Good film. But there is no space. Planets do not exist. The earth is flat. Wake up! Check out "Eric Dubay". - @Saturday, October 27, 2018 8:56 AM

50 year old classic? holy shit!...50?....when I was eight, my father was on TDY out of country, and with the 50 cents my mother gave us, I held my six year old sister's hand and we hiked from the family housing area, cut through the flight plain and taxi ways, across the training instruction compound, barracks and motor pool, around the collage dorm and schools , the apple, plum and pear orchard , passed the commissary and BX and all the way to the movie house right next to the bowling alley on an Air Force Base in Wiesbaden Germany to see it at the 7 pm showing, an adventure in it self with a grand reward. I loved this movie, and I didn't see it again until it came on Tv five years later in the States, on the prime time ABC Movie of the Week. Movies are like photo albums to me, and this one kept me in awe, all through adolescence. - @Sunday, August 26, 2018 2:45 AM

Personally, I am a BIG FAN of the "Planet of the Apes" franchise, and as of February, 2018, it marks both the 50th anniversary of the original 1968 film and the 55th anniversary of the original Pierre Boulle novel that started it all. Wonderful! - @Thursday, February 1, 2018 1:33 AM

IT IS WHAT IT IS because itzallconnected. Sexism, racism, and colorism are pre-programmed, mental, illnesses founded, and grounded, in extremely low self-esteem. The belief in "white supremacy" has reduced the majority of pale-skinned [white and imitation white] people to living lies who have chosen to die in The Lie. For always, and in all ways, the energy put into the world by each of us is coming home to all of us--as us. Black, and white, are "knot-races" that manifest as States Of Mind. The goal of perfecting "a weak imitation of white" has destroyed the minds of many melanated [black] people. All African Americans are "knot-black." Whereas, not every pale-skinned person is "white." Karma is what karma does. You take on the [group] karma of your mate. Tragically, in spite of centuries of warning that still include death, and castration, many of "the brothers" are now wedlocked, or deep-dick, into an unfathomable hole. Frankly, my dear, even if I could play a sax, I wouldn't give enough of a damn to imitate, NOR intimidate, the people forced [by a violent society built on unjust law] to change an overarching of "bad" into something really really good; and, therefore, profitable. Those oppressed, yet loving, people must truly be known to some higher power with long-range plans, and excellent higher order thinking skills. Soon enough, enough of us will learn, and appreciate, being "hounded into righteousness." More than likely, there is a WHITE ONLY sign on the gates of hell. Raw capitalism is as evil as live spelled backwards. The original "sin" is still the belief that any One, or any thing, can become separated from The All-of-it. Possession, like separation, is an illusion. You "own" what you are when you "die." Your body is not even your "own;" your ass will be put into a hole in the ground. A higher level of consciousness can-knot be stolen, imitated, denied, or destroyed. We are all a wonder-full part of The All-of-it. We come from KnowThing. We return to KnowThing. That bone marrow, evangelical, belief in "self-segregation" is what will separate "the wheat from the chafe" as "hue-manity" rises [a humane fusion] into the next level of consciousness. At the end of this, The Last Daze, both heads on the average [black] male will hang in shame. Perhaps, Jesus is saving them for last. 🤔 In all ways, for always, the energy put into the world by each of us comes home to all of us--as us. Integrity is what holds your life, and your ass, together. Where there is no integrity, there is no need for dignity. Back in the day, the original understanding of "hoe, and spade", included helping The White Man dig a deeper hole. You take on the [group] karma of your mate. Tragically, in spite of centuries of warning that still include death, and castration, many of "the brothers" are now wedlocked, or dick-deep, into an unfathomable hole. Karma is what karma does. Before choosing the wind beneath your wings, it is best to know which way is up. KNOW THY SELF was carved into stone by the Ancient Egyptians as both a lesson, and a reminder. Those 3 words are still more than a passing suggestion. If (y)our belief system supports any kind of slavery [mental, physical, doctrinal], (y)our religious mindset is still immoral. Every kind of force duhz "knot-work." The blind-dead, war mongering, society that refuses to balance the scales of justice while "decriminalizing injustice" must be ostracized. Integrity is what holds your health, life, and society together. The Shunning of [white] America is now as real as "the ugly American." The real tragedy is how "White People" continU to "diss-cover" their true purpose. Prepare for The Rude Awakening of [white and imitation white] America. It will be called A 2020 Vision. "If we all are not free [to be], none of us is free [to be]." - Ida B. Wells-Barnett - @Thursday, July 13, 2017 2:05 PM

Watching the new trailer for the next "Planet of The Apes" movie drove me nuts. The new movies; specifically the newest two, completely miss the point of the original and go full Hollywood block buster. The thought provoking science fiction thriller that was the original, is replaced with a weird kinda apocalyptic, kinda sci fi, kinda this, kinda that movie. - @Wednesday, May 17, 2017 1:30 PM
