I'm surprised that this remake doesn't appear to be all that
different from the original 1969 movie, design wise, just
slicker. I like the way the chimpanzees run and leap a
little more like real chimps. Faking a real animal like an
ape is about the trickiest thing to do in special effects,
because everybody knows what a real ape looks like (as
opposed to a real Ymir or Martian or even a real Whatnot.)
The remake of MIGHTY JOE YOUNG had about the most convincing
one I've seen, king apeman actor Rick Baker in one of his
suits. The fake adult gorillas in CONGO were okay, but the
baby gorilla "star", a robot, was awful. (The mutated
gorillas were cool but again, nobody knew what a mutated
gorilla looked like before that!)

PLANET OF THE APES -- the first movie -- came out when I was
15 and I loved it so much that I saw it 15 times, tape
recorded the soundtrack on little 5-inch reel tapes, and
TYPED OUT ALL THE DIALOG (teaching myself to type the wrong
way, with two fingers, in the process.).

I imagine that youths seeing the oiginal today would think
it bad due to the crude make-up (which won an Oscar at the
time) and the preachiness of some of Rod Serling's dialog,
although that preachiness is exactly what made me so fond of
the movie at age 15.

When they zoomed back from that Statue of Liberty at the end
I was genuinely surprised and filled with dread.

Ah, but few people realize that the 1969 version was *itself*
a remake of Eric von Stroheim's 1921 silent masterpiece,
"Der zukünftige planet der schwarzen Affen", one of his last
few German works before he came to the U.S. Of course, the
Rod Serling writings deleted the negative references to Jews.

heh a movie called 'the future planet of the black apes' would have a

Come to think of it, it really shows how thorough my
politically-correct hyper-seattle-liberal upbrining was: it never
even crossed my mind before to see Planet of the Apes as a veiled
nightmare vision of a future world run by negroes.

It's so obvious once you see it. The intellectual ruling class, Dr.
Zaius and his class, are white apes. The darkest apes are the brutish
soldier class.

Duh I guess. The fish is the last one to notice the water.

No, you got it all wrong. Apes=Jews. Specifically, the Rothschilds.
The novel was written by some Frog and that plays much better over there
where they can safely blame the Jews for everything and not themselves.

Hitchcock's "The Birds" was the one about negroes!

Me too - just to think that those "damned, dirty apes" built their OWN
STATUE OF LIBERTY, *NOT* of an Ape Lady Liberty, but of a HUMAN Lady
Liberty, JUST TO MOCK the poor, helpless, mute human savage animals.

I mean, REALLY! Harumph!

I find this statement mildy disingenuous. All too many of us know all too
WELL about the mutated apes. Many of us were BORN of same. That's how you
get your lungs fully inflated as a baby. You look up and see your
progentitors looking down into yer crib, realize what the Deal is and you
scream like a mofo. True to form, they always thought it was because I was
hungry or crap-drawered. No, it was budding horror.

Yeah, me too, but its lost it luster lately. I feel the same way when I
look out the front window and see the bus roll by, full of slope-brows,
10-Percenters and general Arkie loin-spew. DAMN you, DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
Not the fun SubGenius one, either, I mean the really HOT one with the
rocks and pitchforks. That Hell has a Sis D, but there are cobras where
the nipples would otherwise be.

One major point in the original "Ape" movie's favor: They did Pierre
Boulez's book justice. But then, these days, so much ends up with someone
screaming and running away, even an episode of Martha Stewart. That scary
droid bitch.

Supposedly during production, at lunch, the actors dressed as orangutans ate
and hung around with one another, the gorilla-clad kept to themselves, too,
as did the chimpanzees.
They continued doing so even after they became aware they were doing it at
all.

I don't see anything strange in that. I still prefer to eat lunch
with men dressed as gorillas, when possible. As long as it's not
mating season. With subgeniuses around it's -always- mating season.

Nothing so odd about that. The orangs were all homos, the chimps
Rosicrucians and the gorillas former club bouncers. Me no mix, bad juju.
