Oh yeah, like I said. I'm not mad or offended in any way. Just wanted to say that I am an example of someone who does really enjoy soundtrack albums as much as other music depending on my mood. When I was younger & enjoyed mellowing out to more than just a beer or two there were many a night I would lay in a chair with the lights down & listen to whatever albums I acquired searching the local flea markets & good wills. The Omen, the Warriors, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, the Last Starfighter, the Black Hole, Theater of Blood.... there were many instrumental albums I would listen to from begining to end & love every minute of it.


But then again, I will admit I'm a strange one.
Muhahahahahahahaha!!!!

...but to justfy your idea that its not normal to enjoy these things as regular entertainment. I was laying down listening to that Jeff Wayne Space Shuttle Planet of the Apes album while reading the comics I got the other day when my girlfriend came home. She stood in the doorway of our bedroom for a while before she started laughing & walked away saying "what the Hell is wrong with you?"

You'd be surprised how often I hear that.
Muhahahahahahaha!!!!

Oh yeah, like I said. I'm not mad or offended in any way. Just wanted to say that I am an example of someone who does really enjoy soundtrack albums as much as other music depending on my mood. When I was younger & enjoyed mellowing out to more than just a beer or two there were many a night I would lay in a chair with the lights down & listen to whatever albums I acquired searching the local flea markets & good wills. The Omen, the Warriors, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, the Last Starfighter, the Black Hole, Theater of Blood.... there were many instrumental albums I would listen to from begining to end & love every minute of it.

But then again, I will admit I'm a strange one.
Muhahahahahahahaha! !!!

 The first of Fox's revamped sci-fi classics (which will presumably include a new POTA) is at the starting gate. "Predators" has signed Adrien Brody to go where Ah-nuld didn't fear to tread.
 What? No muscle man like Ah-nuld (or Marky Mark)? Could this be clearing the way for Woody Allen to face off against Dr. Zauis?

M.I.A. indeed!

I recently spoke to a fellow at Fox (whom I was referred to by Scott Frank’s office), asking if he could tell me anything and he said:

 

“Just that this project is in WAY too early development to say ANYTHING!”

 

Read between the lines.  Looks like it’s all too hard again….

It's an interesting idea though, that the change could have resulted in the bomb being stored elsewhere. But if it's not hinted at anywhere, why do we generally assume BATTLE was on the West coast? Is it just because ESCAPE was on the West coast? Armando & Caesar couldn't travel croos-country in the 18 years between? I also noticed, reading the BATTLE scripts recently, that the ruined city is called Modern City - not 'a modern city' but 'Modern City', if that adds anything to the theories. Seems like a rubbish name for a city though.

It's a fascinating photo, but I thought Heston said that 'Dead Stewart' was played by an old lady in makeup? And this must be days/weeks before they filmed her scenes, judging by Heston and Hunter's costumes. Spare head next to Zira?

 Looks like Fox is cracking the books. They've got a production of "Gulliver's Travels" (starring Jack Black) in the pipeline (what are they smoking in that pipeline?) and now they plan to do "'300'-like" retelling of the Moses story, with a "'Braveheart' feel". I think it's fair to say that Charlton Heston is the most famous screen Moses and it's one of his signature roles (so ON TOPIC!). The film is being produced by Peter Chernin, who ran Fox forever and now has a golden parachute production deal with them.
 Also in Fox news, Bryan Singer says he's in talks with Fox to return to the "X-Men" fold. Of those flicks, his are generally considered the best. He says he likes to "trick audiences into thinking they're seeing fireworks, but they're learning about themselves and listening to what I have to say". He adds: "The excitement about working in science fiction and fantasy is - the stories, if they are good, are about the human condition". Sounds similar to something Franklin Schaffner said about POTA. Maybe if "X-Men" doesn't work out, Singer can walk down the hall and consider the new POTA. It could do worse.

The image on the back cover is the same image used on the CD for the "Conquest/Battle" combo.  I believe it is Caesar with fire in the background.  Just my opinion.

Here's a good seller on ebay that makes photos into posters. Bought a POTA Photo Poster the other day and the final product is really well made.
The posters are the $24.99 items. A lot of POTA Photo Posters to choose from.

Great and awesome fantastic news, guys (and girls)!! I just received in my paws the replacement vest. It's taken since early September for them to fix this. I guess it was a misunderstanding on their part. They sent me the regular reply e-mail, "sorry we can't replace the item for you since your receipt is over 30 days old" when I asked them to repair the vest. They did not realize that my receipt was for a prepurchase I had made in December 2008 and the Captain was not delivered until the end of July 2009. Well, hearing that e-mail reply from Hot Toys just made me livid. I'm so glad that they can fix it. You always hear about great customer service from Hot Toys, and I was getting the short end of the stick and just not a happy chimp until it got fixed.

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.

Subject: OT: "X-Men" marks the spot for Fox
.html
.html
 The producer of the "X-Men" movies has provided an update and since this is Fox's first love I thought I'd give a quick scorecard. I'm no "X-Men" fan but this stuff is relevant. A new POTA will have to walk through the "X-Men" mine field.
 
 "Wolverine 2": Wolverine is still to be reckoned with even though folks seemed disappointed with the last one. This one takes place, and will probably be filmed in, Japan. This is the story they wanted to do for "Wolverine 1" but Tom Rothman insisted on an origin story. This movie looks to be next.
 
 ""X-Men: First Class": The early days of the characters in school, being compared to the "darker" "Harry Potter" movies. Don't know if there's plans for Patrick Stewart to be in this. I think this is the one original director Bryan Singer is looking at. Right now it's still being written (and we know how that goes!)
 
 "Deadpool": A spin-off movie franchise for the guy who was introduced in "Wolverine". Fans complained about his portrayal in that, but this will be a complete reboot, described as "a dark, snarky, very funny movie"; it's "the hardest story to tell". He keeps a woman at his place and regularly tortures her, so it sounds different.
 
 "Magneto": This has been long in development, the origin story of the "X-Men" villain. Deals with Nazi concentration camps. This is the least likely of the movies to get made.
 
 
 And of course these could all have sequels. And Fox is rebooting "Fantastic 4". Everybody's superhero crazy. I've heard that Fox has so many franchises in development they've had to expand their licensing department beyond what it's already been. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

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.

 It was bad enough that James Naughton is the spokesman for the sex aid Cialis. Now I saw an ad of Lee Majors hawking, no joke, the Lee Majors "bionic" hearing aid.
 I can still remember fighting with my friends over whether we'd watch the POTA TV show or "The Six Million Dollar Man". Time has gone too fast.  : (

Great and awesome fantastic news, guys (and girls)!!  I just received in my paws the replacement vest.  It's taken since early September for them to fix this.  I guess it was a misunderstanding on their part.  They sent me the regular reply e-mail, "sorry we can't replace the item for you since your receipt is over 30 days old" when I asked them to repair the vest.  They did not realize that my receipt was for a prepurchase I had made in December 2008 and the Captain was not delivered until the end of July 2009.  Well, hearing that e-mail reply from Hot Toys just made me livid.  I'm so glad that they can fix it.  You always hear about great customer service from Hot Toys, and I was getting the short end of the stick and just not a happy chimp until it got fixed.

Filing a report of the POTA screening I saw yesterday on the big screen in Durham, NC! Excellent print and decent sound! Only about 30 people in attendance on a dreary afternoon....the 2nd of three showings over the weekend. there would have been one more but poor Rory had car troubles and couldn't make it! It was part of an "Escapism Film Festival". A very quiet crowd....only laughs came at Chuck's "serious" monologues....("I feel...lonely...") and the hear no evil, see no evil bit.

as always when I see it on the screen i notice a few things I've never noticed before......one is behind Taylor at the beginning when he is recording his log, there is what looks like a reel to reel tap spinning....wonder if that is supposed to be recording him or was it just put in to look "technical"

and I know we have discussed this before but I really think they may have put a gorilla mask on the female at the funeral. she's wearing green yet with a plum tunic but she really looked like a gorilla to me....

and one continuity problem.....when Taylor is brought into the hearing, he should be soaked from the water hose but he is dry.....

am including pics of what I noticed and a collage of the ticket stub, brochure and "marquee"

Here's the status of Ashton's gorilla pullover. I did the hairing up on a pullover spandex hood, and attached Apemania's kid-sized gorilla foam latex appliance with liquid latex. I also painted it up and had to add browns so that it would photograph better. I have the neck area to do still. Almost done, but not quite..

I cut out the hieroglyph in leather--it's two layers thick, or actually 3 after I glued down the brown leather on top. Sprayed it down with 3M adhesive. Worked the brown leather on top, especially into the crevices with a butterknife...made sure I had enough of the brown leather to cover the edges of the hieroglyph, and sprayed that down with more 3M and slapped it on the back of the glove.
Cutting out the hieroglyph took longer than you would think it would take. And you have to make two that match. Apemania sells the gloves, too. It costs $175 before s/h.

I got in touch with Derek (nice guy!), who filmed that Apes show:

"The show was on Plymouth Hoe in, I think, 1975 though it could have been 1976. Planet of the Apes was on the tv at the time and there was a craze for the programme. The apes had been due to appear at Wadebridge in Cornwall but this show was cancelled for some reason, maybe the weather. The show on the Hoe featured jousting in the first half and then the apes came on for the second part of the show. They used the old Hoe Theatre, now gone, to put on their costumes and masks. I remember that there was also a celebrity from the tv show, 'Crossroads' there but I can't remember her name. I filmed as much as I could and then, as the apes were going back to the Hoe Theatre to change, I caught up with them and they posed for some photos. They were great pictures, Urko held his rifle in the air, but unfortunately, they were lost or thrown away many years ago. Wish I still had them."

Here's the jousting he's talking about. I suddenly realised while watching it that I was standing on that very spot only 2 months ago. Didn't see any apes though.

Now I'll just wait for someone to make a joke about 'the old hoe'... :-0

Again I’m sure there’s a few Englishmen (old hoes?) not in the DG who will love to see this so I’ll forward it on to a couple of other groups too.

 

Could you ask him about his photos – does he have ANY stills?  Any other paraphernalia?  Would love to get in a late article on this for the ForbiddenZine….

Here's the jousting he's talking about. I suddenly realised while watching it that I was standing on that very spot only 2 months ago. Didn't see any apes though.

I got in touch with Derek (nice guy!), who filmed that Apes show:

"The show was on Plymouth Hoe in, I think, 1975 though it could have been 1976. Planet of the Apes was on the tv at the time and there was a craze for the programme. The apes had been due to appear at Wadebridge in Cornwall but this show was cancelled for some reason, maybe the weather.
