we went along the alexanderplatz (big spot in berlin) and they had a giant ape face modeled and hanging from a huge building there for advertisement. a cineplex is around the corner etc.
the little troublemaker LOVES monkeys and when she saw it she went ape-shit and almost by herself got out of the buggy. those seat belts could barely keep her back. I guess she wanted to climb the building and touch the big nose or something.
ANYHOW, had me think of the whole series of the APE movies. I recall catching the old ones on the tube when I was small....like 10 years old or so maybe? so I got no recollection at all really, other than that there's some ape/human love thing going on, some revolution of course, oh apes, oh noes humans etc....well I know the premise and such. but I never really paid attention to it and never felt like missing out on something. hmm...
now as cool as mark wahlberg is, I don't like him in movies other than comedies these days. sorry. and he was in one of the new editions to the ape-saga wasn't he? and...james franco? I caught bits and pieces of these remakes or whatever on the tube some time ago, but was again rather meh towards it.
NOW, question: is it worth catching up on all of it? like, really?! ape-athon: yes or no?! I might do that if you convince me. do it cartis! I mean curter! yes? |
