Can you tell I took this with my MOTOSLVR? Sheesh...BLURRY! In case you're curious, that's me and the Lawgiver from the original (only one that matters) Planet of the Apes franchise. Can you believe that he was played by fucking John Huston? Yeah, THAT John Huston!! That's a little bit like Orson Welles playing Unicron in the original (only one that matters) Transformers The Movie or Alec Guinness playing Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original two (only ones that matter) Star Wars films.

[incredulous] "A planet where ape evolved from man?!?"
ReplyDeleteSay what you will about Heston, but he frickin' owned that movie. Remember the seen with the paper airplane? Badass! The scene with the doll in the cave . . .
Great flick. Definitely did not need "reimagining." Maybe a clean print, remixed sound, and broad rerelease, but not a crappy remake (though the remake had it's plusses! Helena Bonham Carter for one!)
Helena Bonham Carter?? She's the director's wife! Plus, she was under all that make up!! Personally, I'll take Kim Hunter ANY day. ;) (And Linda Harrison--YOWZA! Hey, was there even a "Nova" character in the remake? I have no recollection of one...)
