Jodorowsky's "Dune" has always looked like an wretched hot mess. Every year or two you see an article about "The Dune You Never Saw" but the fact is that Jodorowsky would have butchered the story far worse than anything David Lynch could have ever imagined. I like Giger's work too, but as someone who loved the Dune…

I hope they don't try to retread the Col. Taylor story to soon in a RotPOTA sequel. "Astronaut returns, meets smart apes" has been told over and over in the apes series, lets have some new stories for a while.

This talk of Planet 2001 inspired me to go look at the Wikipedia entry about that movie, and what I found really interesting was the original pitch for a reboot of the franchise: [en.wikipedia.org]

I'm a big-time apes fan and I can't bear to watch the animated series. I did however watch reruns of it when I was a kid, and loved it.

That doesn't really explain why when Marky Mark lands in DC, the Lincoln memorial has been replaced with Thade... or why the cop cars look like they were ripped out of 1985.

Yeah I guess the TV show could be after Planet, but I don't think it really alters the circularity of the story. I always viewed the presence of dogs and cats in the TV show as a continuity error or laziness on the part of a low budget TV production by people who weren't being very careful about such things. I think…

I don't believe this timeline is right. The Apes universe has a circular timeline but not branched, except for the reboot/re-imaginings. The correct timeline is Planet -> Beneath -> Escape -> Conquest -> Battle -> TV Series -> Planet. Just because Battle shows humans and apes living in harmony at the end, doesn't mean…

Its been a long time since I read the book, but it doesn't really have colonialism or imperialism as its theme; instead the theme is intellectual laziness. As I recall there is some discussion in the book about how the humans became dependent on the apes, and eventually the apes were able to revolt. However, the apes…

In one shot it shows a mounted police officer being attacked by a gorilla. I hope for the love of all that is holy that the gorilla rips the rifle out of his hands, jumps on the horse, and starts chasing humans through the bushes.

I think I've seen these for sale at Brookstone.
