as an avid fan of the original I was livid with the Tim Burton one. years later i STILL know how that movie ended.

Badly.

The one major problem with the TB one is he tried to use Star Trek logic to explain the movie...only Star Trek can use Star Trek logic correctly.

you maniacs. you did it. you really did it.

god damn you all to hell.

another scene that i think ranks up there as one of the best all time is just after Taylor and his crew see there are humans on this new planet he goes "in a couple of months we will be running this place" and you hear that horn and the humans start scrambling and the exact moment Taylor sees an ape riding a horse still gives me chills.

That move has like 5 underlying stories all going on at the same time. Totally brilliant filmmakig.

Much as I hate Tim Burton's filmmaking, I will say one thing.

The ending of his movie is actually closer to the book by Pierre Boulle - which ptobably nobody's read - than the original movie's end was. In the book, the astronaut (not named Taylor) escapes the planet in his ship, with a wife and son, and returns to Paris in the future to find a modern city...run by gorillas.

(there's kind of another 'Twilight Zone' twist added in after that too)

So in fairness, Burton followed the original book when it came to the ending.

That doesn't make the movie, or the ending, any better honestly. It just explains where it came from.

For the record, I think the Heston movie ending is a million times better than the book version.

Meh. A reboot was not needed, in fact Apes just got a reboot about a decade ago with marky-mark.

The only reason the studio made this movie was to keep the franchise. A little known rule about movies is that IP's expire after a given time and go up for "auction". If a studio that owns the IP fails to make a movie with a number of years, that IP no longer belongs to them. It's why there's a 4th X-men movie coming out, along with so many other damn sequels.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
