It's a sh*thouse! A sh*thouse! BLOG: cinematicexcrement.wordpress.com TWITTER: / smeghead4269 VIMEO: vimeo.com/cinematicexcrement (If you can't find an older episode of Cinematic Excrement on RU-vid, it's probably here.)
Given the oddity of this movie, I like to imagine the horses were actually the dominant species on the planet until the apes arrived. The idea of a war between intelligent horses and apes is just so bonkers that I'd actually pay money to see that. 🤣
The fact that one of the executives at Fox had no idea that Roddy McDowell was the co-star one of Fox's classic films is news to me, and a real shocker! Jackson made the right call in bailing out before the shit hit the fan.
I loved the original 1960's version of planet of the apes, I watched it several times as a kid. I went to see this in the cinema when it came out and I was so mad, I was fuming. People kept shushing me because I was bitching about it the entire time. THE HUMANS ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO TALK!! That was a huge part of the plot! If they can talk it ruins everything!
To slightly paraphrase Christopher Walken in Batman Returns, "Tim. Shame on you." Also, don't you love it how Glenn Shadix went from being terrorized by an ape in Dunston Checks In to being one in this movie?
I'm convinced Tim Burton created that stupid ending out of pure spite and was being sarcastic when he said he made the ending that way for the benefit of the filmmaker to take his place.
