Misson Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 We actually have a pet photo thread over here: https://pyracy.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8776 I don't think the undead monkeys topic has been fully explored yet, however. [Copyright Disney and suchlike] Here's a shot of my model of Jack for a haunted house room. If it interests you, you can see the whole page on my version of Jack here. As for Planet of the Apes, the first movie was really good and they acquired an increasingly lower quality aspect after that. I understand that this was due to the thought process in Hollywood at the time on the nature of sequels. Back then, they thought each sequel would make progressively less money so they should invest less in them. Unfortunately, this has a sort of self-fulfilling prophesy aspect to it. If you put less money in, you can do less with the movie (especially effects intensive movies like the Planet of the Apes series - the make-up was horrendously difficult to do, especially at first.) Fortunately, Star Wars came along and Geo. L. proved this this theory was yet another example of why Hollywood "thinking inside the box" was hidebound and foolish. (OTOH, if you're talking about Tim Burton's take on the thing...it kinda' sucked IMO. Too much preaching a'going on in there IMHO. (Which is actually sort of odd, given the preachy nature of the original story.) The soundtrack has its merits, however.)

Manglin' Maggi Maloney Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 O.O well this is an odd coinkydinky! When i woke up this morning, i found i was in the mood for Planet of the Apes, watched the first part of it, then decided what i really in the mood for was the soundtrack, so switched gears and went to Danny Elfman's commentary on that. Think what a surprise, to sign on here and see this post after i had posted on the "What Are You Listening To Now" thread about listening to that soundtrack.. wow, a planet must have tilted on is axis somewhere.. BTW, i love the monkey ensign ya got there Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack an Apes Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 That's some interesting "Jack the monkey" page you have there, Misson. I think it is well done and extremely creative. And the whole POTC room intrigues me... BTW, thanks, Maloney It wasn't all that hard work I'm extremely frustrated because I can't upload a picture of a black spider monkey, which I found extremely cute. (yes, I'm a guy. I just have feelings xD ) Although, this picture: creeps me out o.O I do believe the monkey's not a zombie, but it's close to that And I think I should read this book. :) (If it is a book, only saw it's picture) Dead men tell no tales... how 'bout monkeys?
