Anyone else psyched about the Planet of The Apes movie out this weekend ?

Planet of the Apes was my first love before spanking. I even had a Planet of the Apes lunch box in the first grade.

Hence the nickname?

I'll probably see it, but I haven't really liked any of the Apes movies other than the original and I thought that the book by Pierre Boulle (his other known novel was Bridge on the River Kwai, hows that for diversity?) was better than any of the films that were made around the concept.

Do apes have red bottoms? Maybe that was the appeal???

Some do, generally baboons. It has been suggested that this can be part of what makes spanking desirable for some people. Male vervet monkeys genuinely have blue balls, they're quite vivid too.

I can't say I was psyched about the movie coming out, but I did want to see it, I enjoyed Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and I like Gary Oldman as an actor. I did enjoy this movie, though it was slow is some places, it told its story well.

depressing

Isn't this the second remake of the original late-1960s motion picture?

Unless they feature the Muppets, I'm hardly a fan of cinematic remakes in general, and in this case I'm doubtful that one could improve on the original.

I mean, don't we already know how it ends...?? --C.K.

I don't believe so, CK. This is almost like a prequel to that. They have remade the original with Mark Wahlberg some years ago. They've also done this before, it was one of the many spin offs from the original film, but this one seems to go into it in more depth, it's a sequel to the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes a couple of years back. Planet of the Muppets? Now that has possibilities.

Hmmm...."Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty Muppet." It works.
