More Monkey Goodness

If can't get enough of apes, then hang on to your pants: in March, Planet of the Apes: The Ultimate DVD Collection is coming out. This 14-disc set is a limited edition of 10,000. It contains the original 1968 Planet of the Apes and the four sequels. It also has the 2001 Tim Burton remake, as well as the entire run of the live-action TV show from the 70's. If that's not enough for you, then they also threw in Return to the Planet of the Apes, the cartoon series from 1975. Sheesh! How much more can you possibly take?

But wait, there's more! The boxset also comes with a life-size bust of Caesar! Won't this look great in your living room?


Caesar's eyes will follow you around the room, and if you get too close, he will make screaming chimpanzee noises. Just kidding (I think). All this monkey love can be yours for about $180. I think I'll pass on this. I've never been a big fan of this series, although from time to time, I do like to say "take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!"
