Thanks, Mike! Now I just hope I don't end up with angry hordes of
POTA fans telling me I suck, and helpfully suggesting that I try a
career sweeping out zoo cages instead of writing. (It could
happen...and I'm ready for it.)

Heh! Well, I think my wife has already earmarked the first chunk of
revenue to home repairs, so I may have to deal with the ol' Blu-Ray
blues for a bit longer.

For any fellow REGION B users (Europe, N.Z., Australia) I can now
confirm the the US discs ARE region encoded - You can enjoy the book
but you won't be able to play the region A discs on your region B player.

Amazing.

I'll try to keep an eye out for any TV appearances.
Anyone know how strict the region encoding is for blu-ray? As I
understand it most DVD players are region free nowadays (especially
the cheaper models, I'm told).

I've been watching the full run of The Twilight Zone of late. I have
all nine seasons on DVD, and I'm about 2/3 of the way through season
1 of the original series. So far, I've seen episodes with Claude
Akins and Roddy McDoawll, and as soon as I hear their voices, I
picture them in ape garb. It's been many years since I've watched
The Twilight Zone. Are many other POTA actors in it?

.html

 

Most of the POTA actors did numerous guest appearances

on television series.  Mission Impossible, Night Gallery,

Bewitched, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Barney Miller, etc . . .

I saw it on the news first and it was also posted at POTA, but it's
impossible not to think of CONQUEST.

Mel

Whitty,

What you say is true that "if" they'd go ahead and do that POTA:Genesis
film, there may be a flood of merchandise related to it, but it'd be
related to the new incarnation, not "our" CONQUEST...

It'd be a whole new incarnation of the APES name, just as Burton's film
was, it'd be another "reimagination" so it wouldn't be related to the
original APES... There is a big difference...

*** You were right about Booth Colman, but not Roddy and Kim... The
three I was referencing are:

Booth Colman (Councilor Zaius), John Hoyt (Prefect Barlow), and
Geoffrey Deuel (Anto).

And in the "trivia" for the episode that Booth is in, it mentions
that he was on the APES television series and that John Hoyt also
appeared (twice) on APES... No mention of Geoffrey's being on APES
though... ***

*** They aren't going to show the "Aged Galen" clips... I'll bet if
you even asked anyone at FOX about these, they'd give you a blank
stare... Since they were done special for ABC's afternoon airings of
the TV films, they may not even be owned by FOX but by the network
that wanted them made (though of course FOX does own Galen/APES).
That's all a guess though... Anyway, it wouldn't make any sense for
them to show the clips because the way they're laid out, they're
meant as daily bumpers, not just generic introduction clips... It'd
make no sense to show a clip of Galen saying "I'll see you tomorrow"
when the next film would be shown after a commercial break...

And even if they do have the Galen clips in their possession, they
won't be showing them for this reason: They didn't have time for
APEMANIA to remake them! ***

designing a DVD case to appeal to the gamer community... People have
got to know these aren't "new" films, they're classics and their
packages should reflect that... But, I've also heard that FOX is
selling the original 1951 "The Day The Earth Stood Still" with "new"
looking packaging so maybe that's where all their imagination went:
Trying to make vintage films appear like they were made today... I'm
not saying the work APEMANIA did was all bad, I do like the cover for
BATTLE compared to the others, but the new shots/designs are
too "slick"... Now if there were a new comic line or something like
that, then the style they used on the DVDs/cases would be more in line
with what it'd be: a new product with a new image. (And by "new image",
I mean new as in newly created pictures, etc. NOT "new image" as in the
bullshit they tried with pota2001 and their "giving it a new image" to
appeal to "today's audience".)

Anyway, I've said it before and I'll say it again: I am for what
APEMANIA does as far as their restorations of original outfits and
their reproduction outfits are also cool... I also like that they try
to keep the original style of appliance applications alive, however,
their make-up is poor... You can say "What's the difference, it's all
appliances like the films used", while that may be technically true,
the make-up is NOT the same... Their makeups are highly lacking, and
the material they use looks too much like sponge... Their best ones are
their gorillas and even they're lacking compared to the originals, and
I do not like their chimps/orangs at all... ***

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frankly, I think Fox was also seeing how much APEMANIA charges to do
costumes and make-up because that new script has hit and they could get
it right this time!!!

*** You're kidding, right? 99% chance that APEMANIA just used their
regular APEMANIA troupe outfits for the covers/DVD shots (ie: They
didn't charge FOX anything for outfits, they were using their regular
performance gear which they then wore on the soccer mom show, etc.) If
FOX would choose to use APEMANIA for any film project, I'd hope they'd
tell them to improve their makeup applications, because as they sit
now, they're NOT film-worthy...

As far as APEMANIA doing costumes: Chances are if we'd get another
film, they'd probably not use the original style of ape clothes in the
film, so going to them to see about costumes would be pointless...

Plus, great looking as they are, their repro outfits are quite pricey
because they don't seem to have the facilities to mass produce them so
it wouldn't even be cost-effective for FOX to use them... Chances are
they could get them done at a lower price elsewhere. (Again, I'm not
saying their outfits aren't "worth" what they ask, I just can't see
them being able to mass produce what a film would need at an affordable
price and in a timely manner.)

And here's why APEMANIA appeared on the DVD packaging (and I'm sure I
could get an email from the source I heard this from sent here to
confirm this): The Marketing guy at FOX who had the "bright idea" of
placing them on the Rachel Ray show is also a friend of the guy who
portrays one of the APEMANIA apes (Zaius I think it is). The only
reason they used them on the DVDs and packaging is because the FOX
Marketing/PR guy is all buddy-buddy with one of their performers... It
had nothing to do with APEMANIA's credentials but the fact that one of
their guys knows someone at FOX. ***

Yes, but so is the makeup for the TV series.

The makeup in general went downhill from the

first film to the last, with Roddy's jaw hanging off

his face in Battle and the TV show.  I cringe every

time I see Apemania's Zira's neck show.  Details!

*** True, the makeup on the TV series isn't always up to snuff, but the principles came across pretty good most of the time (and yes, I even think Galen did... What I don't like about Galen is the way he has too much hair: His ears are virtually unnoticeable... )

 

Some of the guest apes were very well done, like Aboro... Even Jaqueline Scott's appearance improved from "The Good Seeds" to "The Surgeon"...

 

All I can say in the TV series defense is that they were under the gun to get everything moving, so maybe some of the make-ups failed due to not having enough time to do it as precisely as the artists would have liked... APEMANIA on the other hand really has no pressures to start shooting and being bugged with lines like "We're losing time here, we gotta get moving..." I don't have any idea of why they're not where they should be make-upwise...

I was 10 when they came out, and those prices might as well have been
$100, because I didn't have the money. Seems ridiculous now, but it
was true.

I had a few items (a couple of Megos and puzzles), but they were all

So what's with this chick?

If the costume is the same is she a giraffe, or what?

While what "apefan" says is true, that it would have been great to be able to pick the stuff up when it was cheap (i.e. original sale/"retail price" rather than the price some of it goes for now on the secondary market), I'm in the same boat as Hunter, and apparently you too Whitty: The stuff might as well have been $100 if the money isn't/wasn't there...

 

Here's a cool calculator that shows prices adjusted for inflation... The prices of most of the APES items in the ad(s) is pretty comparable to what an equivalent item would be today...

'If' they were to make a new movie, and if they wanted to set it in
the classic pota universe, they'd pretty much have to recreate the
classic make ups, for continuity. So who else besides Apemania know
how to still do these make ups professionally? That's not a
rhetorical question, I genuinely wonder how they would go about
recreating them after 34 years.

I really enjoyed Ty's REVOLUTION series. You know what I would really like to see..something that takes place between ESCAPE and CONQUEST....

 

I've always thought that the apes in CONQUEST got too smart, too fast. And that Caesar definitely had some kind of telepathic control over apes of lesser intelligence (kind of like Obi-Wan using the Force on the Stormtroopers).

 

What could have happened to the bodies of Cornelius, Zira and Milo after they were killed? I conjecture that, after a standard autopsy (hey, maybe someone would unearth some "ape autopsy" footage!) the bodies were put on ice. Some years later, when Ape servitude proved to be a widespread and profitable business, the genes of the apeonauts were used by Ape Management to breed more intelligent apes -- easier to train. This, of course, was their undoing and accelerated the take over of the apes.

 

Thus, sharing the same genetic code, gave Caesar a telepathic influence over the simple-minded apes (this influence faded in BATTLE, since the apes had become more intelligent over time.

 

I'm sure Patrick must have thought this trough already...

 

Any thoughts?

Bill

That's what I'm thinking....the only similarity to the old films will be perhaps an ape named "Caesar". I can't imagine Fox going back to the old storyline....

And here's the opening & closing credits to 'Back To POTA'
and 'Farewell To POTA'. On the first one they squash all the end
credits together, on the second one they give credits for each
episode, and they removed the episode title, director, guest stars,
etc, that had been shown after the opening credits. Not very
interesting really, but some might be curious. To me, the opening
theme sounds slightly different - more drums and piano I think?
