Drew,

Someone had mentioned that there was new artwork featuring Cornelius, and this was at the last San Diego Comic Con. I have been unable to find this on the internet and it's driving me ape. Do you know anything about it or where to see a photo of it? I'm really curious now!!

Subject: [PotaDG] OT: Cronenberg to "Fly" again

 

Once again, Fox has enlisted top drawer talent for their sci-fi offerings. They've got Robert Rodriguez to produce a new "Predator", they've got Ridley Scott in his first sci-fi outing in almost 30 years producing (directing?) a prequel to his classic "Alien", and now it's been announced that David Cronenberg is going to write (direct?) a new version of "The Fly". His 1986 remake of that famed story didn't bug me, it's one of my favorite movies.

  Again I ask, what does this mean for Fox's suspiciously silent "Apes" redo? Are we about to hear of the involvement of a big name? Clint Eastwood's "Planet of the Apes", with Hillary Swank as Nova and Morgan Freeman as Dr. Zauis?

"Does your stinkin' paw have 4 fingers or 5? You know, in all the excitement I forgot to count. And since my teeth are the most powerful on this planet and could bite your finger clean off, you gotta ask yourself: Do ya feel lucky, ape?" - - - Clint Eastwood as Dirty Taylor

Look how fabulous my Cornelius sculpt is on a Sideshow body! He's still unpainted but I know that he will be fantastic once I put some paint on him. And...I will probably re-do the outfit sometime down the road...just that I've been a bit busy. I'll let you guys know when I have successfully made a cast of him for anyone interested...but that is sometime down the road...just not now because I've got loads of other things to accomplish.

Sorry to hear that you're having a problem.

I couldn't find any background discussion so assume it was received
like this. Are they denying they sent it out in that condition or that
it could have happened during shipping?

Is there any way you can glue the seam together? A patch on the inside
to hold the two outer edges together? You're good at this kind of
stuff so I'm sure you can think of something you can do to fix it
yourself.

I've been holding out on geting the 40th Anniversary Blue Ray set for
a while, but it's now only $60 (CDN) from amazon.ca. Even better, is
that it's free shipping. Not sure if the free shipping applies to US
citizens, but even so, it may be good deal.

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B001GLX6RQ/

FYI, Amazon runs their different country operations as separate
entities, so the prices often fluctuate greatly between amazon.ca and
amazon.com. I've purchased from both and always check both to see
where I can get the best deal after factoring shipping and currency
exchange.

That's a good question. I wasn't happy with the description on the
site (it doesn't even say that it has 5 discs and includes all the
movies). I sent a inquiry to them pointing out the US version link and
how it has a lot more info and asking if they would add a little more
to the description. I got back a reply that they sometimes do not add
all the info and that they won't do it now, at lest not right away.
But they also said that the picture should be accurate and it is
obviously the 40th with the book. They also said that the return
policy would allow me to return it if turned out not to be what I
wanted. So I buckled and put in the order yesterday.

I can't see it being anything other than the one with the book. But if
you want, I can confirm once I get it. Delivery estimate is 15-20 Oct.

I'm still waiting for Hot Toys. I just sent them a tirade of insults. Maybe I should have gone to the seller directly, but I was looking at the tear and it could not have happened during shipment. The gorilla was hogtied by a thousand twist ties--no way the tear would have resulted from shipment, and in no way can I find fault with the seller. I also sent the seller an e-mail via their website, to notify them of the situation, as was suggested by Shit Toys. Oops...Hot Toys.

I'll let you know what happens.

I hope "alot" of humans buy this. You know, it's been twelve years
since Varese Sarabande released the complete score to PLANET on CD.
Since then there's been technology that can make those old recordings
sound even better. I was hoping there'd be a 40th anniversary
re-release of the original score with such an improvement (and a new
booklet with a better text, fewer flopped pictures, and an original
American poster cover!). Maybe if this sells well, Varese will
consider it.

Gotta ask – how many POTA fans are THAT dedicated they put on the soundtrack CD?

I'll but it, but buggered if I'd bother PLAYING it!

Well, maybe ONCE…

What images go through peoples' heads when they DO plat the soundtrack?

I hope "alot" of humans buy this. You know, it's been twelve years
since Varese Sarabande released the complete score to PLANET on CD.
Since then there's been technology that can make those old recordings
sound even better. I was hoping there'd be a 40th anniversary
re-release of the original score with such an improvement (and a new
booklet with a better text, fewer flopped pictures, and an original
American poster cover!). Maybe if this sells well, Varese will
consider it.

I actually listen to them from time to time. But instead of playing the
CDs, I ripped my entire collection of CDs to high sample rate MP3's and
stuck them all on my home and works computers and now listen to them as
I work. I find that I listen to Beneath more than the others which
surprises myself. The 'March' usually what gets me thinking about it to
start.

As for getting the new Beneath, I may hold out a while. The Beneath
track was always the one that had the highest prices on Ebay but I
patiently waited and eventually got it for about $15. I've now got them
all, including 3 versions POTA and even the Escape bootleg.

Has anyone noticed how the location change between the films actual adds to Virgil's 'multi-lane highway' theory aka our 'altered future' theory? The first two films are in New York, and the later ones are in LA...and so's the bomb. I can't see the mutants carting it all the way accross the country to the other coast. I think it points to a different future, whether or not the situation is the same, with mute humans and dominant apes, or human/ape peace or whatever.

Really? My Ursus didn't have a twist tie on him. Not one. I was really happy with the way he was packaged. Very secure without going overboard with ties, tape, etc. I think my only complaint is that with the helmet off he has that same weird huge bompadore that the DVD Caesar head has... but that's fixed as soon as the helmet goes on. Luckily, I found no tears or other defects. Sorry you of all people (someone who is all about the action figures)got the short end of the stick on this one.

When POTA first hit theaters a large part of the success was because
nobody had seen anything like it in terms of costume and makeup. It
was ground breaking realism as much as it was a good story. And the
third component of that success was the sound score. People forget
that it too was like nothing that had come before it (well as a movie
score anyway). Some people don't appreciate that it won the academy
award for score that year and what an achievement that was.

As a kid, the emphasis for me was the 'look' of the movie. But as I
got older, I quickly learned to appreciate the score just as much.
