    Must be a "cable thing" - ain't seen it on satellite.

    Thing is, the first "Planet of the Apes" was a shocker for some that saw it for the first time. By todays standards it is mild - like salt to acid (Apes' being salt). Still, look at the time of its release and the response of it.

    Film can have an impact. Well, at one time it could - and maybe even now. Today, however, people tend to drift towards the films that confirm their beliefs - versus challenging them or awakening ideas they previously had not considered.

    We live in a duplitic world where parents have become so wise as to manipulate their offsprings into compliance to their well found beliefs. Me, I grew up in one that we challenged everything. Today, conformance seems to hold the key.

    Ain't it a wonderful thing. "Little pink houses for you and me."
