I think the fact that Heston really chews up the scenery is one of the best
things about the film. His over the top performance is perfectly suited to
Planet of the Apes, whereas it wouldn't have worked in so many of his other
films. Love him or hate him, Heston was a perfect piece of casting.

Alan

Could you guys please explain what it is about Heston's performance in PLANET that's 'over the top'?   I think it's one of Heston's most nuanced performances, and coming after "Will Penny" Heston was really on an acting roll.  His next part after PLANET, 1969's "Number One," was good also, though the movie was rather bad.

Hey, I love making fun of Chuck too, but I think in PLANET he was dead on perfect.

I watched this programme when it was on TV. I'm curious - how much would it
take for someone to manipulate this volcano in such a way as to cause the
conditions necessary for this mega-tsunami? Just wondering if some enemy of
the US could do it with a couple of well-placed explosions or if it really
needs a massive natural eruption to do it.

I saw a show not long ago that claimed our sun will grow to a super red giant and swallow the earth in a few billion years, but we'll all be dead by then so who cares?

True and there are so many other things about Chuck we can make fun
of like his bad toupee or that he's President of NRA.

It seems that the Battle subtitles in Japanese will be removeded after all.
My dvd editor seems to be doing the trick nicely. But I still have to run
some more tests.

I'll keep you all posted on that venture.

Best.

Well, as much as it was possible to remove the subtitles, in turn the
quality of the re-capture drops. So while there will be no subtitles the
quality in picture drops to just above Video-CD quality (lower than video
tape), which in my opinion, sucks.

So subtitles will remain, and quality will remain at original laser disc
quality.

Best.
Al

P.S. hey, I tried.

OK Since Rory brought up some interesting points the other day; I thought I
thought I'd answer him with this map. This is how I see all this.
Feel free to flame me now. LOL

Is it true, based on his original deal with Jacobs, that he gets 5%
of the gross of any POTA film he appears in? Which would explain why
he did the cameo in the remake.

All I can say that if they made the Nove figure in a lifesize
