@socketwench - One of the wierd things about this movie is how close it hews to the original Pierre Boule book "Monkey Planet."
EXCEPT, the apes and humans are reversed. There are even parts of the movie where they lifted scenes directly from the book.
I do love this movie. The 60/70s Planet of the Apes movies are incredibly dire, and are movies I like to watch when I WANT Humanity to burn. This one is still dire, but is at least a lot of fun getting there.
@socketwench - Oh, just you wait....
@socketwench - I've never seen a straight answer to this, but just little bits and pieces, but Sal Mineo apparently couldn't handle the ape makeup. His death MAY have been writing out the character to release him.
Unfortunately, I don't have early drafts to see if Dr Milo had more of a presence in the final movie.
@socketwench - This really is Zira's movie.
@socketwench - That's such a great reveal.
hi cis frens!
tomorrow’s thanksgiving in the US
and if you’re worried about making it awkward by calling out your transphobic relatives
MAKE IT AWKWARD
trans rights are so incredibly at risk because transphobia’s been tolerated (same for racism and ableism tbh)
YOU can help stop it
we need you 🩷👇

We import over 80% of our lumber from Canada. Get ready for home construction to cost a lot more, just for one thing.
People don't understand where construction lumber comes from, I guess. Mills in the U.S. are not adequate to fulfill the needs of the industry, and deporting a load of workers won’t help.
If you voted for this guy to send some kind of message, the message you sent isn’t interesting.
