Ass-Headed Bottom: With all due respect to Moses/Jesus (may he rest in peace/live forever), the original Planet of the Apes is every bit as ponderous and unwatchable as Soylent Green, which, by the way, is made out of PEOPLE! But yeah, if I owned a Planet of the Apes Treehouse, ohhhh muddafukka would I play with that...Koko: Oddly fitting that the treehouse is for French children. You know, a few months before 9/11, I watched the entire Apes franchise in one sitting. No connection there, just thought I'd mention it. Also, however bad this movie is, it did give us something to burlesque for the next six hundred years, until real man-monkeys conquer the earth and make this whole thing wonderfully ironic.
Koko (again): Does anybody remember the musical version of Planet of the Apes from midway through The Simpsons, before the show's predictable march toward postmodernity--the one with a breakdancing Dr. Zaius? That was awesome. Also awesome is the musical's closing song, "Yes, you finally made a monkey out of me."
