POTA has been on my list of favorite movies for years and I also think
its one of the greatest films of all time. I would add KING KONG
(1933), THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938), TOUCH OF EVIL, VERTIGO,
THE THING (both versions), THE BIG SLEEP, and ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE
WEST just to name a few.
I love PAN'S LABYRINTH but actually like the director's THE DEVIL'S
BACKBONE a bit more.

Nowhere is a CRIME FREE zone T don’t be
RIDICULOUS.
However London
has FAR less murders than the US
and you know it.
I’m sure you’ll whip up a nice line or
statistic to negate this but the fact stands – where there is gun control there
are FAR LESS MURDERS.

Eastwood has developed in recent years as
a director and the main change is that from showing straight revenge (High
Plains Drifter), however justified (Outlaw Josey Wales), to questioning the
value of life and saying very clearly that taking a man’s life is an incredibly
major thing (Unforgiven).
Ultimately in Gran Torino you see Walt
Kawolski solve a few problems WITH guns, to ultimately realize and demonstrate
that the most EFFECTIVE way to a solution is to disarm.
I hope others will mature as he did.

Well you'd think that
London would be a crime free zone
if Gun Control actually worked. In
Texas I won't say that
everyone is packing -- but you have to
assume someone
could be since it's legal here -- and if
anything I feel safer
here than in
London . As for Clint Eastwood, I
preferred
the ending of Unforgiven to Grand
Torino. As clever as his
solution was, I'd much rather see Clint
taking TCB'n than
taking it. That's just not going to
be as satisfying to the
movie going public because they're
usually taking it.
Where is the Escape in
that? That's my argument
against New Wave Euro Cine. I don't
want a Slice
Of Life like The Bicycle Thief. I
don't go to the movies
for Real Life. That comes when I
step out of the
theater. I don't need or want more
of the same

I just saw that Joe Strummer
tribute film, The Future Is Unwritten.
I always thought Joe was just a Rockstar
Asshole, while Mick Jones was like your
Best Friend You Never Met. This
film
really give me some insight as to
why.
You get that perception. It's not
so cut
and dry. Rat Scabbies of the Damned
is one of my favorite people in the biz
and I couldn't understand why one of
his mates would be Joe. Now I know.

consider to be a great film may not be the next mans favourite?
However if you want to see a modern good film that is set in modern
times and believable have you seen Fools Gold, very entertaining.
Other films Rocknrolla , in brugge , the heartbreak kid are a few
newish 2008/2009 films worth viewing

Actually Slade
were not a little known group they were one of the most successful British bands
of the seventies and were still having hits well into the late eighties.
They
were not really skinheads but only very briefly used the look because their
manager Chas Chandler persuaded them to cut their hair off and dress like
skinheads just to sell more records by tagging along with the
at the time popular skinhead
movement. They were never into all that skinhead stuff and soon abandoned the
image and grew their hair back.

Yeah, I don't know anything about BG but
it's obvious the new series is acclaimed (even >Eric Greene< wrote for a

The reports about Glen Larson didn't say he did the new one but the report is
they're throwing a bone to fans of the old one. The main creator of the new one
isn't involved. Maybe the new series is too "smart" to do as a movie. They have

The Glen Larson that produced the original 70's series is also the
guy responsible for the current series. So they are just trying to do
a movie based on the current series. Having said that, the current
series is infinitely superior to the old series and that is why it is such
a success. If they tried to bring it back as it was, it would have
failed. (It wasn't all that successful even way back then.) BG is an
example of where they corrected the deficiencies of a old product and
created something a lot better. A rarety.
A funny story about the new
BG is that for years Larson was working on a revival and at the same time
one of the original actors, Richard "appollo" Hatch, was also pursuing it.
But for years to two clashed. Ultimately Larson won out and even brought on
Hatch to act in the new series with a minor recurring
role.

Good point, Michael. The only thing I'll add
is I heard from someone who worked on the blu-rays (not Brian) that Fox does
check these groups from time to time (though they don't like them).
As for Apemania, Brian hasn't heard anything
about the new Apes since last summer so it was probably just a conversation when
they were working on the blu-rays. Apemania isn't in development meetings. And
considering they went with "Caesar" they don't listen anyway.

Hi
Jeff.
Great
post.
(1)
I knew
they were talking to someone and Brian is probably the person who pays more in
licensing fees than anyone else because he does/has been doing so steadily
over MANY years. There is far too much of Fox now taking a POSITIVE
direction on things for them to have NOT spoken to
fans;
(2)
ItÂ’s
time to start over. POTA is a PILOT (as with HEROES, the PILOT then
changed in major ways before we see episode 1). But they really need to
do one more thing: PLAN HOW MANY MOVIES THEY ARE DOING AND MAP THEM OUT SO
THEY MAKE SENSE!

It's being reported that
Universal is courting Glen Larson, producer of the original '70's series, to
do a movie version of "Battlestar Galactica" ( http://www.aintitco ol.com/node/ 40192 ).
Of course there's been an acclaimed revamp series, which BG traditionalists
supposedly rejected. I know almost nothing about either series or BG fandom,
but apparently Universal is giving a nod to the old school fans by bringing in
Larson and bringing back characters like Adama for the
movie.
The only thing this has to
do with anything is that many "Ape" fans seem upset by Fox's "Caesar" plans
that stray once again from the original movies. That just seems to be the way
in Hollywood . Even this new BG is described as a revamp
but with a touch of the old. But it is a step in the retro direction.
When I interviewed Brian
(Apemania) Penikas last weekend he said Fox does go to them for ideas of what
the fans want in a new movie. He said he told them we want the original
characters we fell in love with - - Cornelius, Zira, Zauis, etc. He said last
summer they were considering two ideas: a "prequel" to "Planet" and this
"Caesar" idea. Though I've been as open to the new "Caesar" revamp as anyone I
think it would be cool if they could do something in the original universe;
maybe update it visually in some way but keep the names and costumes, etc.
I think there's some resistance to doing a
straight "prequel" because there's too much baggage with the originals.
Starting over seems to be the safe choice. But they are starting to come out
with "hybrids" like "Superman Returns" and the new "Star Trek" where they take
certain elements from the originals and just go "bigger". Is that the way to
go? Or should they just let the originals rest in peace and start over
(again)?

just ludicrous!

a few of the episodes of the 'new' version and it bored the pants off

.htmlI don't see that the prequel idea and the 'Caesar' idea have to be
opposed to each other: as Whitty has pointed out, they could film the
original ape revolution and still fit it into the two-timeline POTA
universe. Of course that is a fairly hardcore POTA-fan scenario (and
also it should be called 'Aldo', not 'Caesar'!).
Personally, I definately wouldn't like to see Zira, Cornelius, Zaius
in a new movie - their stories have been told and any actor who tries
to recreate them is going to fail, no question. But I'd really like
to see a new movie set in the same universe with the classic
costumes, sets, etc. Just a few generations/centuries earlier.
There's plenty of room in the timeline to place a series of new films
with new characters that neither contradict or directly relate to the
classic characters. To me, any remake that re-tells the stories
already shown basically tries to dismiss the classic movies, and
those POTA classics just refuse to die, despite what some of you
think.
And yes Michael, wouldn't it be great if they could map out a series
(3 or 4) of movies in advance, rather than having to figure out ways
around each previous 'ultimate ending'.

Ron Moore. He's considered the brains

Yeah, I don't know anything about BG but
it's obvious the new series is acclaimed (even >Eric Greene< wrote for a
book about it) and that the original is an old clunker only a fan could love.
The reports about Glen Larson didn't say he did the new one but the report is
they're throwing a bone to fans of the old one. The main creator of the new
one isn't involved. Maybe the new series is too "smart" to do as a movie. They
have to dumb it down.

The Glen Larson that produced the original 70's series is also the
guy responsible for the current series. So they are just trying to do
a movie based on the current series. Having said that, the current
series is infinitely superior to the old series and that is why it is
such a success. If they tried to bring it back as it was, it would have
failed. (It wasn't all that successful even way back then.) BG is an
example of where they corrected the deficiencies of a old product and
created something a lot better. A rarety.
A funny story about the
new BG is that for years Larson was working on a revival and at the same
time one of the original actors, Richard "appollo" Hatch, was also
pursuing it. But for years to two clashed. Ultimately Larson won out and
even brought on Hatch to act in the new series with a minor recurring
role.

I realize this however they are listening
I think.
What Scott Frank is saying about the
direction he’s going in means nothing until the script is finished.
Even then we all know it has a way to go
and may end up being re-written, co-written etc and barely recognizable by the
end.
I still think a hell of a lot IS getting
through to the powers that be, much more than we’ll realize until this
runs its course. Not because they care, but because they want this to $ucceed!

Hi Jeff.
Great post.
(1)
I knew they were talking to someone and Brian is probably the
person who pays more in licensing fees than anyone else because he does/has
been doing so steadily over MANY years. There is far too much of Fox now
taking a POSITIVE direction on things for them to have NOT spoken to fans;
(2)
It’s time to start over. POTA is a PILOT (as with
HEROES, the PILOT then changed in major ways before we see episode 1).
But they really need to do one more thing: PLAN HOW MANY MOVIES THEY ARE DOING
AND MAP THEM OUT SO THEY MAKE SENSE!

"Caesar" vs."Galactica" - in with the old?
It's
being reported that Universal is courting Glen Larson, producer of the original
'70's series, to do a movie version of "Battlestar Galactica" ( http://www.aintitco ol.com/node/ 40192 ).
Of course there's been an acclaimed revamp series, which BG traditionalists
supposedly rejected. I know almost nothing about either series or BG fandom,
but apparently Universal is giving a nod to the old school fans by bringing in
Larson and bringing back characters like Adama for the movie.
The
only thing this has to do with anything is that many "Ape" fans seem
upset by Fox's "Caesar" plans that stray once again from the original
movies. That just seems to be the way in
Hollywood . Even this new BG is
described as a revamp but with a touch of the old. But it is a step in the
retro direction.
When
I interviewed Brian (Apemania) Penikas last weekend he said Fox does go to them
for ideas of what the fans want in a new movie. He said he told them we want
the original characters we fell in love with - - Cornelius, Zira, Zauis, etc.
He said last summer they were considering two ideas: a "prequel" to
"Planet" and this "Caesar" idea. Though I've been as open
to the new "Caesar" revamp as anyone I think it would be cool if they
could do something in the original universe; maybe update it visually in some
way but keep the names and costumes, etc.
I think there's some resistance to doing a straight
"prequel" because there's too much baggage with the originals.
Starting over seems to be the safe choice. But they are starting to come out
with "hybrids" like "Superman Returns" and the new
"Star Trek" where they take certain elements from the originals and
just go "bigger". Is that the way to go? Or should they just let the
originals rest in peace and start over (again)?

Probably because we're always complaining:
"Fox doesn't give us THIS on the DVDs". "Fox doesn't know how to make
movies". "Fox, Fox, Fox..."
Legit complaints, if that's how we feel, but
probably not nice to hear.
But that's what my source said, Fox doesn't
like the groups.

Good point, Michael. The
only thing I'll add is I heard from someone who worked on the blu-rays (not
Brian) that Fox does check these groups from time to time (though they don't

You seem to be disagreeing but you bring
up Japan
where there are far less murders than any other city with the same population
(including per capita).
The conclusion is where there is gun
control there are less murders.
If people carry guns around they can
murder you very quickly and effectively.
Of course you will say this is not true,
just like Nazis say the Jews were never slaughtered en masse.

You can reach whatever conclusion you want.

I can carry a gun, and you, can't. So what.
Big deal. You can't take away my rights.
I usually find that people who would like
to take away someone's right to keep
and bear arms are people who are
afraid they would get shot because
they're bullies. Whether physically
or verbally. Just bullies and, for
the most part, bullies are cowards.
You're no probably formulating some

Except for this. But I guess these facts are lies too.
Right to Carry reduces crime. States that approve right to
carry experience a significant decline in violent crime rates after the right to
carry laws take effect. According to FBI crime statistics states implementing
right to carry experience: An 8 percent drop in murder rates A 7 percent
drop in aggravated assaults A 5 percent drop in rapes A 4.9 percent drop
in all violent crime A 2.2 percent decline in robberies.

You can reach whatever conclusion you
want.
Do the research, or don't I really don't
care.
I can carry a gun, and you, can't.
So what.
Big deal. You can't take away my
rights.
I usually find that people who would like
to take away someone's right to keep
and bear arms are people who are
afraid they would get shot because
they're bullies. Whether physically
or verbally. Just bullies and, for
the most part, bullies are cowards.
You're no probably formulating some
comeback that people with guns are
cowards, but protecting myself and
my family does not make me a coward.
Those are my final words on the subject.
So drop it or rant all you want. I
spoke my peace.

Except for this. But I guess these
facts are lies too.
Right to Carry reduces
crime.
States that approve right to carry experience a significant decline in violent
crime rates after the right to carry laws take effect. According to FBI crime
statistics states implementing right to carry experience:
An 8 percent drop
in murder rates
A 7 percent drop in
aggravated assaults
A 5 percent drop in
rapes
A 4.9 percent drop
in all violent crime
A 2.2 percent
decline in robberies.

POSSIBLE to get a hand gun, but difficult.
Easy if you shoot targets.

Did you ever see the interview special Robert Osborne did with Chuck for
TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES? They re-ran it after he died, along with a number
of his films (they do that a lot when a famous actor from yesteryear
passes on).
In that interview, they talk about PLANET, of course, and
Chuck -- if I recall right -- mentions how great a role it was to play.
His interviewer remarked about how great a movie it was, too.
In
regards to how Heston thought of the "POTA franchise", well, I don't think
he gave it much thought. I suspect that the only film other than PLANET
that he actually went out of his way to watch was BENEATH -- a film he was
in -- which he grudgingly admitted later turned out better than he had
expected it to be, if not as good as the first film.
But I've
never seen any evidence that he ever went to see ESCAPE or CONQUEST or
BATTLE... that he ever tuned in to CBS to watch the TV show or the
cartoon. His attitude was that anything else was just "adventures among
the monkeys" and that didn't interest him. He later said that it was his
understanding that ONE of the sequels was actually quite good -- I think
he was referring to CONQUEST -- but he gives the impression that he'd
HEARD it was good... but had never actually seen it and was, therefore,
not in any position to make a judgment of his own.
I don't think
he ever bothered to see any of the POTA sequels. He referred to the series
as a "space opera" which preceded the success of later sagas like "STAR
WARS" and "STAR TREK" (perhaps pridefully suggesting that those later
"space operas" might never have happened if not for the success of the
"space opera" that was the 5-film series.
Mind you, I'm not
knocking Heston for being dismissive of the sequels, not bothering to even
go see them. I think he might've been pleasantly surprised by how good
they were despite their budgetary cut-backs and all that. But he never
gave them a chance, thinking them to be lesser derivative works... that
the "only story" was the one told in the first film.
It was his
loss. And THAT makes me kinda sad -- really. He prejudged any possible
sequel [perhaps the only real act of "prejudice" he ever committed],
agreeing to appear briefly in BENEATH without having even seen a script.
He gave a great performance in BENEATH, mind you: he was the consummate
professional when it came to putting forth a performance, making the best
of whatever script they gave for him to act out. I think that his
suggestion that his character blow up the world like Col. Nicholson
"accidentally" falling on the detonator that blew up Boulle's bridge over
the river Kwai was, perhaps, a nod to Boulle of sorts; a tip-of-the-hat to
another Boulle story about human absurdity [this despite the fact that the
bridge didn't blow up in the original novel].
We tend to forget, I
think, that back in those days the very idea of making a "sequel" was
rare. It's one thing to adapt a series of novels [like the Tarzan books,
or the Bond novels, etc], each of which is an "original" albeit with a
recurring character. Heston portrayed Sherlock Holmes once in a
made-for-TV movie, and he certainly never thought of the Holmes stories as
"further adventures amongst the detectives".
But filmic sequels
were associated with franchises like the Universal horror films, which
degenerated into comicbook-like team-ups, where a bunch of monsters all
appear in the same film... Frankenstein and the Wolfman, etc etc. Once
they threw in Abbott and Costello, who could look at the Universal horror
films series seriously again? It's like having Cheech & Chong show up
in a FRIDAY THE 13TH film. No wonder Chuck automatically dismissed the
possibility that a sequel to PLANET might actually be artistically worthy.
He assumed that it would be a knock-off with no real story to
tell.
It's his loss that he (probably) went on the believe that the
later sequels would similarly be "further adventures amongst the monkeys"
rather than an oft-brilliant epic allegory further exploring the
themes so magnificently exploited in the first film. He missed out on
a chance to let a filmic experience change his preconceived
notions.
Which should be a lesson for Cougar! Forget the fact that most
of us here -- including me -- were utterly disappointed in Burton's
POTA2K, and give it a once-see! Who knows... maybe you'll find that your
low expectations will contrast with your experience of actually seeing it
so that you'll actually NOT MIND it... maybe even LIKE it, like Mikey
in that old TV commercial for the breakfast cereal.

.html I should chime in regarding the recently released 40th Anniversary
Special issue of SIMIAN SCROLLS. I received a gratis copy due to the
fact that they reprinted "with [my] kind permission" my tribute to
Chuck that first appeared on this POTADG site.
Let me say, first off, that I am honored that Dave Ballard -- on
behalf of the folks at SIMIAN SCROLLS -- sought out my humble tribute
to Chuck for inclusion as a fan-based memorial to THE man whose
portrayal of Taylor made PLANET not only a magnificent film, but one
of his own best movies. They could've made the whole issue a Chuck-
tribute one, but the ONLY article addressing the passing of Mr.
Heston was the one I wrote, and I am honored that they deemed it
worthy of inclusion. Thanks, Dave, for making a place for my words in
this issue.
And, I must say, that the entire issue -- from cover to cover -- is
superlative. A true labor-of-love (or, for the UK folks, a "labour"-
of-love), you can tell just by perusing it. From the wonderful Tom
Rubalcava cover-art to the John Chambers tribute-and-more, to the
interviews with Maurice Stein & Ellis Nassour, to Rich Handley's
article on the "lost" POTA stories ... the entire issue is chock-full
of great content. I'm proud to have it in my personal POTA
collection, right alongside the APESFAN issue #2 that published my
article on POTA chronology.
I've certainly clogged these Yahoo groups with enough postings to
fill many many volumes... but there's something about seeing your
work in print, in an actual publication, that feels extra special.
I'm as happy as a monkey a-swangin' in a tree to see something I
wrote in print in a POTA fanzine. I wonder if Rory felt similar when
his first letter was printed in Marvel's POTA magazine? It wouldn't
surprise me if he did.
Again... thanks to Dave Ballard for thinking to include my piece in
this terrific 40th Anniversary issue. And thanks to everybody else at
SIMIAN SCROLLS for putting out this wonderful fanzine. POTA is alive
and well, regardless of what anybody else might say!

I’m sure he did.
That’s what I’m saying –
he wasn’t a big fan of POTA – not that I’d expect him to be.
Roddy was, but again that might be more
about him knowing it was a cash cow and he might have wanted it more for his

*** Did you ever see the interview special Robert Osborne did with
Chuck for TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES? They re-ran it after he died, along
with a number of his films (they do that a lot when a famous actor
from yesteryear passes on).
In that interview, they talk about PLANET, of course, and Chuck -- if
I recall right -- mentions how great a role it was to play. His
interviewer remarked about how great a movie it was, too.
In regards to how Heston thought of the "POTA franchise", well, I
don't think he gave it much thought. I suspect that the only film
other than PLANET that he actually went out of his way to watch was
BENEATH -- a film he was in -- which he grudgingly admitted later
turned out better than he had expected it to be, if not as good as
the first film.
But I've never seen any evidence that he ever went to see ESCAPE or
CONQUEST or BATTLE ...
that he ever tuned in to CBS to watch the TV
show or the cartoon. His attitude was that anything else was
just "adventures among the monkeys" and that didn't interest him. He
later said that it was his understanding that ONE of the sequels was
actually quite good -- I think he was referring to CONQUEST -- but he
gives the impression that he'd HEARD it was good... but had never
actually seen it and was, therefore, not in any position to make a
judgment of his own.
I don't think he ever bothered to see any of the POTA sequels. He
referred to the series as a "space opera" which preceded the success
of later sagas like "STAR WARS" and "STAR TREK" (perhaps
pridefully
suggesting that those later "space operas" might never have happened
if not for the success of the "space opera" that was the 5-film
series.

All these words Patrick and you still can’t
just look at the reality of the comparison with other places:
Places
with gun control have fewer murders.
Crap on all you like about “locking
them away didn’t stop the gorillas” – of course it didn’t
but that’s fiction. Fact is it makes the gorillas THINK. They don’t
get to just casually reach for a gun and blow someone away – they have to
get over an obstacle (that being they don’t easily have a gun on hand).
I don’t know what the fuck they put
in the water over there to brainwash you guys but blowing your bugle about
rights (to MURDER people?!?!?) and philosophies does not change this:
Places with gun control have fewer murders.
In other words, while Caesar did not
completely STOP murders he probably saved a few zillion lives by locking those
weapons away. He didn’t stop ALDO because Aldo was a murderous bastard
and NOBODY had a chance against Aldo…except that he might have murdered a
whole lot MORE people if he strapped one on from age 15 and if you can’t
see that then you have been brainwashed.
And by the way, never once have I said
that the US
should follow suit.
I have just said one thing and it’s
true.
Places
with gun control have fewer murders.
Anyway, enough. As T said, “that’s
my 20 cents and I won’t say any more on the subject”.
If anyone wants to continue this thread, I’d
suggest we start a Yahoo! Group entitled “Don’t Take Your Guns To
Town”.

***Excellent point, T. Imagine how differently things would've gone
down had Cornelius NOT brought along any guns!
Taylor wouldn't have
had one to use when Zaius and the Gorillas showed up: they ALL
would've been arrested by the ARMED gorillas. Zaius wouldn't have
been FORCED to order the gorillas to withdraw... FORCED to accompany
the "heretics" into the Cave to confront the EVIDENCE that had been
dug up proving Orthodoxy to be wrong... FORCED to finally admit that
Cornelius was RIGHT.
Taylor would
never have had a chance to flee to freedom, to live in
the jungle beyond the Forbidden Zone that Zaius seemed to believe
existed.
Like it or not, Taylor 's
access to a Gun leveled the playing field.
And, after his prior experiences -- including having been shot in the
throat by a gorilla's rifle-blast -- who can BLAME him for wanting
one of Cornelius' guns?!
There've been some rancorous posts here lately about the Gun Control
issue, and it would be nice if there were a simple solution to the
problem of Gun-related violence. Not that I'm a big Michael Moore
fan, but his "BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE" movie shows the difference
between Canadian and American society when it comes to Gun Violence.
Canadian gun ownership isn't super-restricted as it is in some
European countries... yet Gun-related violence in the
USA is far
higher than in Canada .
Moore doesn't blame the guns solely for the
high rate of death-by-gun in America :
he blames the Fear-Mongering
Media and the paranoid mindset imposed on Americans by the powers-
that-be.
There is a murderousness in America
that has long been a problem, and
it hasn't always involved Guns. Many a "nigger" was lynched in
America
with nary a gun involved: all they needed was a rope and a
tree. Hell, they used to proudly take PHOTOS of a lynching, with a
bunch of white "good-ol'-boys" posing next to a murdered negro still
hanging dead from a tall branch -- sending them through the mail as
POSTCARDS.
The problem is Hate and Violence and Murder. If the black victims of
race-based violence had been armed, too, there would have been fewer
successful lynchings. I've heard that access to guns WAS restricted
throughout the South, especially -- Whites could buy 'em, but Blacks
weren't allowed to. Just as they weren't allowed to drink from the
same drinking fountains or go to the same schools.
In Switzerland ,
gun-ownership is REQUIRED. And how many gun-related
murders do we hear about from Switzerland ?
Virtually nil. In order to
maintain their freedom and their neutrality, the Swiss government
mandates that every family own and maintain guns. They know that if
any of their neighbouring nations should think to "annex"
Switzerland -- the way
Hitler annexed Czechoslovakia
and Poland and
France
-- they would pay a bloody price making the attempt. Remember,
Hitler's regime took away gun-ownership, which made it all-the-more
easy for them to turn the Jews into slave labor... and then into
lampshades.
In my opinion, the so-called "War-on-Drugs" serves to keep the
American murder rate artificially high. The would-be Do-gooders who
think that Drugs are "evil" and MUST be kept illegal have helped to
create a ruthless Organized Crime that CAUSES more crime --
especially gun-related murder -- than would exist if
certain "substances" were to be decriminalized, regulated and taxed.
You'd think that they would've learned their mistake after
Prohibition proved to be a disaster... but NO.
Anybody who thinks that banning Guns will magically lower the murder
rate in America just doesn't
understand the problem that exists in
America .
Criminalizing drugs hasn't made America
a drug-free society;
if anything, it has EXACERBATED the problem, and caused other
problems as well. Criminalizing gun-possession won't make
America gun-
free or gun-violence- free. It would make it worse, I think. The
murder-minded people would either find some other weapon to use to
commit murder, or would find a way to get a gun "on the street"
through a black-market supplier.
And -- though many don't like to hear this -- I'm a firm believer
that the Death Penalty IS a deterrent. Any person convicted of a 1st
Degree Murder should be EXECUTED. Whether or not that execution
deters some other chump from committing a murder is irrelevant: it
deters THAT MURDERER BEING EXECUTED from ever committing another
murder! That's deterrence enough!
And, just to placate those who lament the plights of those who were
wrongfully convicted of Murder and executed by the State -- a
horrible thought, I'll grant you -- I suggest that the Death Penalty
be included for Police and Prosecutorial personnel who knowingly try
people for murder despite the evidence not being compelling, or for
ignoring exculpatory evidence (such as DNA evidence discovered or
tested after-the-fact) . If a cop knows that his shoddy police work
helping to execute an innocent person would qualify for HIM to be put
to death, then he might think twice about "pinning" a crime on just
anybody based on a weak "hunch" (or worse). If a prosecutor seeks the
Death Penalty despite the evidence being iffy -- and the Defendant is
found guilty and put to death, and THEN found innocent after-the-
fact -- then that prosecutor should himself be not only stripped of
his job, but executed himself as a murderer. The evidence in any
capital case should be BEYOND ANY AND ALL DOUBT. Conviction without
any death penalty should be beyond any REASONABLE doubt: but when the
death penalty is involved, the State should be ABSOLUTELY SURE that
the Defendant actually did the murder.
Having said all this, I do not own a gun. I've never even held one in
my hand. All the same, if I had a gun, and if some creep tried to
make me a victim of a violent crime... I'd shoot the bastard dead.
Whatever inalienable rights that creep may have been endowed with by
his "Creator" when he was born, he FORFEITED those rights when he
dared to infringe MY rights. If more of my fellow Americans were to
be raised to cherish that principle during their formative years...
made to understand that the possession of their own inalienable
rights goes hand-in-hand with their respect for the rights of
others... maybe the curse of American murderousness would wane.
I think more Americans need to read the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution. They're all about the Rights that make Freedom
not only a cherished blessing but also a Responsibility that makes us
better fellow citizens. Too much of the violence in America's history
has been race-based: the notion being that we're all human underneath
this thin bit of epidermis... all of us part of a family tree that
goes back to a common ancestor, whether you believe that was Adam in
the Garden of Eden or some African "savage" living in the Olduvai
gorge. Our superficial differences shouldn't blind us to our common
humanity. Alas, too often they DO. And that's what the PLANET OF THE
APES films try to tell us.
Patrick
P.S. Did Caesar's locking-up of the Guns in the Armory guarded by
Mandemus "cure" the hatred that the Gorillas felt for Humans? If
Caesar had destroyed the Guns BEFORE his trip to the Forbidden City,
what would the outcome have been when Kolp's army attacked
Ape City ?
How would short-swords, truncheons and nets have fared against Kolp's
armaments?
I don't think that the POTA films are anti-gun. Cornelius "murdered"
the Marine orderly by smashing the food-tray in his face: he didn't
need a Gun to kill him -- not that he intended to kill him, but the
outcome was the same, wasn't it? And Caesar's army in CONQUEST
wouldn't have gotten very far if it weren't for the weapons he had
stockpiled in that warehouse basement. From the few guns and ammo he
had managed to purloin to butcher knives, steak knives, propane
tanks, what-have-you, it was only by being ARMED that they could hope
to prevail against their armed oppressors.

Whether NASA had

what duties an ANSA crew would have.

At the time the film was made, there were no female astronauts at NASA
(at least, none that were slated for the Apollo missions). The job of
astronaut -- back in the late 60's -- was for men only. Stewart's role in
the mission was specified (by Taylor) to be that of a breeder-female, the
"New Eve".

My point is that -- like it or not -- PLANET was about the historic

things). The colonists from England (and elsewhere, but mostly from
England) who fought for Independence -- and achieved it -- soon began
a wave of migration and colonization of the North American continent
westward... kicking the Natives off lands they'd lived on for
thousands of years, forcing them to live on Reservations. .. violating

And this is
relevant because?

There wasn't a woman in the BENEATH ship, serving with Brent under Maddox,
was there? There wasn't a woman along in the ship Virdon commanded.

I got the
impression it was just another acting job and if it hadn't been the success it
was he would never have mentioned the thing ever again.
Neil
That’s what I’m
saying – he wasn’t a big fan of POTA – not that I’d expect him to
be.

I think Neil is saying (politely) "only an American would conclude
this!".
Said very affectionalely of course, but maybe with eyes rolling! ;)

.htmlYup. Greene's is also an ACADEMIC approach - it's a THESIS that he
converted to a novel.
Personally, I think he goes to far. However he's spot on about a lot
of stuff and that's confirmed by directors and writers and I agree he
does make one think.

.htmlCome on, Patrick...I genuinely doubt ANY kids who watched the film in
theaters made ANY connection between the buses in Battle and race
relations. Black/white/purple had nothing to do with it, and never
has. The buses weren't a reference to race relations--they were
scavenged vehicles that held a lot of people. That's all there was to
it, and anyone with any sense at the time knew it.
