as an avid fan of the original I was livid with the Tim Burton one. years later i STILL know how that movie ended.

Badly.

The one major problem with the TB one is he tried to use Star Trek logic to explain the movie...only Star Trek can use Star Trek logic correctly.

you maniacs. you did it. you really did it.

god damn you all to hell.

another scene that i think ranks up there as one of the best all time is just after Taylor and his crew see there are humans on this new planet he goes "in a couple of months we will be running this place" and you hear that horn and the humans start scrambling and the exact moment Taylor sees an ape riding a horse still gives me chills.

That move has like 5 underlying stories all going on at the same time. Totally brilliant filmmakig.

Much as I hate Tim Burton's filmmaking, I will say one thing.

The ending of his movie is actually closer to the book by Pierre Boulle - which ptobably nobody's read - than the original movie's end was. In the book, the astronaut (not named Taylor) escapes the planet in his ship, with a wife and son, and returns to Paris in the future to find a modern city...run by gorillas.

(there's kind of another 'Twilight Zone' twist added in after that too)

So in fairness, Burton followed the original book when it came to the ending.

That doesn't make the movie, or the ending, any better honestly. It just explains where it came from.

For the record, I think the Heston movie ending is a million times better than the book version.

Meh. A reboot was not needed, in fact Apes just got a reboot about a decade ago with marky-mark.

The only reason the studio made this movie was to keep the franchise. A little known rule about movies is that IP's expire after a given time and go up for "auction". If a studio that owns the IP fails to make a movie with a number of years, that IP no longer belongs to them. It's why there's a 4th X-men movie coming out, along with so many other damn sequels.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
