      The original Planet of the Apes movies reversed Great-Ape ethology, making chimps the good guys and gorillas the thugs, when in reality chimps are nasty and gorillas chill. A blood libel on peace-loving gorillas! https://twitter.com/katiebellsworld/status/1220420424850378752 …

      as horrible as the Wahlberg POTA movie was--at least it got that dynamic more correct.

      Is that the current one or the one from the Aughts?

      the one from the Aughts. The very bad terrible one that only has the Charlton Heston Cameo as the only worthwhile thing in the entire movie.

      I think it was @bigtimcavanaugh who pointed out that the ending of that one recalled the "11th" Planet of the Apes movie described in A Scanner Darkly, where "all the famous people in history like Lincoln and Nero were secretly apes and running all human history from the start."

      This supports my theory that all sprawling open-ended narratives become gnostic if they go on long enough.

          But when do we get the film adaptation of the Planet of the Apes musical from The Simpsons? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOeUXEpxzcc …

          That is, of course, the high point of the Apes franchise.

          The best thing about this tweet is that I wasn't sure at first whether it was part of our Planet of the Apes conversation or our Assassination of Huey Long conversation.
