The way I see it is that Fox has had a pretty bad run of late (I just watched the "reimagining" of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL -- what a piece of nothing!) and I'll bet heads are soon to role, so I'm not expecting this APES redux to ever see the light.

Just a feeling I have.

Subject: [PotaDG] Face casts

Probably a stupid question, but....
If I was a person with a big bushy beard and I wanted to attempt to take a cast of my face for the purpose of trying to make some appliances, should I do it at a time when I might be clean-shaven? And would I be able then to use that appliance if I had my beard grown back? Like I said, maybe a stupid question but if any of the appliance people on here have any advice or experience I'd be grateful.

I found out what this is:
http://www.google. com/profiles/ 1002314892683691 18083

The site identifies the author as: Andrew E. C. Gaska, Creative Director/CEO at BLAM! Ventures, Setauket, NY, Writer: Excipio--Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes Illustrated Novella

I'm looking into finding additional information about this and have put out feelers to BLAM! and Mr. Gaska. I'll let the groups know if I learn anything.

I too had a couple that came up missing.

Fellow facebook'er Graham found a facebook group dedicated to LUG. LUG
was the publisher that put out the Apes mags in France. The one with
all those weird covers.
The group members are all french (with the exception of Graham) but
I'm fully biligual so when I have a few minutes I'm going to craft a
query to put to the group members there to see if I can gleem more
info on how the POTA issues came to have such odd covers. If I get
anything new I'll be posting here. I wouldn't get too excited right
away as there was a lot of other titles the publisher put out
including a lot of other Marvel licensed variants. The group may just
be a bunch of people who were more into the other titles or just a
group that enjoyed the mags without know more about the historical
aspects. But the group discription provided a pretty decent summary of
the company itself so perhaps there is an old 'insider' connection.

Wish me luck

But things aren't as black-and-white as they might seem from some distance away. In Northern Ireland there are a million people violently opposed to being ruled by what they see as (and what, in fairness, WAS until about 15 years ago) a very Roman Catholic-oriented government. Any sudden reunification of Ireland would provoke an uprising by them at least as bad as 'the Troubles' of the last 40 years, no question. As to whether or not these people would be justified in their actions, I can't honestly say. They're people who's ancestors have lived in Ireland for about 300 to 400 years (nearly as long as white people in North America?). The reasons their ancestors arrived can't be justified by today's standards, and neither can the English conquest of other countries, but these are the circumstances our generation have inherited from our forefathers. And perhaps the will of the majority in all-Ireland should have outweighed the fears of the anti-independence minority? Perhaps, but again this is the situation we've inherited from the bad decisions made centuries ago. There's no quick fix to the problems in Northern Ireland. The end result of the IRA's 30-year 'war' - regional self-government - is roughly the same as what Scotland and Wales have achieved without 3000 deaths, through the democratic process. I'm an Irish person who's English surname and protestant upbringing show my English/colonist ancestry, but who, living in the Republic, had Irish nationalist instincts until turned off narrow, tribal patriotism by what it was being used to justify in the North. I can't see how bit makes much difference at all, whether the people there pay their taxes to a smug British government or to a corrupt Irish government, the standard of living is much the same these days. The mail-boxes might be painted a different colour but the grass is still green, it's all just superficial differances really and not worth another life being wasted.

Let the English stay in England, the Irish stay in Ireland, and they can both be good neighbours to each other, rather than one being an Occupier and the other being Occupied. If the American people had and have the right for Self-Governance, then surely the Irish do, too. Every individual has the right to go about his/her life without some government -- be it their own or some foreign one -- interfering with them. When any government DOES interfere -- either with their own people's rights or with the rights of other people living in other nations -- it should expect a response they might not like.

When's a good time to get a few people online at the same time?

Does anyone have particular set times they post or read the group?

Could all members please change the subject heading to "Now is a great time for me" and post that so we can see if there's a time when a few members get on at the same time?

As soon as we establish this, Neil and I will reveal the fully coloured, re-written Planet of the Apes BEGINS (17 pages). Many thanks to Rich Handley, Greg P, Graham Hill, John Z Davis, Moxy and Cougar for their comments. Special thanks to Ty Templeton who gave the opinion of someone who has been in the business for a long time.

I hope it's not too much to ask you to respond to this.

So Terry is that now?

If you can actually post to the group at the time I can wee what time it is by my computer (hoping YAHOO! delivers at the right time) and use that to convert.

Subject: [PotaDG] Now Is A Great Time For Meþ

OK I know that not everybody is a late night person

but i think many people on here are

 

USA/Canada has about a 3 hour time period from west to east

I am basically in the middle time zone so everyone is usually 1 hour before or 1 hour after me more or less

 

So I think Michael is 16 hours later than me

SO presumably schedule will work like this more or less

 

Los Angeles CA west USA   9:00 pm

Saskatoon SK Canada is same as Montana USA   10:00 pm    1 hour later than Los Angeles

Detroit MI to New York east USA  12:00 am midnight      3 hours later than Los Angeles

London England    5:00 am (next day)          8 hours later than Los Angeles

Perth Australia      12:00 pm (next day)        15 hours later than Los Angeles

Sydney Australia    2:00 pm (next day)         17 hours later than Los Angeles

 

This general schedule shows us thats its fairly good for USA/Canada to talk late evenings to Australia in the next early afternoons

England/Europe will all be sleeping during this time

 

My vote to catch people would be to try and tackle Los Angeles 9:00pm time to work for most others

If it is meant to be that way how come the ship is just above the lake on the top right panel but the last panel on the page has it entering Earth's atmosphere, doesn't make sense. And 2 panels before that it has already come through the clouds (though it's going UP through them if it was meant to be printed that way!) I'm sure they stuffed up and printed it upside down.

If you don't mind waiting a couple of days Rob I've got a set of six "taller" ones still carded which I could photo and put in the files.

I've also got a couple of the smaller / squatter ones, loose I could photo but not sure if I still have all the weapons for those.

As I say it'll be a couple of days before I'll get to it.

Graham.

Fade to Black: Ending the debate
Burton's `Apes' remake not as bad as you might think

Fade To Black
Throughout the pages of the Arts section over the past few weeks, there has been much ado over remakes, reboots, and re-imaginings – whatever name you'd like to brand them with or whichever type you'd like to concentrate on, they're all products that have a good deal more to lose than the average picture. If a remade film bombs, the damage has the potential to be twofold: fans of the original will be upset and potential fans with tabula rasa toward the franchise will be forever soured (even worse, if the director of the original is involved, this could spell disaster for his or her future).

Allow me, however, to play the devil's advocate for a few hundred words here. A few weeks back, I had mentioned liking Tim Burton's 2001 remake of "Planet of the Apes." I'm not digging this up because the flack I received for it or as a last ditch attempt at defending myself. I bring it up to defend what Burton did in the context of producing what I believe a remake should be.

To begin with, the premise of the original "Planet of the Apes" saw a lost team of human astronauts crash landing on a strange planet ruled by apes who can talk and have organized society. A few verbal spats here, a few net-captures there, and Charlton Heston finds himself on a beach, brought to his knees, screaming "Damn you all to hell!" at the top of his lungs.

When Burton was faced with the challenge of retelling this story, he chose to put a radical spin on the idea that (spoiler alert) the "planet of the apes" was actually a post-nuclear holocaust Earth. The original and the remake have remarkably similar first and second acts (minus the more futuristic look of the human spaceship in the beginning of the Burton film) and are only truly separated by their final, "shocking" endings.

Here's where I differ from most – Burton's ending is better. I won't spoil it in these pages except to say that it's a two-parter: there's the initial "holy ****!" moment, which is later followed by a small, slightly comical kicker, both of which stack up more strongly against the original's.

Once again, this isn't an attempt to put down the original or its ending, but to laud what Burton did in terms of how to approach a remake. Burton brought something new to the table and updated it for new generations by thickening the narrative rather than streamlining it.

This opposite end of the spectrum is Gus Van Sant's 1998 shot-for-shot remake of Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller "Psycho." Borrowing almost directly from Hitchcock's cinematography in certain scenes and filling out the cast with cookie cutter prints of the original actors, "Psycho" is literally a "re-make." The excuse was made that it was "updated" for a new generation, which translates into color photography rather than black and white and dollar amounts being updated for inflation over the past four decades. Other than those two factors, the only thing worth noting is that it showcases Vince Vaughn before people knew him as Owen Wilson's co-star.

I'm not advocating a mentality of "source material be damned" (there was an awful lot of negative sentiment around The Towerlight office about the recent horrendous film adaptation of "Dragonball" ). I simply think it benefits any artist to not feel too tethered to a source material and take strides to add a bit of themselves to their adaption.

OK – I swear that's the last talk of remakes (at least from me) for a good, long time.
