OK, So why was earth run by apes, at the end of T.Burtons 'P

[leebo]

As far as the fire theory, thats a big gamble to take if you're not sure it will open the door b4 you die from smoke.

Another observation:

I got a kick out of Heston, even in an ape outfit, pushing his NRA beliefs.

[tigerwolf]

true, then again a fire could be started by accident.
Ya never know.

oh for those not familiar heston plays thade's father in
the movie.

[buzzinhornets]

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry I started this thread. OK, I got it, no one knows why the movie ended that way. My email box gets flooded when you guys keep answering this post. Please, lets let this one die. RIP.

O that was the last thing you should have said....you should turn off the auto-email feature...because now even more people wil respond just fill up your box..LOL

[tigerwolf]

ya know if you go to your original message, click edit, then you can turn off the notify by e-mail feature.

Though I now have this image of a man walking over turning on his computer, in a pleasant mood, goes grabs a cup of coffee while the system boots, types in his password for his e-mail and spits coffee all over the screen when he sees how many messages he has from one simple question.

[Xanadu]

Am I the only one who noticed that THADE's name was written on the plaque above the Abe Lincoln statue at the end? It's quite obvious what happened IMO...

Why is everyone ok with the whole back and forth in time through an elecrtomagnetic storm?

"Am I the only one who noticed that THADE's name was written on the plaque above the Abe Lincoln statue at the end?"

Had you read the thread you would see that everyone knows this....but thanks for adding to his email box..LOL

[leebo]

Thade has an email address???

[Kdiddy]

You didnt know??

Thade@screwhistoryup.com

[mijman]

Doesn't it bother anyone, that the ONLY one who understood the movie completely was Burton?

Hey, here's another possibility, just for the sake of filling email boxes, that is COMPLETELY MADE UP JUST NOW BY ME
Originally, the humans from the APE world, fled in a passing spaceship that Burton's Martians were flying, went through time, landed on Earth and started the Human race millions of years ago, but now that they're freed from the tyranny of the Apes, they don't leave. Leaving Apes to gain control of Earth. Perhaps it's a different, more peaceful Thade which saved earth (from Burton's martians). After all, how many people have there been named Washington and Lincoln?
This , of course, leaves Marky mark with no other alternative, but to go BACK to the POA and stop himself from interfereing in the first place, as Thade's right hand...er...paw...extremity man. Marky swims to the bottom of the lake, retrieves his crashed pod (which was undamaged because all the components were sealed off from the rigors of space/water) flies around, crashes it on the Marky from the first movie's head. Poof! They both vanish. Problem solved. Except that when lab monkey arrives in HIS pod, Thade steals it and goes to earth anyway, but this time with no Marky to stop him. Damn.
It makes as much sense as any of the movies that get made in Hollywood...more than Godzilla anyway.

Bottom Line. First movie with Heston was the daddy. All the sci-fi stuff is great but Heston's liners are the killer edge!!
"It's a Madhouse!...A Madhouse!" (getting hosed down in cage)
"You blew it all up!...Damn you all!...Damn you all to Hell!" (at the end. Statue of Liberty)
No one does it better than Heston. I liked the new movie but it's only half the movie the first one was. All the sequels to the first movie sucked (my opinion). Leave a great great classic sci-fi movie alone and never watch the sequels or the remake ever again.

Another flick with GREAT (funny) one-liners is Aliens. Bill Paxton is hilarious.

Does this apply to Star Wars and The Phantom Menace? And if so, which is the sequel that sucks?

[bilbogod]

You know that good old Arnie, actually auditioned for the main part in the apes movie. Seems like one of the producers had seen Conan and thought better of it
Bill Paxton was even funnier in his one liner as the tramp in the first Terminator film "What the F@8*"<IMG SRC="/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

The year is now 3001 and the controversy over the ending of the movie "planet of the apes" produced in 2001 still rages on. We keep manipulating the dna for tim burton hoping to get a clone that will explain instead of continuing to say "it makes sense to me". On a side note, the apes and humans are getting along fairly well, after the war of 2050, where many of both species were considerably deminished, we found co-existing the best way to survive this heating up planet. The rain forests have overtaken much of earth, its beautiful. Some astrologer dude was talking about a massive asteroid heading straight for earth, they were talking about pulling bruce willis's dna and cloning it, just in case he's right. Have a great day.

ember:
I was referring to POA with Heston in that particular statement. I have high ratings for all SW4-6. SW1 I rate as: not a great "stand-alone" movie. entertaining yes. great? no. I thought all SW4-6 were great stand-alones as well as trilogy. I think SW1 will be a great 1/3 piece of a great trilogy but not stand alone (not as good a trilogy as SW4-6; that's too entrenched in our minds as being awesome; hard to compete with that; expectations for SW1-3,7-9 will always be too high to ever knock off or share the geatness of SW4-6. maybe the kiddies will like SW1-3 better since it is coming out during their childhood. I'm 33 for reference).
I think Lucas is basically draggin his a#% in making all 3 milking all the marketing crap. I wouldn't mind as much if it had been a great stand-alone movie like any of the SW4-6 but there was considerable time spent on character development and now we have to wait years for the real action.

bilbogod:
glad to see another Paxton fan. He's hilarious. Twister sucked b/c he had the lead and too serious. he was also hilarious in True Lies (Cameron film also). I thought 'A simple Plan' was funny but Paxton's situations were funny, not his character. Thornton took the humor role there as in Sling Blade. I have to go home tonight and check out T1 part again. Aliens is the best though: "What'r we gonna do now huh? What'r we gonna do now?!" and "Why don't you put her in charge?!" (speaking about the little girl). and the best "We're in some real shit now?!" I may have slightly miss-quoted.

This post is done for on POA. let's change it to classic hilarious one-liners from Bill Paxton.

[thefuzion]

HEY

THANKS FOR COMPLETELY RUINING IT FOR EVERYONE WHO HASNT SEEN IT YET..

IF I ASK YOU NICELY, COULD YOU PLEASE GO SEE LORD OF THE RINGS TOO, AND TELL ME HOW IT ENDS?.. THAT WAY I WONT HAVE TO GOT SEE IT MYLSELF...


YOURE A ******* HOMO!

MARK TOPICS AS THESE WITH *SPOILER* IN THE SUBJECT *******

[tigerwolf]

I hate stupid people. Why would one have to mark spoiler on the title when it apparently is about the end of the F**king movie.

[Sir Kopelot]

Ahhm.....(?????...

Now 4 pages on who thinks about how they whould film the movie, or argue about the directors imaginatory skills is quite enough , dont't you agree?

If u ask me in two words what i think about the ending -
it suc.ed
But then again thats my opinion anyway.....i just wanted to see what all the ruckoos was all about!

Peace(on the planet)Out!!!

[bilbogod]

Jarry - Bill Paxton is on top form in a movie called "The Man With Three Arms". There is one truly sick but hilarious moment where he discovers the corpse of a woman on a rubbish dump. Rather than freak and report it to the cops, he decides to see what it is like to kiss a woman... there's a bit more than that but you don't need more details.

[Xanadu]

Good to see some Paxton fans, now maybe I can get an answer to a question I have!

Paxton was in a movie with Ice Cube and Ice T. What was the name of it? Him and some other guy were looking for treasure hidden in the projects. Is it on DVD yet?

Re: Heston and the original Vs Remake, one thing I DIDN'T like was the sacreliege of giving the apes some of the classic Heston lines (i.e. "Get your filthy paws off me you damn, dirty human&quot. I thought that immediately discredited the remake.

"Game over, man. Game OVER!" - Bill Paxton, Aliens

[bilbogod]

The film was called "Trespass"...

Drugs and Monkeys, great combo.

Maybe, being that the title is Planet o' Apes, the movie only showed one small section of the planet where they are gathering the left over humans. Then when Mr. Mark lands in DC, it's the same planet and same time - just different location. Look at the diversity in all the countries today.

but what I really don't get is.
Why there was not 1 single monkey throwing it's own poo ?

[thefuzion]

tigerwolf:

cuz i dont wanna know how the ******* movie ends.

what are you, a retard?...

suxor donkey ballzz

[jarry]

Xanadu!! You are the MAN! That was the best of all! "Game over man, Game over!!" (You have to high-pitch squeal your voice a little in the second "over" like you caught something in your throat. The best! I saw that Ice Cube movie. Not so great. Not classic Paxton. Saw it on like FRI night network TV.

Bilbogod: I'll put '3 Arms' on my list of "check outs."

Don't forget: Weird Science. Even though I hate to bring this up b/c of the overall movie but Paxton had the small role in Titanic (course he's a favorite of Cameran's). Even though it was a serious role, I laughed (more giggled) when the flashbacks came back to the old lady telling the story and Paxton was just staring at her. It wasn't supposed to be funny and only I laughed. It just reminded me of his funny roles and expressions.
