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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
