@spottyfox - A dixie accent will make my heard flutter every time.

I think the solution might be to get even weirder.

Thoughts Before Bed

I spent a lot of my day in 1995. Looking back in hindsight, it was one of the biggest years of my life, and in ways I didn't realize until today.

[Thoughts Before Bed]

My life has been quite the adventure. And there's still more to come.

Overheard Quote of the Day: "FEET ARE STUPID!"

1980s: "The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long."

2024: "Welp, let's get the day started."

@JoshuaACNewman @socketwench - It was shown on A&E a few years ago as part of the movie, then slid into the extra features on one of the physical releases of the movie.

It's essentially the same ending, but without Lisa saying "No" and Caesar asking the apes to put down thier weapons.

That's QUITE a bit more blood and bodies as the police are dumped at Caesar's feet, and the gorillas smash the Governor with thier rifle butts (which is never seen, but certainly happening).

It's a FAR more satisfying ending.

We made a cyberpunk world in Creator Jam the last two days. I helped by creating that ramen bar you see in all the cyberpunk dystopia movies.

My Tron aesthetic didn't come through sadly, but the team that put the world together really made my little primitive bar shine.

@socketwench - Seeing all the added bodies and blood in the original ending genuinely felt good to see given the first two thirds of the movie. And while I felt Governor Breck was a bit two-dimesional as a villain, his final fate in the original ending felt rightfully earned.

@socketwench - So the writer of the Second-Through-Fourth Movies (I think that's Paul Dehn) had an entire timeline in his head about how the Apes world came around to the first movie.

The story behind Conquest is amazing. But the execution really comes across as reading a Wikipedia Article about the Apes Rebellion. It feels very tell-don't-show...like the writer is explaining the plot to us in a board meeting versus writing a movie.

@socketwench - It's funny how much we saw this in the 70s and early 80s. V: The Series basically took place in the Nation State of Los Angeles.
