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

Speaking of Rude Boy...

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.

When it comes to movies i think i have seen a few however what i
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

Also in the eighty's here in the U.K the worst thing was knifes if
carried, guns are and where very few about.
There are still not many about today.
In the eighty's bear glasses and the traditional glasgow kiss ( head
butt) was used alot

I thought it was in your constituion that you have the right to have
carry guns, here in the U.K its the law you dont have any.
However i feel it's your right to protect yourself and property.
While there are terrorists at large what can you do?
A little old lady was being robbed in her home , she heard the noise
came down stairs hit him over the head with a vase.
He took her to court and won?
Makes sense don't it?

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.

Ultimately Larson won out and even brought on Hatch to act in the new

  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!

All I know is that I watched it back when it was originally on and thought it was a load of c**p, I never did like it and as someone else here mentioned it was all about cashing in on the popularity of Star Wars at the time.
I have never understood how anyone could believe the original series was a classic, that's just ludicrous!
 
I also sat through a few of the episodes of the 'new' version and it bored the pants off me!

I only caught the end of that when it was shown on TV here
unfortunately. I was at a festival here last summer and looked into a
tent where two old guys were doing a question-and-answer interview. I
must have kept moving to look for a cup of cold coffee somewhere, but
only discovered the next day it was Mick Jones (and Tony James from
Generation X and, um, Sigue Sigue Sputnik). Really have to pay more

I 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'.

Absolutely – just curious because you and I usually like the same films (and TV Shows).

 

Wondering if there are any more POTA fans who like similar stuff.

How big a list do you want? A few I would add: Apocalypse Now (original not Redux), The Good, the Bad and The Ugly, O' Lucky Man, Once Upon A Time In America, A Clockwork Orange, All Quiet On The Western Front (original), Thing To Come... the list could go on forever, and of course is totally subjective.

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!

Subject: [PotaDG] "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)?

        Hey Wayne, just a suggestion - instead of sending your pictures through with the emails you may want to create a folder and upload them to the Group's Photos ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PotaDG/photos/album/0/list) or Files (http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/PotaDG/files/) sections.
        Some members don't get individual emails from the group and pictures aren't stored in the daily digests, plus you won't be clogging up member's email boxes.

        No worries Wayne, glad to be of help. If you do decide to go with the uploading there is a little box on the upload page that you can tick and an automatic message will be sent to the Group to let everyone know that you've uploaded a picture.
         
        If you have any problems just let me know and thanks for sharing your stuff with the Group, there's been some interesting stuff so far!

          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 like them).

        Blah blah blah.

         

        You can hide my point in horse shit T but the point is valid.

         

        Look at any city in the US with the same population.

         

        I don’t think you’re a fool but you lie to yourself on this topic.

        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.

        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.

        This is directed to the Fox Suits and not 

        anyone here on the group as a fan.

         

        So what they're saying is,

        "We don't like the fans.

        We don't like you, but we

        like your money."  So, what

        they're saying is, "Screw you."

        So what I'm saying it, Fuck you!

        Are you reading this Fox?  Are you?

        Good.  I know you think I'm and idiot.

        I do.  But I KNOW you are, collectively.

        By the way, I didn't buy your lame Head.

        And I didn't buy your Blu-Rays.  Why?

        Because I'm NOT An Idiot!  I'll keep MY

        money.  MY money.  NOT yours!  I only

        hope the government learns the same lesson

        I'm teaching here today.  MY money, not yours.

        Oh, and again, FUCK YOU!  FUCK YOU VERY MUCH!

        Oh, and IF you want to hire me to fix your shit, FUCK YOU!

        You couldn't afford me.  Why? Because I'd want all the money

        I ever gave you back!  That's one hell of a Pile O' Cash.  Bitches!

        Okay, you take any two US cities with the same

        with strict gun conrtol and you'll find many times

        less murder in the Right-To-Carry city.  Oh wait,

        you don't have to.  Washington DC already did.

        Open your eyes.

         

        If someone takes away your right to carry a weapon they would be doing so to attempt to do something good about the murder rate.

         

        The absolutely paranoid rubbish you spout here is patently absurd.

         

        And yes I can take away your rights.  I can boot your arse out of this group any time.

        The groups are as close as you get to a fan base.

          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).

        Personally, I watch very few Hollywood movies. The last movie I saw
        in the cinema was 'The Baader-Mienhof Complex' and I'm working my way
        through (and really loving) the films of Werner Herzog. I find most
        (but not all) of the big movies of recent times just cliche-ed and by
        formula. That said (and trying to sound less pretentious) I'll watch
        as many sci-fi B-movies from the 50's, 60's 70's as I can, and I'm
        looking forward to seeing Watchmen in 2 weeks time, the trailers look
        great.

        Australia and UK very similar.

         

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

         

        Rifles – difficult, less so if you own a rural property.

        All this discussion about whether he liked it or not got me thinking about jobs.  Do most of us go back and visit our past employers?  Do we check out the shop to see how it's doing?  I don't think so.  Heston might've considered his job(actor) like that.  He did it.  He got paid.  He moved on.

        *** 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.

        Cornelius didn't even think he would even need guns on the trip, but
        he still brought the best. And even though he said he wanted one so

        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 career, but he seemed a genuine fan.

        All this discussion about whether he liked it or not got me thinking about jobs.  Do most of us go back and visit our past employers?  Do we check out the shop to see how it's doing?  I don't think so.  Heston might've considered his job(actor) like that.  He did it.  He got paid.  He moved on.

        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.

        HESTON WAS COMMANDING LARGE PAY PACKETS,not just for P.O.T.A but four
        films previously had been big box office smash's.
        Roddy however , enen though he was a good actor never commanded the
        same pay scale.
        But to stay and do most of the films and t.v series he must have had
        some love for it.
        It takes more dedecation to get made up for all that filming, in time
        it must have taken up about 3 years of is life.

        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".

        Yup. 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.

        Come 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.
