Re: Which is your favorite Planet of the Apes movie?

How amazing that I was just having this conversation with a friend last night. Got to go with the first as it was the best made movie, and for me had the best overall story. Screenplay by Rod Sterling if I remember correctly.

Nah!
That's it? Backpacks too small? Time warp not computationally correct according to Einstein (you must *detest* Star Trek, eh?)? Copper and steel not dissolving as quickly as it should if it were exposed for 1000 years (did'ja think about it being buried and then rexposed just like Ardi? Maybe all that radiation transmogrified it?)?

That's too bad because you missed the point:

Well, I'm sure it was all a "youthful indiscretion"...I'm sure you're much wiser now!
