, they will take with them from
New America to "old" America some surviving dogs that were on the
verge of becoming feral -- dogs that came to exist because on New
America scientists sought to bring back certain extinct species in a
JURASSIC PARK-kind of way. One dog -- back in 3073, just a puppy --
later becomes the personal pet of Prefect Veska's toddler son, Arno.
The human who gave that puppy to a certain chimp also told him that
the creature was called "Dog"... which is the name Arno calls it.
Arno didn't call his dog "Fido" or "Benji" or some such name -- or
even any 'ape' name, so to speak. He calls it "Dog". For all he
knows, it's the ONLY such tame animal in existence. He doesn't know
that calling it "Dog" would be like calling a human 'pet' "Man".

Yeah, it's a long and convoluted way to explain the aggravating
presence of a dog in the TV pilot episode (etc), but it also takes
into account other info from the TV series -- those Scientists
from "THE LEGACY" for instance. For what it's worth, I wish that the
POTA series had NOT included Arno's damn dog -- it would've been far
easier for me to reconcile the TV series with the movies that way!
But, what the f***!

As to this idea of cross-overing POTA and LOGAN'S RUN, though, well
I'll admit that the dogs & cats thing doesn't completely rule it out:
if I can unflub Arno's dog for the sake of an all-POTA scenario, then
that makes it possible to introduce living cats for the Old Man
played by Peter Ustinov in LOGAN'S RUN. Sure.

But I've also addressed another problem that I think completely rules
out any connection between the two concepts. In POTA there is a
NUCLEAR WAR that wipes out Man's civilization -- and which gives the
apes their justification to dominate Mankind in the harsh manner we
see in the films and episodes.

But in LOGAN'S RUN (the MGM film, that is), there cannot have been a
NUCLEAR war. Oh, there may have been all sorts of conventional wars
in the 21st Century leading up to the building of the City and all
that. But when Logan and Jessica get to the ruins of Washington D.C.,
they find WOODEN houses... BOOKS and PAINTINGS in the Capitol
Building... in other words: FLAMMABLE materials that had to have been
there during the POTA nuclear war. It is absolutely inconceivable to
me that Washington D.C. would've been spared as a nuke target in the
POTA scenario; and IF it had been nuked -- even by just one single
ten kiloton nuke -- then all those flammable materials would've been
ignited, flaming into ash.

I also see no evidence of a nuke blastwave in the ruins of Washington
we see in LOGAN'S RUN. Sure, those heavy masonry-built structures
might survive a nuke, but the wooden houses Logan, Jessica and the
Old Man pass by on their trip from D.C. to the domed City would've
been FLATTENED, blown apart by the blastwave of a nuke.

Another thing: in the ruins of New York City and its environs, the
nukes that had devasted that part of America had rendered the soil
poisonous. A blasted, lifeless wasteland. Yet in LOGAN'S RUN, the
ruins of Washington D.C. are overgrown with lush vegetation, with
vines having crawled their way up and around the Lincoln Memorial,
the Capitol Building, etc. And this, by the year 2274, a mere 256
years after 2018 (when BATTLE takes place, 27 years after CONQUEST).
Yet in the 3900's the NYC region is still a lifeless desert. Is it
reasonable that Washington could recuperate from exposure to nuke
radiation so soon, yet New York City could not?

Well, I don't think so. And I think that rules out the possibility of
any crossover between POTA and LOGAN'S RUN.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

*** You mean, two parallel universes? How, then, could there even BE
a crossover unless people from one of those parallel universes did
a "Sliders" and scooted on over to the other universe parallel to
theirs?

Hmmm... well, I suppose. The 3rd "LOGAN" novel ["LOGAN'S SEARCH", by
William F. Nolan] involved aliens abducting Logan and taking him to a
parallel universe AND back in time to the same timeframe that the
original novel takes place -- a parallel universe which is ALMOST
exactly the same as the one he'd lived in. As much as I absolutely
LOVE the original "LOGAN'S RUN" novel (and really like the first
sequel to it, "LOGAN'S WORLD"), I must admit that "LOGAN'S SEARCH"
isn't anywhere near as good as those other two books. But, since
Nolan's "LOGAN" novels introduce the idea of jumping over into a
parallel universe, I don't see why a similar thing couldn't happen to
the MGM movie version of Logan -- have him (either alone or with
Jessica) somehow transport over into the POTA universe and have an
adventure there. In the MGM movie, Logan first meets Jessica when she
teleports into his apartment (the "Circuit" gizmo); maybe they could
do a thing where Logan (and Jessica?) experience a teleporter
accident that -- like Kirk & Co. in the "MIRROR, MIRROR" episode
of "STAR TREK" -- jumps 'em into a parallel universe... where
intelligent apes speak, ride horses, and live in a precarious 'peace'
with the humans.

One COULD cook up such a crossover story, I guess. And, who knows?
Maybe it'd be a good one. But I'm not all that much of a fan of doing
crossovers in the first place. I didn't dig the "APE NATION"
crossover of POTA and ALIEN NATION back when that came out -- maybe
cuz I hated the latter movie almost as much as I love the former one!
The whole notion of WATER -- the universal solvent -- being acidic to
an alien creature's biochemistry just makes me roll my eyes at what
was supposed to pass for movie science fiction back in the 1980's and
90's. What about the water vapor in the goddamned AIR, you bonehead
screenwriter??? Wouldn't THAT at the very LEAST give Mandy Patinkin's
character a friggin' rash?

Everything I hate about that inane pseudo-SF concept was
embarrassingly regurgitated in that godawful M. Night Shyamalan piece-
of-shit "SIGNS" (starring Mel "Jew-Hater" Gibson). Remember THAT
crappy film? Mel's character loses his faith when his dear wife is
killed in a car accident that GOD HIMSELF caused -- just so that
before she croaked, she could mumble some nonsensical twaddle that
also happened to be divinely inspired and of prophetic importance
when those evil aliens with the dreaded Wrist Gas show up! It seems
that God's "mysterious ways" include making Mel's son asthmatic -- so
he won't be able to breathe in that evil Wrist Gas... get it??? And,
the other kid has this goofy phobia about drinking a full glass of
water, prompting him or her (I forget the kid's gender) to leave
nearly-full glasses of water all around the place... JUST so that
Mel's brother -- a guy who wasn't quite good enough to be a pro
baseball player -- could use his baseball bat to go apeshit in the
nick of time... dousing those evil aliens with their farting wrists
with the water that somehow is toxic to them! Yes, yes... the Lord
works in mysterious ways... He causes the death of Mel's wife
(MURDER!), yada yada yada, ALL so that those evil aliens can be
defeated in this bizarre fashion and Mel's character can regain his
faith in Divine Providence.

AND ALL 'GOD' HAD TO DO TO COMBAT THOSE ALIENS WAS MAKE IT FUCKING
RAIN!!! But NOOOOOO! Shyamalan's 'god' had to concoct a Rube
Goldbergian plotline of events just to do what one fucking rainshower
could've accomplished.

The same stupid -- and scientifically IMPOSSIBLE -- notion... the
supposed toxicity of fucking WATER... I hated it when "ALIEN NATION"
proposed it, and I laughed derisively when "SIGNS" followed suit.
Ugh. And some idiot thought it'd be a good idea to crossover "ALIEN
NATION" and "PLANET OF THE APES"!

But don't get me wrong, Terry. I love POTA and I'm enough of an
enthusiast of both Nolan & Johnson's original "LOGAN'S RUN" novel AND
the MGM film loosely based on it to be devoting a lot of personal
time to writing a fanfic novelization of that film (with all sorts of
added backstory stuff to more fully flesh out the filmed story). My
two favorite things when I was growing up were "PLANET OF THE APES"
(which includes all the filmed sequels, the Marvel mag, etc etc)
and "LOGAN'S RUN" -- the book AND the movie. I dig all sorts of other
things -- Bond, Trek, the original "STAR WARS" before Lucas got
retarded, etc etc -- but my 2 faves are POTA and LOGAN. Yet, as much
as I dig 'em, I just would prefer to keep 'em separate from each
other.

I have bought every Fox POTA vhs/dvd that has come out and I would only consider another POTA purchase if there were deleted scenes, blooper reels, or even unpublished storyboards/artwork.

 

If there any catalog of known deleted scenes that might make it to a future release?

Thanks,

Bill

----------------------------------------------------------

*** Two things...

1) Of late, I've avoided putting anything in the "Subject" box
because ever since I downloaded the updated version of MSN that my
Dell computer runs, every time I use the mouse to put the cursor in
that "Subject" box to type up some new Subject heading, MSN pops up
and informs me that it has to disconnect me from the Internet. And
then it takes several minutes just to get online again and to open up
my Yahoo emails (etc etc). It really pisses me off when that happens,
so I just don't bother changing the "Subject" header anymore!

2) As for the APES audio drama thing... well, I haven't downloaded it
yet, not to mention listened to it. Maybe when it's all finished and
I have a week to spare downloading it with my dial-up connection...
maybe THEN I'll give it a listen. But if what I hear from you jokers
is any indication -- 40 minutes into it and they're just coming outta
the sinking ship??? -- then I'm not in any big hurry to experience
this thing!

It sorta reminds me of something I recently read about Frank Miller
in some movie magazine (in conjuction with the movie "300" based on
his graphic novel). He said that if anybody's thinking about becoming
a graphic novelist, they should first ask themselves if they've got
an interesting story to tell... to imagine themselves sitting around
a campfire with other people: is their story interesting enough to
keep 'em riveted? If it ain't, then don't bother trying to tell any
kind of story -- be it in a graphic novel format or any other.

By the way, "300" is -- IMHO -- a magnificent piece of cinema, and I
don't care what any of the snooty damned movie reviewers who don't
dig it have said! When I first saw "ROCKY" (back when it first came
out in the theater), it made me want to go out and exercise -- that
whole Training sequence with the theme music just MOTIVATES ya, you
know? And when I saw "300" last week, it made me want to go out and
slaughter Persians in a Robert E. Howardian orgy of kickass
destruction! And, who knows? With Iran acting like a bitch lately, we
all might just have to go out and bitch-slap the bunch. We should've
done that to 'em back when they took our embassy personnel hostage.
If I had been President back then, I'd have told 'em: "You assholes
have 3 days to get those American citizens on friendly soil --
unharmed -- or Tehran becomes a fucking nuclear crater! Have as many
Islamist revolutions as you want, you backwards fanatics, but when
you commit an act of war against the United States of America, don't
act all surprised when we give you the smackdown in reply!" If
ANYTHING emboldened the fanatic Muslims to ramp up terrorism against
the West, it was that "please-don't-hurt-the-hostages" whimpering
stance that we were reduced to in the post-Vietnam malaise that was
Carter's presidency. His half-assed "rescue" attempt was an
embarrassment: he SHOULD have sent a cruise missile to Khomeini's
house -- a dud, with a phrase (in Arabic and English) on it
reading: "THE NEXT ONE WON'T BE A DUD". The kid's gloves treatment
they got back then has only made 'em the pains-in-the-ass they
currently are.

I've heard that some Iranians are protesting the portrayal of their
ancestors in "300"... and it makes me want to flip 'em the bird. A
mere 300 Spartans held off tens of thousands of Xerxes' hordes! It
actually happened! Brave, logic-loving warriors outdid their
religious fanatic enemies when the odds were at least 100 to 1. And
soon after, the Persian Empire was subsumed by Alexander the Great.
Thus, despite its flaws, the Western Tradition conquered the tide of
uppity religion-inspired fanaticism represented by the would-
be "godking" Xerxes and his ilk.

How'd I get onto this rant??? Oh yeah... I saw "300" last week. Great
flick! Like the "moloko plus" they serve at the Korova Milkbar, it
gets you all geared-up for a bit of the ol' ultra-violence! If you
liked "SIN CITY" -- and who didn't??? -- then you'll dig "300".

Hey Terry!

What's happening with AC?

Michael

I want to do something like a coffee table book on the Planet of the Apes to commerorate the
40th anniversary of POTA movie and I want to know which executive do I get in touch with at
Fox so I can get permission to do the book. Does anyone in the group thinks that this would
be a great addition for their collection.

I have to go out of town again for two weeks and
seeing as I am already 137 messages behind, I'm going
to switch to "special notices" for a bit! But I'll be
back around the 7th of April

It would be like a photo book like "The Art of Star Wars","Close
Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Alien". I want to put rare and
unseen photos, behind the scenes, drawings, photos of makeup and some
unseen artwork and storyboards. I can understand that this idea
haven't been done before, but to have a coffee book 10.5x13.5 and with
photos like these that is attached. The photo that is attached I found
on a site called "Magnum Photo". There has to be some rare and unseen

I'm looking forward to this too, at the moment I'm working my way
through the Jon Pertwee episodes from the early 70's. If I can get
reasonable flights to Birmingham next week I'll go to the convention -
it seems to have more to offer Dr Who fans than PotA fans, judging

It's the kind of revival that seemed impossible just 4 years ago and
just goes to show what can be achieved when a corporation gives a
franchise the backing it deserves. There's more spin-offs happening
too, Sarah-Jane Smith is getting her own show and I've read there'll
be a kids animated series running concurrently with the newest
season. Of course it'll probably quieten down again eventually, and
it wasn't lost for as long as Apes has been, but you never know what
the future holds...

I like Hartnell too, I thought they should have cast an older actor
in the new series for that air of wisdom and authority. Eccleston
didn't really do it for me, much too serious and 'modern', but David
Tennant is way better, a quirky eccentric like some of the best past
Doctors.

When I watch Doctor Who, I am partial to two actors, Tom Baker and
Christopher Eccleston. Tom Baker was the actor who play the Doctor at the
time when I first started watching Doctor Who. Who can forget his mop of
curly hair, his famous scarf and his very upbeat attitude. I believe that
Christopher Eccleston played the most cynical of all the Doctors. He
reminds me of a younger, handsome and with a more upbeat attitude Al Bundy
of MARRIED WITH CHILDREN (played by Ed O'Neill). I believe that there is a
bit of Eccleston's Doctor Who or Al Bundy in all of us.

I'm not buying it. If you want to discuss how the techniques used to revive Doctor Who can be applied to Planet of the Apes, fine, I'm all for it, but "Hartnell/Baker/ Eccleston/ whoever is my fave Doctor" is purely off-topic drivel.

.html.html From FilmScoreMonthly.com:

Fox has also brought Tim Burton's PLANET OF THE APES (***, 2001, 119 mins., PG-13) to Blu Ray in a generally satisfying presentation that Burton aficionados should enjoy.

The movie has become something of a forgotten film over the years, despite strong box-office receipts, and in spite of being a hated picture among original series fans, this "Apes" is nevertheless still worth seeing. One aspect that the Blu Ray version handles better than the previous DVD is that the movie's dark cinematography is obviously far better represented in the high-definition transfer. It's easier to follow the action and appreciate the artistry of cinematographer Philippe Rousselot in the Blu Ray version, which also includes a commentary by Burton, the trailer, a 5.1 DTS HD soundtrack and bonus trailers.

Probably not a "reference quality" disc but still a substantial upgrade on the standard-definition DVD, and worth a viewing for Burton fans and aficionados of this entertaining "re-imagining."

Yikes!  Three stars, "worth seeing"?!!!!  What's this guy been smoking?  Certainly something of a forgotten film, and to quote Dr. Zaius in the original, "and deservedly so!"

Fair enough, point taken. My understanding is that Doctor Who
survived it's wilderness years by the BBC licensing out the name for
other companies to run with: one group was publishing novels of
original material on a monthly basis, while another was making...
audio dramas! But audio dramas with original stories and using the
voices of actors from the TV series. That's a tall order for POTA
perhaps, but imagine if Naughton and Harper could be persuaded to
take part in a good audio story.

.htmlThis is actually a piece I wouldn't mind owning, but not for USD$200.<.html

.html<.html

This is the same sculpt as the gorilla wall mounts I bought from
Klaatu collectibles but with a Statue of Liberty crown bolted to it.
Don't get me wrong. I love the piece. In fact, I now have 2 of them.
One is painted realisticly and is in my living room and the other has
a "bronze" finish and is featured with my Apes collection. They are a
pretty heavy plaster with a wire for mounting. I paid $19.99 for each
one before shipping. Someone's trying to make a buck.

I added a pic of the "bronze" gorilla to the photos section. It
actually looks much better than the pic makes it out to be.
Remember, you can get these for $19.99, not $199.00. Klatuu
collectibles has them on Ebay quite often.

You know - seriously - when Neil and I do something, and Cougar says "it does not suck", it means to us that it's an overwhelming success!

  True, but let's face it. The important thing is that Cougar is happy.  Jeff

An arrangement has been worked out with the Hulk and once again Apes are cover-featured on this week's issue of Mighty World of Marvel. Jason and Alexander return this issue, as do Lightsmith, Malaguena, Gilbert the Gibbon, Brutus, the Lawgiver, monkey demons and the brains in the jars. What more could you ask for, really?

I will be turning off the group posting facility as the Yahoo multiple
posting problem that is affecting ALL groups is getting worse. I have
investigated it and no one seems to know what is going on at the
moment so it is best that posting be stopped for the time being.

If and when Yahoo fix the problem I will let you all know and we can
start posting again.

Thanks, and sorry for the multiple posts!

Neil, co-owner POTADG.

-- That would actually make sense.

If I had not read the history on Ebay, "This is a very unique never
before seen design portraying the Statue of Liberty at the end of the
original Planet of the apes film as an ape." and seen the ape's face
which looks like it is from the makeup from the original POTA 1968, I
would think that bust had been made for the ending for POTA 2001. In
the ending for POTA 2001 if the face of the Abraham Lincoln statue had
been changed to Thade, then the face on the Statue of Liberty could had
been changed to an ape's face as well.
