Good news for me, as the next movie I'm planning to see in theaters in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, starring Oldman.
Damn dirty apes, I didn’t see the first one, is the audience supposed to sympathize with the apes and root for them to enslave humanity like in the original movies?
I was positive Oldman was lib, guess I was mistaken.
He’s a terrific actor.
I’ve known Oldman has been on the right since he publicly blasting a film he was in, “The Contender”, back in 2000 as leftist propaganda.
I hate that movie.
It’s more palatable watching it as the knee-slapping comedy that it is. It’s a premier example of how left-wingers think government/politics is supposed to work.
Yes, pleasantly surprised. I do think that some of the Hollweirdos “go along” with the Obama rump swabbing just to stay employed though. What %? No idea, but I’d say less than 20% anyway. At the end of the day, who doesn’t want to keep what they work for?
These “Planet of the Apes” remakes are just too GCI for me. I grew up watching the originals (played as repeats) and like most things, those are the standard.
Speaking of Nicholson/The Shining/Tuco:
Eli’s wife, Anne Jackson, played the nurse that visited Danny and Wendy in the home before they took off for The Overlook...
RE The Shining:
Still on my favorites list... although I liked the book better.
“Might I suggest....She needs to be.... corrected, sir....”
Chilling stuff!!!
Never read the book. Loved Delbert Grady!
I was big into King’s early novels - Salem’s Lot; The Stand; It!, The Shining... also Robert McKimmon and Dean Koontz as well.
Too bad King is a raving lefty. Won’t buy his stuff now.
“Grady”... caught cabin fever, murdered the whole family...
A landfill would more of an honor.
It seems appropriate to me, since the USPS is one of the largest employers of American veterans.
This lists them all :Planet of the Apes (franchise)
The remake Planet of the Apes 2001 sucked.
I think you are talking about the newest remake ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ 2011 (prior to this 2014 movie) reminded me of a King Kong remake.
I only saw it because it was on HBO.
It had impressive special effects but with a script and acting that both really suck. I wouldn't pay to see it.
The original 1968 had few special effects but it has a pretty darn good script, but each sequel made in the 1970s was worse than the rest prior set before it.
The idea of a bunch of apes taking over is pretty dumb anyway,
Someone, please primary him!
Yes. Didn't see that one, this new one is a sequel to that one.
I did see the 2001 Tim Burton one. The ending made no damn sense.
The 1968er I probably seen 100X, and has no real special effects.
The 2001 version I wouldn't watch a second time for free.
Come on :
Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall, Maurice Evans, Kim Hunter, James Whitmore, James Daly, and Linda Harrison.
vs
Mark Wahlberg, Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Clarke Duncan, Paul Giamatti, and Estella Warren.
Kids today are used to such crap.
Their unions are forces of evil.
Filling is closed in Alaska. He has 3 nobody challengers with no money. As I said, Alaska conservatives have no excuse for letting him off the hook.
Roth is a good actor. Marky Mark OTOH.....
I saw all the originals on the Sci-Fi channel.
Zaus says “Man is evil and will destroy everything he comes across, he will make a desert of his home and yours” (isn't that the libs/illegals moving to where we live doing that?),
then Charlton Heston with the babe on a horse coming across the statue of liberty,’Damn you all to hell, you blew it up,.....”
I still love to watch the first ~ 20 minutes before they are captured, Heston's lines as Taylor are classic.
He rubs into one of the others “Everything you knew and loved are long dead”
When I was a teen I read the book too.
I never would of after these newer movies.
In those days acting and script mattered.
Complete crap. But they think it’s good, they’ve been programmed/it’s all they know.
