A film you missed.MovieBob said:
A lost film only know of it's existence from this single surviving poster, it was supposed to of been made by Toho, best know for making Godzilla. Little is known of the film, and it is suggested that all copies were destroyed during the bombing during WW2. Completely losing films was REALLY common at the time, we only have about one third of all films made before 1950, and many the ones we have are in incomplete form (Metrapolist is thought to have about a third to a forth of the film lost), or only exist in one single copy (Thomas Edison's Frankenstein).
So! I just watched Monkey Shines.
It's Romero, I had to try it out.
Not bad. Sort of Freudian, though not in the 'kill your father to fuck your mother' sense. More like Lord of the Flies was Freudian. Kind of made me think of a recent article here about Rousseau vs. Hobbes (and also, in that case, about Red Dead Redemption and Fallout New Vegas). Definitely more on the Hobbes end of things.

Haha, I was at a friend's house talking about our childhoods TV shows with their kids. I broke out Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp and we went to Youtube for some videos. They could not believe their eyes. Kids today....
For "great apes" MovieBob, George of the Jungle is worth a mention for John Cleese's performance. Dare I say it was "primal"?

Hey! Don't be dissin' on Lancelot Link. I've been thinking for a while that it's overdue for a big-screen revival.
Of course, I also want someone to do a big-budget state of the arts special effects feature based on the old TV series UFO. (Still set in the 80s, naturally.)

Am I the only one here who saw the title of this post and instantely thought of Ape Escape 3?
Also, good job Bob.
